qSafety Chains

Safety chains must be used as a precautionary measure should the trailer become

unintentionally unhitched. They should cross under the trailer tongue and attach to the

hitch. Leave enough slack to allow full turns. Consult literature published by your trailer or

hitch manufacturer for more details.

WARNING

Make sure the safety chain is securely attached to bot h the trailer and the vehicle

prior to departure:

Towing a trailer without using a safety chain securely attached to both the trailer

and the vehicle is dangerous. If damage occurs to the coupling unit or hitch ball, the

trailer could wander into another lane and cause a collision.

qTrailer Lights

Trailer lights must comply with all federal, state, and local regul ations. Equip your trailer

as required before towing it day or night.

CAUTION

Don't 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.

qTrailer Brakes

If the total trailer weight exceeds 450 kg (1,000 lb), trailer brakes are required. If your

trailer has brakes, make sure they comply with all federal, state, and local regulation s.

WARNING

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.

qTrailer Towing Tips

Verify that your Mazda maintains a near-normal attitude when a loaded or unloaded

trailer is connected. Don't drive if it has an abnormal front-up or front-down position.

Inspect for incorrect 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 government regulations. If they do not, install

required rear view mirrors appropriate for towing purposes.
