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

CAUTION:
Do not tow the vehicle pointed
forward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transmission.

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