Ty r e s
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tyre inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WA R N I N G
Using Different Tyre Types:
Driving your vehicle with different types of
tyres is dangerous. It could cause poor
handling and poor braking; leading to loss
of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary
spare tyre, use only the same type tyres
(radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four
wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-9) is
dangerous. It could seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, tyre clearance,
and speedometer calibration. This could
cause you to have an accident. Use only
tyres that are the correct size specified for
the vehicle.
▼ Tyre Inflation Pressure
WA R N I N G
Always
inflate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tyres is
dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-9.

Use only a Mazda-genuine tyre valve cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as
the correct tyre air pressure cannot be
maintained if the tyre valve becomes
damaged. If the vehicle is driven under this
condition, the tyre air pressure will
decrease which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the tyre
valve cap that is not a Mazda-genuine
part.
Inspect all tyre pressures monthly
(including the spare
*) when the tyres are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, handl ing, and minimum tyre
wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page 9-
9).
NOTE
•Always check tyre pressure when tyres
are cold.
•Warm tyres normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tyres to adjust the
pressure.
•Underinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tyre
wear, and poor sealing of the tyre bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tyre from rim.
•Overinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tyre wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tyre pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.
▼ Tyre Rotation
WA R N I N G
Rotate tyres periodically:
Irregular tyre wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining good
performance in handling and braking,
rotate the tyres every 10,000 km (6,250
miles), or sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.
NOTE
(Without temporary spare tyre)
Because your vehicle is not equipped with
a spare tyre, you cannot do a tyre rotation
safely with the jack
that comes with your
vehicle. Have an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer perform tyre rotation.

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tyre in rotation.
Forward
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:

•Incorrect tyre pressure
•Improper wheel alignment
•Out-of-balance wheel

•Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tyre pressures to
specification (page 9-9) and inspect the
wheel nuts for tightness.
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
WA R N I N G
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 ty
re 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 w hen this happens.
New tread
Tread wear
indicator
Worn tread
You should replace the tyre before the
band crosses the entire tread.
▼Temporary Spare Tyre*
Inspect the temporary spare tyre at least
monthly to make su
re it is properly
inflated 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.

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

Refer to Tyre on page 9-9.
CAUTION
 Do not use your temporary spare tyre rim
with a snow tyre or a conventional tyre.
Neither will properly fit 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 6-45).
▼ Replacing a Wheel
WA R N I N G
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 fit
 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 flat spots.

▼Jack*
To remove the jack
1. Open the luggage board, and lift it.
2. Remove the jack.
To secure the jack
Perform the removal procedure in reverse.
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 tem
porary 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.
WA R N I N G
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).

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.
