Trailer Towing (U.S.A. and Canada)
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 fuel economy.
Never overload your vehicle or trailer. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer if you need further details.
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.

When towing, use of gasoline with a octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended.

Your vehicle is equipped with a Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) towing mode (Some Models) which enhances vehicle stability when towing a trailer.
Refer to Mazda intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) (AWD) (Search).
