and conditions.
Depending on the mobile device
case or accessories used, the mobile
device may not charge, or the
charging efficiency may be reduced
resulting in a longer charging time. If
charging does not start even when a
mobile device is placed on the
charging area, remove the case or
accessory.
Depending on the vehicle condition,
charge amount may be temporarily
restricted and charging may be
canceled, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
If the mobile device temperature
rises during charging, charging may
stop due to the protection function
of the device. If that happens, wait
until the mobile device cools down
sufficiently and then recharge it.

Warnings and CautionsWhen Using the Assist Grips
WARNING
Never hang heavy or sharp objects on
the assist grips and coat hooks.
Hanging heavy or sharp-ended objects
such as a coat hanger from the assist
grips or coat hooks is dangerous as
they can fly off and hit an occupant in
the cabin if a curtain air bag was to
deploy, which could result in serious
injury or death.
Do not use the assist grips when
getting in and out of the vehicle or
getting out of a seat.
An assist grip could break under a
heavy load resulting in injury.
How to Use the Assist
Grips
Use the assist grips to support your
body while seated in the vehicle and
while the vehicle is moving.

To w i n g
Your Mazda was designed and built
primarily to carry passengers and
cargo.
If you tow a trailer, follow these
instructions because driver and
passenger safety depends on proper
equipment and safe driving habits.
Towing a trailer will affect handling,
braking , durability, performance, and
economy.
Never overload vehicle or trailer.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer if
you need further details.
NOTE
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Trailer Stability Control (TSC)
mechanism, which enhances vehicle
stability when towing a trailer.
Refer to Trailer Stability Control
(TSC) on page 5-90.
When towing a trailer, do not use the
following safety systems (If a Mazda
genuine trailer hitch is used, these
systems are automatically turned off
when the trailer's electrical
connector is connected):
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)Smart Brake Support (SBS) reverse
drive detection
Parking Sensor System (Rear)Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
Blind Spot Assist
Emergency Lane Keeping (ELK)
Head-on traffic avoidance assist
Turn off the aforementioned safety
systems when towing a trailer
without a genuine Mazda trailer
hitch.
Your vehicle is equipped with a
Mazda intelligent Drive Select
(Mi-Drive) towing mode which
enhances vehicle stability when
towing a trailer.
Refer to Mazda intelligent Drive
Select (Mi-Drive) on page 5-96.

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.
Always use lower gears to reduce
speed:
Holding the brake pedal down too
long or too frequently is dangerous as
it could cause the brakes to overheat
and lose power, resulting in loss of
control and a serious accident. Use
lower gears to help reduce speed. Pull
off the road and allow brakes to cool
down whenever braking performance
feels reduced.
CAUTION
Do not tow a trailer during the first
1,000 km (600 miles) of your new
Mazda. If you do, you may damage
the engine, transmission, differential,
wheel bearings, and other
power-train components.
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 maximum
GCWR heading in the trailer
towing-load table. If the determined
maximum total towing load weight is
exceeded, the engine and other
power-train parts may be damaged.
The total trailer weight and tongue
load can be determined by weighing
the trailer on platform scales at a
highway weight station or a trucking
company.
Make all hitch adjustments with
actual loads. Do not load and
unload vehicle while adjusting hitch.
This action will change the vehicle
height.
Do not use an axle-mounted hitch.
This may damage the axle and
related parts.
If the vehicle exceeds 100 km/h (62
mph) with a trailer in tow, the
vehicle could be damaged.
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. Have a recreational
vehicle dealer or trailer rental agency
connect the system, and inspect the
brake lights and turn signals yourself
before each trip.

How to Use the Towing
NOTE
The three main causes of vehicle-trailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed,
and improper trailer loading.
Trailer towing causes higher fuel consumption.The extra weight of the trailer may strain the engine on hot days and on long or
steep upgrades. If the temperature gauge indicates overheating, turn off the air
conditioner, drive safely to the side of the road, park off the right-of-way and wait
for engine to cool.
Verify 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 incorrec t tongue load, worn suspension parts,
and trailer overloading.
Make sure the trailer is properly loaded and the cargo is secure to prevent it from
shifting.
Make sure the mirrors conform to all govern ment regulations. If they do not, install
required rear view mirrors appropriate for towing purposes.

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.

the operation from the beginning.
If it still does not turn on, have
the vehicle inspected by an

position can no longer be
changed. Therefore, to start the
hybrid system, perform the
operation from the beginning.
