Mazda CX-5 2018 Owner's Manual page 148

Always keep tow loads within specified limits as indicated in the Trailer Towing-Load Table:
Attempting to tow loads greater than those specified is dangerous as it may cause serious
handling and performance problems that could result in personal injury or vehicle damage,
or both.
Always keep the trailer nose weight within the specified limits in the Trailer Towing-Load
Table:
Loading the trailer with more weight in the rear than in the front is dangerous. This could
cause loss of vehicle control and an accident.
NOTE
The total trailer weight and nose weight can be determined by weighing the trailer on
•
platform scales at a highway weighing station or a trucking company.
Appropriate total trailer weight and nose weight may prevent the danger of trailer sway
•
from crosswinds, rough roads, or other causes.
