Mazda 2: 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.
Government and local laws must be
followed.
A towed vehicle usually should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) off the ground.
If excessive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.

When towing with the rear wheels on the
ground, release the parking brake.
CAUTION
- Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on
the ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transaxle.

- Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or fl atbed
equipment.

If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed with
all four wheels on the ground using the
towing hook at the front of the vehicle.
Only tow the vehicle on paved surfaces for
short distances at low speeds.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
- Shift to neutral (Manual transaxle),
or the N position (Automatic
transaxle).
- Switch the ignition to ACC.
- Release the parking brake.
Remember that power assist for the
brakes and steering will not be available
when the engine is not running.
