Towing Description

We recommend that towing be done only
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.

Proper lifting and towing are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
Particularly when towing a AWD vehicle,
where all the wheels are connected to the
drive train, proper transporting of the
vehicle is absolutely essential to avoid
damaging the drive system. Government
and local laws must be followed.

Wheel dollies

A towed 2WD vehicle should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) off the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies.

When towing a 2WD vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground, release the parking
brake.

A towed AWD vehicle must have all its
wheels off the ground.

CAUTION

Don't tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transaxle.

CAUTION

Don't tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.
