Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done only
by an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer or a
commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle.
Particularly when towing a 4WD vehicle,
where all the wheels are connected to the
drive train, proper transporting of the
vehicle is absolutely essential to avoid
damaging the drive system. Government
and local laws must be follow ed.
Wheel dollies
A towed 2WD vehicle should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) off the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel dollies.
When towing a 2WD vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground, release the parking
brake.
A towed 4WD vehicle must have all its
wheels off the ground.
WARNING
Always tow a 4WD vehicle with all
four wheels off the ground:
Towing a 4WD vehicle with either the
front or rear wheels on the ground is
dangerous as the drive train could be
damaged, or the vehicle could trail
away from the tow truck and cause an
accident. If the drive train has been
damaged, transport the vehicle on a
flat bed truck.
