Towing Description  
Towing Description  
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.  
CAUTION  
Do not tow the vehicle pointed  
backward with driving wheels on the  
ground. This may cause internal  
damage to the transmission.

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.  
Do not tow with sling-type  
equipment. This could damage your  
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or flatbed  
equipment.  
When towing a FWD vehicle with the  
rear wheels on the ground, release the  
parking brake.  
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on  
page 4-60.
