Towing Caravans and Trailers

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 Authorised Mazda Dealer if you need further details.

 


  • Towing a trailer during the first 1,000 km (600 miles) of your new Mazda is not recommended. If you do, you may damage the power train components.

 


  • 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):

    • Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)

    • Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

    • Smart Brake Support [Rear] (SBS-R)

    • Smart Brake Support [Rear Crossing] (SBS-RC)

    • Parking Sensor System (Rear)
