Flat Tire
Either run-flat tires or conventional tires
are equipped on your Mazda depending
on the specification, therefore the
procedure for repairing a flat tire differs
depending on the type of tire. Before
driving, make sure which type of tire is
equipped on your Mazda. If you cannot
identify your tire type, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
qHow to identify your tire type
Run-flat tire
A run-flat tire has a“RFT”mark on the
side wall.
Conventional tire
A conventional tire does not have a
“RFT”mark on the side wall.
qVehicle with run-flat tires
WARNING
Vehicle Handling When Flat Tire
Warning Light Illuminates:
When the flat tire warning light
illuminates or the tire pressure
warning beep sound is heard, it is
dangerous to drive the vehicle at high
speeds, or perform sudden
maneuvering or braking. Vehicle
drivability could worsen and result in
an accident.
When the flat tire warning light
illuminates or the tire pressure
warning beep sound is heard, decrease
vehicle speed immediately and avoid
sudden maneuvering and braking.
Have the tires checked or perform the
appropriate repair as soon as possible
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If a run-flat tire is punctured, the FLAT
TIRE warning light illuminates in the
instrument cluster, and a beep sound is
heard for about 30 seconds.
NOTE
Until the flat tire is changed, the beep
sound is heard for about 30 seconds
every time the ignition switch is turned
to the ON position.
