In Case of an Emergency

Form No. 8R09-EA-02G

Emergency Towing

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 
rear wheels off the ground. If excessive 
damage or other conditions prevent this, 
use wheel dollies.

Towing Description

Wheel dollies

Don’t tow the vehicle pointed forward 
with driving wheels on the ground. 
This may cause internal damage to the 
transmission.

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