2014 MAZDA MODEL 6 run flat

Black plate (471,1)
WARNING
Attach the speed restriction sticker in a
place where it can be viewed easily by
the driver:
ØApplying the speed restriction
sticker to the steering wheel is
dangerous as it could interfere
with the air bag deployment and
result in serious injury.
ØDo not apply the sticker to any
position other than the position
indicated in the illustration of the
speedometer.
10. Switch the ignition ON (engine
running).
11. Turn the compressor on and wait until
the sealant is injected into the tire.
After the sealant is injected into the
tire, continue waiting until the tire is
inflated to the correct air pressure.
NOTE
lCheck the tire inflation pressure label
(driver's door frame) for the correct tire
inflation pressure.
lIf the tire air pressure is not correct after a
few seconds, the tire may be seriously
damaged. Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
12. When the tire has been inflated to the
proper inflation pressure, turn the
compressor switch off and remove the
hose from the tire valve.
13. Install the tire valve cap.
14. Store the hose, removed from the
valve, in the trunk and resume driving
the vehicle.
CAUTION
ØDrive carefully to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer and keep the
vehicle speed below 80 km/h (50
mph).
ØIf the vehicle is driven over 80
km/h (50 mph), the vehicle might
begin to vibrate.
NOTE
lIf the tire is not properly inflated, the tire
pressure monitoring system warning light
will illuminate (page 4-23).
lDo not press the tire pressure monitoring
system set switch after installing the spare
tire or after using the emergency flat tire
repair kit. The switch is only to be pressed
after installing the repaired flat tire or
installing a replacement tire (page 4-23).
15. After driving the vehicle 5 km, set up
the compressor again using Step 8 of
the procedure. Turn the compressor
on and then off after a few seconds,
and check the tire air pressure. If the
tire air pressure is low, turn the
compressor on again and wait until
the tire inflates to the correct air
pressure.
CAUTION
ØIf the tire inflation pressure falls
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2or bar,
18.9 psi), repair cannot be done
with the repair kit. Park the
vehicle on a level surface off the
right-of-way and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
ØIf the tire inflation pressure
continues to remain low, park the
vehicle on a level surface off the
right-of-way and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

4. Turn the lug wrench counterclockwise
and lower the vehicle. Use the lug
wrench to tighten the nuts in the order
shown.
If you are unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Nut tightening torque
N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf)108―147
(12―14, 80―108)
WARNING
Always securely and correctly tighten
the lug nuts:
Improperly or loosely tightened lug
nuts are dangerous. The wheel could
wobble or come off. This could result
in loss of vehicle control and cause a
serious accident.
Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you
removed or replace them with metric
nuts of the same configuration:
Because the wheel studs and lug nuts
on your Mazda have metric threads,
using a non-metric nut is dangerous.
On a metric stud, it would not secure
the wheel and would damage the
stud, which could cause the wheel to
slip off and cause an accident.
5. Open the trunk mat.6. Remove the belt for securing the flat
tire.
7. Put the flat tire into the trunk on the left
and toward the back.
8. Fold the seat back forward on the right
side of the rear seat.
9. Thread the belt through the rear seat as
shown in the figure.
