If Trouble Occurs

Towing overview

~1min read

We recommend contacting an authorized Mazda dealer or a professional towing service when towing is necessary.

A proper lifting and towing method is required to avoid damaging the vehicle. All government and local laws must be observed.

A vehicle should generally be towed with the driving wheels (front wheels) raised off the ground. If this is not possible due to excessive damage or other conditions, use dollies.
