a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
3. Before retracting seat belts which have
been pulled out for cleaning, dry them
off thoroughly and make sure there is
no remaining moisture on them.

WARNING
If a seat belt appears frayed or has
abrasions, have it replaced by an
Authorised Mazda Repairer:
If a seat belts is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its full
capacity which could result in serious
injury or death.

Use a mild detergent to remove soiling
from a seat belt:

cleaning the seat belts or they become
stained or bleached, there is the
possibility of them becoming weakened
and as a result, they may not function
at their full capacity which could cause
serious injury or death.
NOTE
Clean seat belts diligently if they get
dirty. Leaving them uncleaned will make
it dif¿ cult to clean them later, and it may
affect the smooth retracting of the seat
belt.

Parking in an Emergency
*Some models.
Parking in an Emergency
The hazard warning lights should always
be used when you stop on or near a
roadway in an emergency.



The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traf¿ c hazard
and that they must take extreme caution
when near it.



Depress the hazard warning À asher and
all the direction indicators will À ash. The
hazard warning indicator lights in the
instrument cluster À ash simultaneously.
NOTE

 The direction indicators do not work
when the hazard warning lights are
on.
  Check local regulations about the use
of hazard warning lights while the
vehicle is being towed to verify that
it is not in violation of the law.

Maintenance
 




 Always keep the jack clean.



 Make sure the moving parts are kept
free from dirt or rust.
 


 Make sure the screw thread is
adequately lubricated.

Spare Tyre *
Your Mazda has a temporary spare tyre.
The temporary spare tyre is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tyre, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tyres should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.
WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare tyre
on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tyre
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound roads,
and have an accident. Move a regular
tyre to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tyre to the rear.
CAUTION
  When using the temporary spare
tyre, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tyre. Drive carefully.
  To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tyre or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
 


 Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).



 Avoid driving over obstacles. Also,
do not drive through an automatic
car wash. This tyre's diameter is
smaller than a conventional tyre,
so the ground clearance is reduced.
 


 Do not use a tyre chain on this tyre
because it will not ¿ t properly.




 Do not use your temporary spare
tyre on any other vehicle, it has
been designed only for your
Mazda.
 


 Use only one temporary spare tyre
on your vehicle at the same time.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
Using the Emergency Flat Tyre
Repair Kit
1. Park on a level surface off the right-of-
way and 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.
3. Turn on the hazard warning À asher.
4. Unload passengers and luggage, and
remove the emergency À at tyre repair
kit.



5. Shake the tyre sealant well.


CAUTION
If the bottle is shaken after the injection
hose is screwed on, tyre sealant could
spray out from the injection hose. Tyre
sealant contacting clothing or other
objects may be impossible to remove.
Shake the bottle before screwing on the
injection hose.
NOTE
The tyre sealant can be used at outside
temperatures down to -30 °C (-22 °F). In
extremely cold temperatures (0 °C
(32 °F) or below), the tyre sealant
hardens easily and injection of the
sealant will be dif¿ cult. Warm the
sealant inside the vehicle before doing
the injection work.
6. Remove the cap from the bottle. Screw
on the injection hose with the bottle's
inner cap left on to break the inner cap.

If Trouble Arises

NOTE
Do not throw away the empty tyre
sealant bottle after use. Return the empty
tyre sealant bottle to an Authorised
Mazda Repairer when replacing the tyre.
The empty tyre sealant bottle will need
to be used to extract and dispose of the
used sealant from the tyre.
13. After that, install the injection hose to
the tab of the bottle to prevent leakage
of any remaining sealant.

14. Attach the vehicle speed restriction
sticker in a place where the driver can
easily see it.


WARNING
Do not attach the vehicle speed
restriction sticker to the instrument
panel, as it would obstruct vision of
areas such as warning light indicators
or the speedometer:
Attaching the vehicle speed restriction
sticker to the steering wheel pad is
dangerous. The sticker could interfere
with air bag inÀ ation and cause serious
injury.
15. Install the compressor hose to the tyre
valve.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
CAUTION
  Before pulling out the compressor
plug from the electrical socket, make
sure the compressor power switch is
off.
  The compressor turns on and off with
the push-button switch.
17. Turn the compressor switch on and
inÀ ate the tyre carefully to the correct
inÀ ation pressure.
WARNING
Never operate the compressor above
300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi):
Operating the compressor above
300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi) is
dangerous. When the inÀ ation pressure
rises above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
2 , 3 bar,
43.5 psi), heated air will be exhausted
from the back of the compressor and
you could be burned.
NOTE
  Check the tyre inÀ ation pressure
label (driver's door frame) for the
correct tyre inÀ ation pressure.

 Do not use the compressor for longer
than 10 minutes because using the
compressor for long periods could
damage it.
  If the tyre does not inÀ ate, repair
of the tyre may not be possible. If
the tyre does not reach the correct
inÀ ation pressure within a 10-minute
period, it probably has received more
extensive damage.
 When this happens, the emergency
À at tyre repair kit cannot be used
to repair the tyre. Contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  If the tyre has been over-inÀ ated,
loosen the screw cap on the
compressor and bleed some of the air
out.
18. When the tyre has been inÀ ated to
the proper inÀ ation pressure, turn the
compressor switch off and remove the
compressor hose from the tyre valve.
19. Install the tyre valve cap.
