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.
When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake.
CAUTION:
Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transaxle.
CAUTION:
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
CAUTION:
Do not use the hooks under the rear
bumper for towing and tying down,
as they cannot hold the load and it
will damage the bumper.
