t Safety chains
Safety chains must be used as a precau-
tionary measure in case the trailer
becomes unintentionally unhitched.
They should cross under the trailer
tongue
and attach
to the vehicle frame or
hook retainers. Leave enough slack to
allow full turns. Consult literature pub-
lished by your trailer or hitch manufac-
turer for more details.
CAUTION
Never attach chains to the bumper.
t Fuel consumption
Trailer towing causes higher fuel con-
sumption.
t Suspension Modifications
The
suspension and steering systems on
your vehicle have been designed and
tested to provide predictable perfor-
mance (whether loaded or empty) as
well
as durable load carrying capability
.
Any modifications to the suspension
or steering systems can reduce your
vehicle’s performance capability and
adversely affect driver and passenger
safety.
Mazda recommends that you DO NOT
make modifications such as adding or
removing parts (like lowering or lifting
kits, stabilizer bars or snowplowing
equipment)
