CAUTION
Be aware of the towing load weight differences when towing at high altitudes. For altitudes
exceeding 1,000 meter (3,280 ft 10 in), always reduce the towing load by 10% for every 1,000
meter (3,280 ft 10 in) increase in altitude from the load indicated under the gross combination
weight heading in the maximum trailer towing-l oad table. If the determined maximum total
towing load weight is exceed ed, the engine and other power train parts may be damaged.

WA R N I N G
Always keep tow loads within specified limits as indicated in the Trailer Towing-Load Table:
Attempting to tow loads great
er than those specified is dangerous as it may cause serious
handling and performance problems that could result in personal injury or vehicle damage,
or both.
Always keep the trailer nose weight within the specified limits in the Trailer Towing-Load
Table:
Loading the trailer with more weight in the rear than in the front is dangerous. This could
cause loss of vehicle control and an accident.
NOTE
•The total trailer weight and nose weight can be determined by weighing the trailer on
platform scales at a highway weighing station or a trucking company.
•Appropriate total trailer weight and nose we ight may prevent the danger of trailer sway
from crosswinds, rough roads, or other causes.

▼Trailer Towing Tips
Before driving
•Verify that your Mazda maintains a near-normal attitude when a
loaded or unloaded trailer
is connected. Do not drive if it h as an abnormal front-up or front-down position. Inspect
for incorrect nose weight, worn suspension parts, and trailer o verloading. Have the
vehicle inspected by an expert re pairer, we recommend an Author ised Mazda Repairer.
•Make sure the trailer cargo is secure to prevent it from shifting.
•Make sure the mirrors meet all g overnment regulations. Inspect them.
•Before starting out, inspect the operation of all vehicle and t railer lights and all
vehicle-to-trailer connections. Stop and re-inspect all lights and connections after driving
a short distance.
Driving
•Your Mazda will handle differentl y with a trailer in tow, so practice turning, backing, and
stopping in a traffic-free area.
•Take time to get accustomed to the extra weight and length.
•Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) w ith a trailer in tow. If the local legal maximum speed
with a trailer in tow is less than 100 km/h (62 mph), do not ex ceed the legal speed.
CAUTION
If the vehicle exceeds 100 km/h (62 mph) with a trailer in tow, the vehicle could be
damaged.
•When ascending a hill, shift into a lower gear to reduce the po ssibility of overloading or
overheating the engine, or both.
•When descending a hill, shift into a lower gear and use engine compression as a braking
effect. Pay constant attention to speed and use the brakes only as needed. Holding the
brake pedal down for a prolonged period may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
power.
Parking
Avoid parking on an incline with a trailer. If this must be done, follow these instructions.
Parking on an Incline
1. Set the parking brake and the brakes.
2. Have someone block the wheels of the vehicle and trailer whil e you apply the brakes.
3. After the wheels are blocked, release the parking brake and t he brakes slowly, allowing
the blocks to bear the load.
4. Set the parking brake firmly.
Before Driving
To w i n g
3-68
2017-6-7 7:51:19 Form No. CX-5 8FY4-EE-17E+L_Edition2

5. If the vehicle has an automatic transaxle, put the selector lever in P. If it has a manual
transaxle, place the gear shift in 1 or R.
Starting on an Incline
1. Start the engine (page 4-5).
2. Release the parking brake and slowly pull away a short distan ce from the wheel blocks.
3. Stop on the nearest level ground, set the parking brake, and pick up the wheel blocks.

Ignition Switch
▼Push Button Start Positions
The system operates only when the key is
within operational range.
Each time the push button start is pressed,
the ignition switches
in the order of off,
ACC, and ON. Pressing the push button
start again from ON switches the ignition
off.
Indicator light
Push button start
NOTE
•The engine starts by pressing the push
button start while depressing the clutch
pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake
pedal (automatic transaxle). To switch
the ignition position, press the push
button start without depressing the
pedal.
•Do not leave the ignition switched ON
while the engine is not running. Doing
so could result in the battery going
dead. If the ignition is left in ACC (For
automatic transaxle, the selector lever is
in the P position, and the ignition is in
ACC), the ignition switches off
automatically after about 25 minutes.
Off
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the push button start
indicator light (amber) also turns off.
In this position the steering wheel is
locked.
WA R N I N G
Before leaving the driver's seat, always
switch the ignition off, set the parking
brake, and make sure the selector lever is in
P (automatic transaxle) or in 1st gear or R
(manual transaxle):
Leaving the driver's seat without switching
the ignition off, setting the parking brake,
and shifting the selector lever to P
(automatic transaxle) or to 1st gear or R
(manual transaxle) is dangerous.
Unexpected vehicle movement could occur
which could result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to leave the
vehicle for even a short period, it is
important to switch the ignition off, as
leaving it in another position will disable
some of the vehicle's security systems and
run the battery down.
NOTE
(Locked steering wheel)
If the push button start indicator light
(green) is flashing and the beep sound is
heard, this indicates that the steering
wheel is not unlocked. To unlock the
steering wheel, press the push button start
while moving the steering wheel left and
right.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber) illuminates.
When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
4-4
2017-6-7 7:51:19 Form No. CX-5 8FY4-EE-17E+L_Edition2

In this position the steering wheel is
unlocked.
NOTE
The keyless entry system does not function
while the push button start has been
pressed to ACC, and the doors will not
lock/unlock even if they have been locked
manually.
ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. The indicator light
(amber) turns off. (The indicator light
(amber) illuminates when the ignition is
switched ON and the engine is not
running.)
Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine is
started (page 4-42).
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5)
When the push button start is pressed to
ON, the sound of the fuel pump motor
operating near the fuel tank can be heard.
This does not indi cate an abnormality.
Starting the Engine
WA R N I N G
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers:
Before using the key near people who use
medical devices, ask the medical device
manufacturer or your physician if radio
waves from the key w ill affect the device.
NOTE
•The key must be carried because the key
carries an immobilizer chip that must
communicate with the engine controls at
short range.
•The engine can be started when the push
button start is pressed from off, ACC, or
ON.
•The push button start system functions
(function which can start the engine by
only carrying the key) can be
deactivated to prevent any possible
adverse effect on a user wearing a
pacemaker or other medical device. If
the system is deactivated, you will be
unable to start the engine by carrying
the key. Consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer for details. If the push button
start system functions have been
deactivated, you can start the engine by
following the procedure indicated when
the key battery goes dead.
Refer to Engine Start Function When
Key Battery is Dead on page 4-9.
•After starting a cold engine, the engine
speed increases and a whining sound
from the engine compartment can be
heard.
