Mazda Mazda6: 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.
Government and local laws must be followed.

When towing with the rear wheels on the ground, release the parking brake.
CAUTION:
