Having the Vehicle Towed
We recommend that towing be done
only by an Authorized Mazda Dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Particularly when towing an AWD
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.
WARNING
Always tow an AWD vehicle with all
four wheels off the ground.
Towing an AWD 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
forkward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
If the parking brake cannot be
released when towing the vehicle,
transport the vehicle with all front
and rear wheels raised
off the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels off the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.

turn on at

quickly in an emergency stop than

could result in an accident.

braking may diminish so you may
need to depress the brake pedal
more strongly than normal to stop
the vehicle.

this case, park the vehicle in a safe
location and release the brake pedal.

Add-On Non-GenuineParts and Accessories
Non-genuine parts and accessories for
Mazda vehicles can be found in stores.
These may fit your vehicle, but they are
not approved by Mazda for use with
Mazda vehicles. When you install
non-genuine parts or accessories, they
could affect your vehicle's
performance or safe ty systems; the
Mazda warranty doesn't cover this.
Before you install any non-genuine
parts or accessories, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WARNING
Always consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer before you install non-genuine
parts or accessories.
Improperly designed parts or
accessories could seriously affect your
vehicle's performance or safety
systems. This could cause you to have
an accident or increase your chances of
injuries in an accident.
Be very careful in choosing and
installing add-on electrical
equipment, such as mobile
telephones, two-way radios, stereo
systems, and car alarm systems.
Incorrectly choosing or installing
improper add-on equipment or
choosing an improper installer is
dangerous. Essential systems could be
damaged, causing engine stalling ,
air-bag (SRS) activation,
ABS/TCS/DSC inactivation, or a fire in
the vehicle.
Mazda assumes no responsibility for
death, injury, or expenses that may
result from the installation of add-on
non-genuine parts or accessories.

Ve h i c l e L o a d i n g
This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle and/or trailer, to
keep your loaded vehicle weight within its design rating capability, with or without a
trailer. 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, with or without a trailer, 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 sa fety. Too much weight on a vehicle's
suspension system can cause spring or shoc k 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 ve hicle including a full tank of fuel and all
standard equipment. It does not include passengers, cargo, or optional
equipment.
Ve h i c l e C u r b We i g h t is the weight of your new vehicle when you picked it up from
your dealer plus any aftermarket equipment.
