In Case of an Emergency
Form No. 8R09-EA-02G
Emergency Towing
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
rear wheels off the ground. If excessive
damage or other conditions prevent this,
use wheel dollies.
Towing Description
Wheel dollies
Dont tow the vehicle pointed forward
with driving wheels on the ground.
This may cause internal damage to the
transmission.
Dont tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.
