2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-30 ECU

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
xThe 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.
xAppropriate total trailer weight and nose weight may prevent the danger of trailer
sway from crosswinds, rough roads, or other causes.
▼Trailer Hitch
When towing a trailer, use an appropriate trailer hitch. We recommend using a
genuine Mazda trailer hitch. Use the original holes drilled by the vehicle
manufacturer for securing the trailer hitch. Consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer) for more information.

▼Ty re s
When towing a trailer, make sure all
tyres are inflated to the recommended
cold-tyre pressure, as indicated on the
tyre pressure chart on the driver's door
frame. Trailer tyre size, load rating, and
inflation pressures should conform to
tyre manufacturer specifications.
WARNING
Never use the temporary spare tyre
when towing:
Using the temporary spare tyre on your
vehicle when towing a trailer is
dangerous as it could result in tyre
failure, loss of control, and injury to
vehicle occupants.
▼Safety 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.
▼Trailer Lights
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. To connect the lighting
system, consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer)
▼Trailer Brakes
Check the Maximum trailer
towing-load table in Weight Limits
(page 3-61), and if your trailer weight
exceeds the value in the TOTAL
TRAILER WEIGHT (Trailer without
brake), trailer brakes are required.
If your trailer has brakes, make sure
they meet 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.
▼Trailer Towing Tips
Before driving
xVerify 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 nose weight,
worn suspension parts, and trailer
overloading. Have the vehicle
inspected by an expert repairer (we
Before Driving
To w i n g
3-66

recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).
xMake sure the trailer cargo is secure
to prevent it from shifting.
xMake sure the mirrors meet all
government regulations. Inspect
them.
xBefore starting out, inspect the
operation of all vehicle and trailer
lights and all vehicle-to-trailer
connections. Stop and re-inspect all
lights and connections after driving a
short distance.
Driving
xYour Mazda will handle differently
with a trailer in tow, so practice
turning , backing , and stopping in a
traffic-free area.
xTake time to get accustomed to the
extra weight and length.
xDo not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph)
with 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 exceed the legal speed.
CAUTION
If the vehicle exceeds 100 km/h (62
mph) with a trailer in tow, the
vehicle could be damaged.
xWhen ascending a hill, shift into a
lower gear to reduce the possibility
of overloading or overheating the
engine, or both.
xWhen 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 while you
apply the brakes.
3. After the wheels are blocked,
release the parking brake and the
brakes slowly, allowing the blocks
to bear the load.
4. Set the parking brake firmly.
5. If the vehicle has an automatic
transmission, put the selector lever
in P position. If it has a manual
transmission, place the gear shift in
1 or R position.
Starting on an Incline
1. Start the engine (page 4-5).
2. Release the parking brake and
slowly pull away a short distance
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.
1. Indicator light
2. Push button start
NOTE
xThe engine starts by pressing the
push button start while depressing
the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission). To switch
the ignition position, press the push
button start without depressing the
pedal.
xDo 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 transmission,
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 indicator light
(amber) also turns off.
In this position the steering wheel is
locked.
WARNING
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
transmission) position or in 1st gear
or R (manual transmission):
Leaving the driver's seat without
switching the ignition off, setting the
parking brake, and shifting the selector
lever to P (automatic transmission)
position or to 1st gear or R (manual
transmission) 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 , a message is
displayed on the multi-information,
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.
