Towing Description
▼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 AWD
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 followed.
1. Wheel dollies

A towed FWD 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 FWD vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground, release the
parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-70.

A towed AWD vehicle must have all its
wheels
off the ground.
WARNING
Always tow a AWD vehicle with all
four wheels
off the ground:
Towing a AWD 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
flatbed truck.
CAUTION
¾Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
¾Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.

¾If the parking brake cannot be
released when towing the vehicle,
transport the vehicle with all front
and rear wheels raised off the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels
off the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.
1. Wheel dollies
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.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
1. Shift to neutral (Manual
transmission), or the N position
(Automatic transmission).
2. Switch the ignition to ON.
3. Release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
on page 4-70.
Remember that power assist for the
brakes and steering will not be
available when the engine is not
running.
Towing Hooks
▼Towing Hooks
CAUTION
¾The towing eyelet should be used in
an emergency (to get the vehicle out
of a ditch or a snow bank, for
example).
¾When using the towing eyelets,
always pull the lead or chain in a
straight direction with respect to the
eyelet. Never apply a sideways force.
NOTE
When towing with chain or lead, wrap
the chain or lead with a soft cloth near
the bumper to prevent damage to the
bumper.
1. Remove the towing eyelet, wheel
brace, and the jack lever or
equivalent from the luggage
compartment (page 7-24).
2. Wrap a flathead screwdriver or jack
lever or a similar tool with a soft
cloth to prevent damage to a
painted bumper, and open the cap
located on the front or rear
bumper.

bumper.
¾Be careful not to damage the
towing eyelet and towing hook,
vehicle body, or transmission
system when towing under the
following conditions:
¾Do not tow a vehicle heavier
than yours.
