2022 MAZDA MODEL 3 SEDAN suspension

CAUTION
Heed the following precautions to
assure correct operation of each
system.
Do not adhere stickers (including
transparent stickers) to the surface of
the radiator grille and front emblem
in and around the front radar sensor,
and do not replace the radiator grille
and front emblem with any product
that is not a genuine product
designed for use with the front radar
sensor.
 The front radar sensor includes a
function for detecting soiling of the
radar sensor's front surface and
informing the driver, however,
depending on the conditions, it may
require time to detect or it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or
snow. If this occurs, the system may
not operate correctly, therefore
always keep the front radar sensor
clean.
 Do not install a grille guard.
 If the front part of the vehicle has
been damaged in a vehicle accident,
the position of the front radar sensor
may have moved. Stop the system
immediately and always have the
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
 Do not use the front bumper to push
other vehicles or obstructions such
as when pulling out of a parking
space. Otherwise, the front radar
sensor could be hit and its position
deviated.
 Do not remove, disassemble, or
modify the front radar sensor.
 For repairs, replacement or paint
work around the front radar sensor,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Do not modify the suspensions. If
the suspensions are modified, the
vehicle's posture could change and
the front radar sensor may not be
able to correctly detect a vehicle
ahead or an obstruction.
NOTE
When the vehicle is driven on roads
in which there is an elevated road on
one side, the front radar sensor
function may be restricted
temporarily.
Under the following conditions, the
front radar sensor may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions
correctly and each system may not
operate normally.
The rear surface of a vehicle ahead
does not reflect radio waves
effectively, such as an unloaded
trailer or an automobile with a
loading platform covered by a soft
top, vehicles with a hard plastic
tailgate, and round-shaped
vehicles.
Vehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for reflecting radio waves.
Visibility is reduced due to a
vehicle ahead casting
off water,
snow, or sand from its tires and
onto your windshield.
The trunk/luggage compartment is
loaded with heavy objects or the
rear passenger seats are occupied.
Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.
During inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.
When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio
waves.

WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle:
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is
dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and doing so
will
affect the drive system which could
result in vehicle damage.
This section will guide you in the
proper loading of your vehicle, to keep
your loaded vehicle weight within its
design rating capability. Properly
loading your vehicle will provide
maximum return of vehicle design
performance. Before loading your
vehicle, familiarize yourself with the
following terms for determining your
vehicle's weight ratings, from the
vehicle's Safety Certification Label and
Tire and Load Information Label:
WARNING
Overloaded Vehicle:
Overloading a vehicle is dangerous.
The results of overloading can have
serious consequences in terms of
passenger safety. Too much weight on
a vehicle's suspension system can
cause spring or shock absorber failure,
brake failure, handling or steering
problems, irregular tire wear, tire
failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to
drive and control. It also increases the
distance required for stopping. In cases
of serious overloading, brakes can fail
completely, particularly on steep
grades. The load a tire will carry safely
is a combination of the size of the tire,
its load range, and corresponding
inflation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always
observe the vehicle's weight ratings
from the vehicle's Safety Certification
and Tire and Load Information labels.
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the
vehicle including a full tank of fuel
and all standard equipment. It does
not include passengers, cargo, or
optional equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight is the weight of
your new vehicle when you picked it
up from your dealer plus any
aftermarket equipment.
