2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV towing

To w i n g D e s c r i p t i o n
▼Towing Description
If your vehicle stops operating and
needs to be 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 vehicle usually should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) o
ff the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.
1. Wheel dollies

When towing with the rear wheels on
the ground, release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-52.
CAUTION
 Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the vehicle.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed
equipment.
 If the parking brake cannot be
released when towing the vehicle,
transport the vehicle with all front
and rear wheels raised o ff the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels o ff the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.

When towing a vehicle, transport it
with both front wheels raised o ff the
ground or with all front and rear
wheels raised o ff the ground.
If the vehicle is towed with the front
wheels grounded, the EV system may
be damaged.
This vehicle cannot be used to tow
other vehicles.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground
using the tiedown hook at the front of
the vehicle.
If the vehicle has to be towed by rope
to move it such as in an emergency,
tow the vehicle in as short a distance
as possible such as to the transport
vehicle or to get unstuck. Otherwise,
the EV transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
 Shift to the N position.
 Start the EV system.
 Release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
on page 4-52.
In the following cases, do not tow the
vehicle with rope. Otherwise, the EV
transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
 The EV system does not start.
 The shift control system warning
indication/warning light displays/
turns on.
Do not stop the EV system while the
vehicle is being towed. Otherwise, the
parking lock may engage which could
lead to an accident.
Tiedown Hooks*
▼ Tiedown Hooks
CAUTION
Do not use the front and rear tiedown
eyelets for towing the vehicle.
They have been designed only for
securing the vehicle to a transport
vessel during shipping.
Using the eyelets for any other purpose
could result in the vehicle being
damaged.
1. Remove the tiedown eyelet and the
lug wrench from the luggage
compartment (page 7-3).
2. Wrap a flathead screwdriver or
similar tool with a soft cloth to
prevent damage to a painted
bumper, and open the cap located

WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle:
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is
dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and doing so
will
aff ect the drive system which could
result in vehicle damage.
This section will guide you in the
proper loading of your vehicle, to keep
your loaded vehicle weight within its
design rating capability. Properly
loading your vehicle will provide
maximum return of vehicle design
performance. Before loading your
vehicle, familiarize yourself with the
following terms for determining your
vehicle's weight ratings, from the
vehicle's Safety Certi fication Label and
Tire and Load Information Label:
WARNING
Overloaded Vehicle:
Overloading a vehi cle is dangerous.
The results of overloading can have
serious consequences in terms of
passenger safety. Too much weight on
a vehicle's suspension system can
cause spring or shock absorber failure,
brake failure, handling or steering
problems, irregular tire wear, tire
failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to
drive and control. It also increases the
distance required for stopping. In cases
of serious overloading , brakes can fail
completely, particularly on steep
grades. The load a tire will carry safely
is a combination of the size of the tire,
its load range, and corresponding
in flation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always
observe the vehicle's weight ratings
from the vehicle's Safety Certi fication
and Tire and Load Information labels.
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the
vehicle including all standard
equipment. It does not include
passengers, cargo, or optional
equipment.

Vehicle Curb Weight is the weight of
your new vehicle when you picked it
up from your dealer plus any
aftermarket equipment.

PAY LOA D
Pay l o a d is the combination weight of
cargo and passengers that the vehicle
is designed to carry. The maximum
payload for your vehicle can be found
on the Tire and Load Information label
on the rear door on the driver's side or
door pillar. Look for “THE
COMBINATION WEIGHT OF
OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX kg or XXX lbs” for
your maximum payload. The payload
listed on the tire label is the maximum
payload for the vehicle as built by the
assembly plant. If any aftermarket or
dealer installed equipment has been
installed on the vehicle, the weight of
the equipment must be subtracted

Steps for Determining the Correct Load Limit
▼Steps for Determining the Correct Load Limit
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit-
(1) Locate the statement “The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the dr iver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX
lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load
capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be
five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and
luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 － 750 (5 × 150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the
vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to
your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
