*Some models.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tyres and radial
tyres that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tyre performance
will be reduced if rotated from side to
side.
Replacing a Tyre
WARNING
Always use tyres that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tyres is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.

Replace all four tyres at the same time:
Replacing just one tyre is dangerous.
It could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tyres at the
same time. If a tyre wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tyre when this happens.

Worn tread

You should replace the tyre before the
band crosses the entire tread.
(With tyre pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tyre pressure,
initialization of the tyre pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-192 .
Temporary Spare Tyre *
Inspect the temporary spare tyre at least
monthly to make sure it is properly
inÀ ated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tyre condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tyre is easier to
handle because of its construction which
is lighter and smaller than a conventional
tyre. This tyre should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.

Maintenance and Care

*Some models.
Use the temporary spare tyre only until
the conventional tyre is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.

Refer to Tyre on page 9-10 .
CAUTION
  Do not use your temporary spare
tyre rim with a snow tyre or a
conventional tyre. Neither will
properly ¿ t and could damage both
tyre and rim.
  The temporary spare tyre has a tread
life of less than 5,000 km (3,000
miles). The tread life may be shorter
depending on driving conditions.
  The temporary spare tyre is for
limited use, however, if the tread
wear solid-band indicator appears,
replace the tyre with the same type of
temporary spare (page 6-46 ).
Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
Always use wheels of the correct size
on your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling
could be affected, leading to loss of
control and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
affect:
 
 Tyre ¿ t 
 Wheel and bearing life 
 Ground clearance 
 Snow-chain clearance 
 Speedometer calibration 
 Headlight aim 
 Bumper height 
 Tyre Pressure Monitoring System *
NOTE

 When replacing a wheel, make
sure the new one is the same as the
original factory wheel in diameter,
rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
  For details, contact an expert
repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Proper tyre balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tyres can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and À at spots.

WARNING
Never touch the glass portion of a
halogen bulb with your bare hands
and always wear eye protection when
handling or working around the bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurised gas. If one is broken, it will
explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the À ying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with bare
hands, body oil could cause the bulb to
overheat and explode when lit.

Always keep halogen bulbs out of the
reach of children:
Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or
breaking it some other way.
CAUTION
When removing the lens or lamp unit
using a À athead screwdriver, make
sure that the À athead screwdriver does
not contact the interior terminal. If
the À athead screwdriver contacts the
terminal, a short circuit may occur.
NOTE
  To replace the bulb, contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  If the halogen bulb is accidentally
touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
  Use the protective cover and carton
for the replacement bulb to dispose
of the old bulb promptly and out of
the reach of children.
