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.
Government and local laws must be
followed.

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

Wheel dollies

When towing with the rear wheels on the
ground, release the parking brake.

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.

If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground using
the towing hook at the front of the
vehicle.
Only tow the vehicle on paved surfaces
for short distances at low speeds.
