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.
If Trouble Arises
Emergency Towing
7-46
Page 564 of 683

When starting the engine, the brake
system warning light may turn on and
the warning indication may be
displayed. In this case, park the
vehicle in a safe location and release
the brake pedal.
If the brake system warning light/
warning indication does not turn off
even after parking the vehicle, have
the vehicle inspected by an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
▼Electronic Brake Force Distribution
System Warning
If the electronic brake force
distribution control unit determines
that some components are operating
incorrectly, the control unit may
illuminate the brake system warning
light and the ABS warning light
simultaneously. The problem is likely to
be the electronic brake force
distribution system.
WARNING
Do not drive with both the brake
system warning light and ABS warning
light illuminated. Have the vehicle
towed to an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer) to have the brakes inspected
as soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning
light and ABS warning light are
illuminated simultaneously is
dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the
rear wheels could lock more quickly in
an emergency stop than under normal
circumstances.
▼Charging System Warning
Indication/Warning Light
If the warning light illuminates while
driving , it indicates a malfunction of
the alternator or of the charging
system.
Drive to the side of the road and park
off the right-of-way. Consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
CAUTION
Do not continue driving when the
charging system warning light is
illuminated because the engine could
stop unexpectedly.
▼Engine Oil Warning Indication/
Warning Light
This warning light indicates low engine
oil pressure.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil
pressure is low. Otherwise, it could
result in extensive engine damage.
If the light illuminates or the warning
indication is displayed while driving:
