Dealing With an Accident
In case of an accident, react calmly and
perform as follows.
1. Prevention of secondary accidentMove the vehicle to a safe place
(such as a shoulder or a vacant lot)
where it does not obstruct traffic,
and stop the engine.
2. Aiding injured person If there is any injured person,
provide any possible first aid until
an ambulance or a doctor arrives.
If someone has injured his or her
head, do not move the person

possibility of a secondary accident.

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.
Particularly when towing an 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.
WARNING
Always tow an AWD vehicle with all
four wheels off the ground.
Towing an 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
Do not tow the vehicle pointed
forkward 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.
If 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.

Using the Towing 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, thejack lever and the lug wrench or
equivalent from the luggage
compartment.
1. Lug wrench
2. Tiedown eyelet
3. Jack lever
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.

Rear
CAUTION
Do not use excessive force as it may
damage the cap or scratch the
painted bumper surface.
NOTE
Remove the cap completely and
store it so as not to lose it.
3. Securely install the tiedown eyelet
using the lug wrench, the jack lever
or equivalent.
