Towing Caravans and
Trailers (Europe/Russia/
Turkey/Israel/South
Africa)
▼ 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 expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) if you need further details.
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.
Damage caused by towing a trailer/
caravan in Turkey is not covered by
the vehicle's warranty.
(SKYACTIV-G 1.5 (European
model))
Trailers and caravans cannot be
towed by vehicles with the i-stop
function.
