qSafety Chains
Safety chains must be used as a precautionary measure should the trailer become
unintentionally unhitched. They should cross under the trailer tongue and attach to the
hitch. Leave enough slack to allow full turns. Consult literature published by your trailer or
hitch manufacturer for more details.
WARNING
Make sure the safety chain is securely attached to both the trailer and the vehicle
prior to departure:
Towing a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer
and the vehicle is dangerous. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, the
trailer could wander into another lane and cause a collision.
qTrailer Lights
Trailer lights must comply with all federal, state, and local regulations. Equip your trailer
as required before towing it day or night.
CAUTION
Do not connect a trailer lighting system directly to the lighting system of your
Mazda. This may damage your vehicle's electrical system and lighting systems. Have
a recreational vehicle dealer or trailer rental agency connect the system, and inspect
the brake lights and turn signals yourself before each trip.
qTrailer Brakes
If the total trailer weight exceeds 450 kg (1,000 lb), trailer brakes are required. If your
trailer has brakes, make sure they comply with all federal, state, and local regulations.
WARNING
Do not connect a hydraulic trailer-brake system to your vehicle's brake system:
Connecting a hydraulic trailer-brake system directly to the vehicle brake system is
dangerous and will result in inadequate braking and possible injury.
qTrailer Towing Tips
lVerify that your Mazda maintains a near-normal attitude when a loaded or unloaded
trailer is connected. Do not drive if it has an abnormal front-up or front-down position.
Inspect for incorrect tongue load, worn suspension parts, and trailer overloading.
lMake sure the trailer is properly loaded and the cargo is secure to prevent it from
shifting.
lMake sure the mirrors conform to all government regulations. If they do not, install
required rear view mirrors appropriate for towing purposes.

Monitoring (BSM) warning lights equipped on the door mirrors.
lSnow or ice is adhering to the door mirrors.lThe front door glass is fogged or covered in snow, frost or dirt.lThe radar sensors of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system may be regulated under the radio
wave related laws of the country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors in this system are
approved for use in the U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and Mexico. If a vehicle with a
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is driven in a country other than the U.S.A., Canada, or
Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) switch.
lThe system switches to the Rear Cross Traffic Alert function when the shift lever (manual
transaxle) or the selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to the reverse (R) position.
Refer to Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) on page 4-111.
qBlind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Warning Lights/Blind Spot Monitoring

reverse:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at the rear when
putting the vehicle in reverse. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this
system, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning light may not flash or it might be
delayed even though a vehicle is behind your vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the rear.
