Notes:
– For high altitude operation, reduce GCW by 2% per 1000 ft (300 m)
elevation.
– Your vehicle is capable of pulling the maximum trailer weight(s) as
specified above; the combined weight of the completed towing vehicle
and the loaded trailer must not exceed the GCWR.
– Maximum trailer frontal area should not exceed 24 ft
2
(2.2 m
2
) if
vehicle is equipped with a 2.5L engine; 30 ft
2
(2.8 m
2
) if equipped with
a 3.0L engine.
– Certain states require electric trailer brakes for trailers over a
specified weight. Be sure to check state regulations for this specified
weight. The maximum trailer weights listed above may be limited to
this specified weight, as the vehicle’s electrical system does not include
the wiring connector needed to activate electric trailer brakes.
WARNING:
Do not exceed the GVWR or the GAWR specified on
the certification label.
Towing trailers beyond the maximum recommended gross trailer weight
exceeds the limit of the vehicle and could result in:
•
engine damage
•
loss of control
•
transmission damage
•
personal injury
•
structural damage
Preparing to tow
Use the proper equipment for towing a trailer and make sure it is
properly attached to your vehicle. See your authorized Mazda dealer.
