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.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-95.

CAUTION



Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward
with driving wheels on the ground. This
may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.



Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.
