6. Shake the sealant bottle to mix the
contents. Then extend the injection
hose.
Injection hose
CAUTION
Do not shake the bottle excessively.
Otherwise, the sealant could spray out
of the injection hose, and if the sealant
contacts clothing or other objects, you
may not be able to remove it.
NOTE
The sealant hardens easily and injecting
it will be diffi cult under cold weather
conditions (0 °C (32 °F) or below).
Warm the sealant inside the vehicle to
facilitate injection. 7. Pull out the compressor hose and
the compressor plug from the air
compressor.

8. Install the compressor hose which was
pulled out of the air compressor to the
injection valve of the bottle.

CAUTION
When inserting the air compressor
plug into or removing it from the
accessory socket, make sure that the air
compressor switch is OFF. When turning
the air compressor ON/OFF, use the air
compressor switch.
12. The sealant is injected into the tyre
when the air compressor is switched
ON. After the sealant is injected
completely, wait until the tyre infl ation
pressure increases to the specifi ed tyre
infl ation pressure.
NOTE
The infl ation pressure may increase
to about 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 3 bar,
43.5 psi) temporarily to inject the
sealant through the valve. Normally, the
infl ation pressure decreases gradually
and it reaches the actual infl ation
pressure after about 30 seconds.

WARNING
Always securely and correctly tighten
the wheel nuts:
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel
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 confi guration:
Because the wheel studs and wheel
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. Remove the tyre blocks and store the
tools and jack.
6. Store the damaged tyre in the luggage
compartment.
7. Check the infl ation pressure. Refer to
Tyres on page 9-13 .
8. Have the fl at tyre repaired or replaced
as soon as possible.
NOTE
Do not press the tyre pressure
monitoring system set switch after
installing the spare tyre. The switch
is only to be pressed after installing
the repaired fl at tyre or installing a
replacement tyre (page 4-40 ).
WARNING
Do not drive with any tyres that have
incorrect air pressure:
Driving on tyres with incorrect air
pressure is dangerous. Tyres with
incorrect pressure could affect
handling and result in an accident.
When you check the regular tyres' air
pressure, check the spare tyre, too.
NOTE
To prevent the jack and tool from
rattling, store them properly.

sequence as in the illustration.
 

 
 Connect one end of a lead to the
positive terminal on the discharged
battery (1).
 

 
 Attach the other end to the positive
terminal on the booster battery (2).
 

 
 Connect one end of the other lead to
the negative terminal of the booster
battery (3).
 

 
 Connect the other end to the ground
point indicated in the illustration away
from the discharged battery (4).
5. Start the engine of the booster vehicle
and run it a few minutes. Then start the
engine of the other vehicle. 6. (With i-ELOOP system)

i-ELOOP indicator light fl ashing, a
beep sound is heard.
  If the steering wheel is operated with
the i-ELOOP indicator light fl ashing,
it may feel heavier than normal,
however, this does not indicate a
malfunction. The steering operation
will return to normal when the
i-ELOOP indicator light turns off.
  Do not remove the jumper leads
while the i-ELOOP indicator light is
fl ashing.
