Changing a Flat Tyre(With Spare Tyre)
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a flat tyre.
•Steering becomes difficult.
•The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
•The vehicle pulls in one direction.
If you have a flat tyre, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffic to change the tyre.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.
WA R N I N G
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tyre:
Changing a tyre 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 hard, level surface off the right-of-way and firml y 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 flasher.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traffic.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tyre
(page 7-15).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tyre. When blocking a wheel,
place a tyre block both in front and
behind the tyre.
NOTE
When blocking a tyre, use rocks or
wood blocks of sufficient size if
possible to hold the tyre in place.

▼Removing a Flat Tyre
WA R N I N G
When jacking-up a vehicle, always shift the
shift lever to 1st or R (manual transaxle
vehicle) or shift the selector lever to P
(automatic transaxle vehicle), apply the
parking brake, and place wheel blocks in
the position diagonally opposed to the
jack:
Changing a
flat tyre without using wheel
blocks is dangerous because the vehicle
may move and fall off the jack even with
the shift lever in 1st or R, or the select lever
is in P, which could result in an accident.
1. If your vehicle is equipped with steel wheels, pry off the c entre cap with the
bevelled end of the jack lever.
CAUTION
Use the jack lever when removing the
centre cap. Using your hands to remove
it may cause an injury. In addition,
using a tool other than the jack lever
may cause damage to the wheel or the
centre cap.
2. Loosen the wheel nuts by turning them anticlockwise one turn each, but do not
remove any wheel nuts until the tyre
has been raised off the ground.
3. Place the jack on the ground.
4. Turn the jack screw in the directionshown in the figure and adjust the jack
head so that it is close to the jack-up
position.

WARNING
Use only the front and rear jacking
positions recommended in this manual:
Attempting to jack the vehicle in
positions other than those
recommended in this manual is
dangerous. The vehicle could slip off
the jack and seriously injure or even kill
someone. Use only the front and rear
jacking positions recommended in this
manual.
Do not jack up the vehicle in a position
other than the designated jack-up
position or place any objects on or
under the jack:
Jacking up the vehicle in a position
other than the designated jack-up
position or placing objects on or under
the jack is dangerous as it could deform
the vehicle body or the vehicle could fall
off the jack resulting in an accident.
Use only the jack provided with your
Mazda:
Using a jack that is not designed for
your Mazda is dangerous. The vehicle
could slip off the jack and seriously
injure someone.
Never place objects under the jack:
Jacking the vehicle with an object
under the jack is dangerous. The jack
could slip and someone could be
seriously injured by the jack or the
falling vehicle.
7. Insert the jack l ever and attach the
wheel brace to tyre jack.

8. Turn the jack handle clockwise andraise the vehicle high enough so that
the spare tyre can be installed. Before
removing the wheel nuts, make sure
your Mazda is firmly in position and
that it cannot slip or move.
WA R N I N G
Do not jack up the vehicle higher than
is necessary:
Jacking up the vehicle higher than is
necessary is dangerous as it could
destabilize the vehicle resulting in an
accident.
Do not start the engine or shake the
vehicle while it is jacked up:
Starting the engine or shaking the
vehicle while it is jacked up is
dangerous as it could cause the vehicle
to fall off the jack resulting in an
accident.
Never go under the vehicle while it is
jacked up:
Going under the vehicle while it is
jacked up is dangerous as it could result
in death or serious injury if the vehicle
were to fall off the jack.
9. Remove the wheel nuts by turning
them anticlockwise; then remove the
wheel and centre cap.
▼Mounting the Spare Tyre
1. Remove dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub, including the hub bolts, with a
cloth.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the mounting surfaces of the
wheel, hub and wheel nuts are clean
before changing or replacing tyres:
When changing or replacing a tyre, not
removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub
and hub bolts is dangerous. The wheel
nuts could loosen while driving and
cause the tyre to come off, resulting in
an accident.
2. Mount the spare tyre.

3. Install the wheel nuts with the bevellededge inward; tighten them by hand.
WARNING
Do not apply oil or grease to wheel nuts
and bolts and do not tighten the wheel
nuts beyond the recommended
tightening torque:
Applying oil or grease to wheel nuts
and bolts is dangerous. The wheel nuts
could loosen while driving and cause
the tyre to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, wheel nuts and
bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.
4. Turn the wheel brace anticlockwise and lower the vehicle.
5. Use the wheel brace to tighten the nuts in the order shown.
If you are unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Nut tightening torque
N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf) 108―147 (12―14,
80―108)
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 configuration:
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.
6. Remove the tyre blocks and store the tools and jack.
7. Store the damaged tyre in the luggage compartment.
8. Check the inflation pressure. Refer to Tyres on page 9-9.
9. Have the flat tyre repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

Have the vehicle towed to an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Re‐
pairer to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning li ght and ABS warning light are illuminated
simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminate d, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an emer‐
gency stop than under normal circumstances.

Do not continue driving when the charging system warning light is illuminated be‐
cause the engine could stop unexpectedly.
Engine Oil Warning Light This warning light indicates low engine oil pressure.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is
low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive
engine damage.
If the light illuminates or the w arning indication is displayed while driving:
1. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way o n level ground.
2. Turn off the engine and wait 5 minutes for the oil to drain b ack into the sump.
3. Inspect the engine oil level. (page 6-28) If it's low, add th e appropriate amount of
engine oil while being careful not to overfill.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive
engine damage.
4. Start the engine and check the warning light.
If the light remains illuminated even though the oil level is normal or after adding oil,
