If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
Towing Description
CAUTION
We recommend that towing be done only
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward
with driving wheels on the ground. This
may cause internal damage to the
transmission.
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.
Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or ꢀatbed equipment.
Wheel dollies
When towing with the rear wheels on the
ground, release the parking brake.
