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.

i-ACTIV AWD Operation*
4WD provides excellent drivability on
snow-covered and ice-packed roads, sand
and mud, as well as on steep slopes and
other slippery surfaces.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning
Lights on page 4-42.
WA R N I N G
Never spin a wheel that is off the ground:
Spinning a wheel that is off the ground as a
result of the vehicle being stuck or in a
ditch is dangerous. The drive assembly
could be seriously damaged which could
lead to an accident or could even lead to
overheating, oil leakage, and a fire.
▼ 4WD Driving
This vehicle has not been designed for the
purpose of off-road driving or rallies. Do
not attempt to drive over uneven or rocky
surfaces, or across rivers.
Although this vehicle is equipped with
4WD, acceleration, steering and braking
operations should be conducted in the
same manner as with a non-4WD vehicle,
with the emphasis placed on safe driving.
▼Tyres and Tyre Chains
The condition of the tyres plays a large
role in the performance of the vehicle.
Moreover, to prevent adverse effects to the
drive assembly, please note the following:
Ty r e s
•When replacing tyres, always replace all
front and rear tyres
at the same time.
•All tyres must be of the same size,
manufacture, brand and tread pattern.
Pay particular attention when equipping
snow or other types of winter tyres.
•Do not mix tread-worn tyres with
normal tyres.
•Inspect tyre inflation pressures at the
specified periods adjust to the specified
pressures.
NOTE
Check the tyre inflation pressure label
attached to driver's door frame for the
correct tyre inflation pressure.
•Make sure to equip the vehicle with
genuine wheels of the specified size, on
all wheels. With 4WD, the system is
calibrated for all four wheels being of
the same dimensions.
Ty r e c h a i n s
•Install tyre chains to the front tyres.
•Do not use tyre chains on the rear
wheels.
•Do not drive the vehicle faster than 30
km/h (19 mph) with the tyre chains
installed.
•Do not drive the vehicle with tyre chains
on road conditions other than snow or
ice.
▼ To w i n g
If the vehicle requires towing, have it
towed with all four wheels completely off
the ground.
Refer to Towing Description on page 7-
39.

To w i n g D e s c r i p t i o n
We recommend that towing be done only
by an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer or a
commercial tow-truck service.

Proper lifting and towing are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle. Particularly
when towing a 4WD vehicle, where all the
wheels are connected to the drive train,
proper transporting of the vehicle is
absolutely essential to avoid damaging the
drive system. Government and local laws
must be followed.
Wheel dollies

A towed 2WD vehicle should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) off the ground.
If excessive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.

When towing a 2WD vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground, release the parking
brake.
Refer to Electric Par king Brake (EPB) on
page 4-81.

A towed 4WD vehicle must have all its
wheels off the ground.
WA R N I N G
Always tow a 4WD vehicle with all four
wheels off the ground:
Towing a 4WD vehicle with either the front
or rear wheels on the ground is dangerous
as the drive train could be damaged, or the
vehicle could trail away from the tow truck
and cause an accident. If the drive train has
been damaged, transport the vehicle on a
flatbed truck.
CAUTION
 Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward
with driving wheels on the ground. This
may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.
