Emergency Towing

              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. 
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.

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 transmission. 

 

  Do not tow with sling-type 

equipment. This could damage your 
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or 

À atbed 

equipment.

  If towing service is not available in an 
emergency, the vehicle may be towed with 
all four wheels on the ground using the 
towing hook at the front of the vehicle.
  Only tow the vehicle on paved surfaces for 
short distances at low speeds.

straight direction with respect to the 
eyelet. Never apply a sideways force.
