dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tyres.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with the tyre
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using
tyres with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 4-233).
Use snow tyres on all 4 wheels
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible speed for your snow tyres
or legal speed limits.
Europe
When snow tyres are used, select the
specified size and pressure (page
9-10).
▼Ty re C h a i n s
Check local regulations before using
tyre chains.

by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle on flooded
roads as it could cause short circuiting
of electrical/electronic parts, or engine
damage or stalling from water
absorption. If the vehicle has been
immersed in water, consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
Turbocharger Information
(SKYACTIV-D 1.8)
▼Turbocharger Information
(SKYACTIV-D 1.8)
CAUTION
¾After driving at freeway speeds or up
a long hill, trailer towing for a long
time, idle the engine at least 30
seconds before stopping it.
Otherwise, the turbocharger could
be damaged. However, when i-stop
operates, idling is unnecessary.
¾Racing or over-revving the engine,
particularly after it's just been
started, can damage the
turbocharger.
¾To protect the engine from damage,
the engine is designed so that it
cannot be raced just after starting it
in extremely cold weather.
The turbocharger greatly enhances
engine power. Its advanced design
provides improved operation and
requires minimum maintenance.

To get the most from it, observe the
following.
1. Change engine oil and filter
according to Scheduled
Maintenance.
Refer to Europe on page 6-3.
Refer to Except Europe on page
6-6.
2. Use only recommended engine oil
(page 6-24). Extra additives are
NOT recommended.
Before Driving
Driving Tips
3-59

▼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.
