Mazda 3 Service Manual: Towing
-
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 wheel (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.
CAUTION:
-
Do not tow with sling–type equipment. This could damage your vehicle. Use wheel–lift or flatbed equipment.
Vehicle Securing Position
-
When transporting the vehicle by flat bed tow truck or trailer, secure the vehicle to the trailer using the holes and left tiedown loop shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
-
To prevent damage to the vehicle, do not use the tiedown eyelet (front) and the left/right tiedown loops (rear) for towing the vehicle using another vehicle.
-
Do not use the tie-down eyelet and rear hook for tying down the vehicle onto a trailer and flatbed tow truck. It may cause damage to the vehicle.
NOTE:
-
The tiedown eyelet (front) and the tiedown loops (rear) are used only when the vehicle is transported by ship.
