Having the Vehicle Towed
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 RWD vehicle should have its
drive wheels (rear wheels)
off
the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.
1. Wheel dollies
When towing a RWD vehicle with the
front wheels on the ground, release the
parking brake.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle pointed
forward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
