During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)
spare tire in rotation.Forward
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
lIncorrect tire pressurelImproper wheel alignmentlOut-of-balance wheellSevere braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9-8) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operates normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-150.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to
rear, not from side to side. Tire
performance will be reduced if
rotated from side to side.
qReplacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
Replace all four tires at the same time:
Replacing just one tire is dangerous.
It could cause poor handling and
poor braking resulting in loss of
vehicle control. Mazda strongly
recommends that you replace all four
tires at the same time.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
New treadTread wear indicator
Worn tread
You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operates normally.

Mazda Dealer when the replacement is
necessary.

Changing a Flat Tire
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it could
indicate a flat tire.
lSteering becomes difficult.lThe vehicle begins to vibrate excessively.lThe vehicle pulls in one direction.
If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire:
Changing a tire is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure
someone.
No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:
Allowing someone to remain in a
vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause
the vehicle to fall resulting in serious
injury.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated before
using it.
1. Park on a level surface off the right-of-
way and firmly set the parking brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle in Park (P), a manual
transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn
off the engine.

CAUTION
If the automatic transaxle warning
light/warning indication illuminates,
the transaxle has an electrical
problem. Continuing to drive your
Mazda in this condition could cause
damage to your transaxle. Consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon
as possible.
qIf the power steering malfunction
warning indication/indicator light
is indicated
Type A/Type B
The power steering malfunction indicator
light/warning indication illuminates or
flashes if there is a malfunction with the
power steering while the engine is
running.
If the indicator light/warning indication
illuminates or flashes, park the vehicle in
a safe place immediately and stop the
engine.
If the indicator light/warning indication
does not turn off even if the engine is
restarted afterwards, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.NOTE
lIf the indicator light/warning indication
illuminates or flashes, the power steering
will not operate normally. If this happens,
the steering wheel can still be operated,
however, the operation may feel heavy
compared to normal, and the steering
wheel could vibrate when turning.
lRepeatedly jerking the steering wheel left
and right while the vehicle is stopped or
moving extremely slowly will cause the
power steering system to go into protective
mode which will make the steering feel
heavy, but this does not indicate a problem.
If this occurs, park the vehicle safely and
wait several minutes for the system to
return to normal.
qIf the air bag/front seat belt
pretensioner system warning light
illuminates or flashes
A system malfunction is indicated if the
warning light constantly flashes,
constantly illuminates or does not
illuminate at all when the ignition is
switched ON. If any of these occur,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as
soon as possible. The system may not
operate in an accident.

qMazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) System Warningsí
The Mazda Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) system warnings notify the
driver of system malfunctions and
cautions on use when required.
Check based on the beep sound.
Cautions What to check
The beep sounds 1 time
while the Mazda Radar
Cruise Control (MRCC)
is operatingThe vehicle speed is
slower than 25 km/h
(16 mph) and the Mazda
Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) system has been
canceled.
The beep continues to
sound while the vehicle
is being driven.The distance between
your vehicle and the
vehicle ahead is too
close. Verify the safety of
the surrounding area and
reduce vehicle speed.
When the Mazda Radar
Cruise Control (MRCC)
is operating, the beep
sounds and the Mazda
Radar Cruise Control
(MRCC) warning light
(amber) in the instrument
cluster turns on.A malfunction in the
system may be indicated.
Have your vehicle
inspected at an
Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
qCollision warningí
If there is the possibility of a collision
with a vehicle ahead, the beep sounds
continuously and a warning is indicated in
the display.
qPower Steering Warning Buzzer
If the power steering system has a
malfunction, the power steering
malfunction light turns on or flashes and
the buzzer operates at the same time.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page
4-20.
qElectric Parking Brake Warning

CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires that have an asymmetrical tread pattern
or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tire performance will be
weakened if rotated from side to side.
(With limited-slip differential)
Don't use the following:
ØTires not of the designated size
ØTires of different sizes or types at the same time
ØTires not sufficiently inflated
If these instructions aren't followed, the rotation of the left and right wheels will be
different and will thus apply a constant load on the limited-slip differential.
This will cause a malfunction.
qReplacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous. Reduced braking, steering, and traction could
result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
