If Trouble Arises
Flat Tire
16. Remove the air compressor hose from
the injection valve of the bottle. After
that, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.
CAUTION
The remaining sealant in the hose may
spray out when the hose is removed.
Remove the hose carefully because you
may not be able to remove the sealant
contacting clothing or other objects.
17. Install the tire valve cap.
18. Put the emergency flat tire repair kit
into the trunk.
19. Start driving immediately to spread the
sealant in the tire.
CAUTION
Carefully drive the vehicle at a speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) or less. If the vehicle
is driven at a speed of 80 km/h (50
mph) or more, the vehicle may vibrate.
NOTE
(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
If the tire is not properly inflated, the tire
pressure monitoring system warning light
will illuminate (page 4-16).
20. After driving the vehicle for about 10
minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect the
air compressor to the tire using Step
9 of the procedure, and check the tire
inflation pressure using the tire pressure
gauge on the air compressor. If the
tire inflation pressure is lower than the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn
the air compressor on and wait until
it reaches the specified tire inflation
pressure.
WARNING
If the tire inflation pressure has
decreased below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or
bar, 18.9 psi), stop driving and contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer:
The repair using the emergency flat tire
repair kit was not successful.
If you see a decrease in the tire inflation
pressure, even if Steps 9 to 20 of the
procedure are performed repeatedly,
stop driving:
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
Before checking the tire inflation
pressure using the tire pressure gauge,
turn the air compressor switch off.
21. The emergency flat tire repair is
completed successfully if the tire
inflation pressure does not decrease.
Carefully drive the vehicle to the
nearest Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately and have the flat tire
replaced. Replacement with a new
tire is recommended. If the tire is
to be repaired or reused, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

If Trouble Arises
Overheating
Overheating
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates, the vehicle loses
power, or you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine is probably too
hot.
WARNING
Switch the ignition to off and make
sure the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it
is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if
the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot
out under pressure and cause serious
injury.
Open the hood ONLY after steam is no
longer escaping from the engine:
Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transmission in park (P), a manual
transmission in neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is
escaping from the engine compartment.

If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then
open the hood and start the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine until
it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and call an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating,
then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.
7. When cool, check the coolant level.
If it is low, look for coolant leaks from
the radiator and hoses.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Tire Information (U.S.A.)
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used on the road. It is recommended
that tires generally be replaced when they are 6 years or older. Heat caused by hot climates
or frequent high loading conditions can accelerate the aging process. The period in which
the tire was manufactured (both week and year) is indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-24.
Safety Practices
The way you drive has a great deal to do with your tire mileage and safe\
ty. So cultivate good
driving habits for your own benefit.
 Observe posted speed limits and drive at speeds that are safe for the ex\
isting weather
conditions Avoid fast starts, stops and turns Avoid potholes and objects on the road Do not run over curbs or hit the tire against the curb when parking
CAUTION
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride disturbance while driving or you suspect your tire
or vehicle has been damaged, immediately reduce your speed. Drive with caution until
you can safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the tire for damage. If the tire is under-
inflated or damaged, deflate it, remove the tire and rim and replace it with your spare tire.
If you cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to
have the vehicle inspected.
