Towing A Awd Vehicle; Towing/Tiedown Hooks - Mazda CX-7 2007 Workshop Manual

Towing a AWD Vehicle

Warning
• Towing a AWD vehicle with either the
front or rear wheels on the ground is
dangerous as the drive train could be
damaged, or the vehicle could trail away
from the tow truck and cause an
accident. Always tow a AWD vehicle with
all four wheels off the ground. If the drive
train has been damaged, transport the
vehicle on a flat bed truck.

Towing/Tiedown Hooks

Caution
• Don't use the tiedown hooks under the front and rear for towing. They are designed ONLY for tying
down the vehicle when it's being transported. Using them for towing will damage the bumper.
Tiedown Hooks
1. Remove the tiedown eyelet, lug wrench, and jack lever from the trunk.
2. Wrap a screwdriver or similar tool with a soft cloth
to prevent damage to the bumper and open the
cap located on the front and rear bumper.
Caution
• The cap cannot be completely removed.
Do not use excessive force as it may
damage the cap or scratch the painted
bumper surface.
3. Securely install the tiedown eyelet using the
wheel brace.
