▼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).

Emergency Flat Tyre
Repair Kit
*
The emergency flat tyre repair kit included
with your Mazda is for a temporary repair
of a slightly damaged flat tyre resulting
from running over nails or similar sharp
objects on the road surface.
Perform the emergency flat tyre repair
without removing the nail or similar sharp
object which punc tured the tyre.
NOTE
Your vehicle is not eq uipped with a spare
tyre. In the event of a flat tyre, use the
emergency flat tyre repair kit to repair the
tyre temporarily. When doing the repair,
refer to the instruct ions included in the
emergency flat tyre repair kit. If an
emergency repair was performed on a flat
tyre using the emergency flat tyre repair
kit, have an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer, repair or replace the tyre as
soon as possible.

WARNING
Never operate the compressor above
300 kPa (3.1 kgf/ c m
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 inflation 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 inflation pressure
label (driver's door frame) for the
correct tyre inflation 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 inflate, repair of
the tyre may not be possible. If the
tyre does not reach the correct
inflation pressure within a 10-minute
period, it probably has received
more extensive damage. When this
happens, the emergency flat 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-inflated,
loosen the screw cap on the
compressor and bleed some of the
air out.
16. When the tyre has been inflated to the proper inflation pressure, turn the
compressor switch off and remove the
compressor hose from the tyre valve.
17. Install the tyre valve cap.
18. Put the emergency flat tyre repair kit in the boot and continue driving.
CAUTION
Drive carefully to an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer and keep the vehicle
speed below 80 km/h (50 mph).
 If the vehicle is driven 80 km/h (50
mph) or higher, the vehicle might
begin to vibrate.
NOTE
(With Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
If the tyre is not properly inflated, the
tyre pressure monitoring system
warning light will illuminate (page
4-42).
19. After driving the vehicle for 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), check the
tyre pressure with the tyre pressure
gauge equipped with the compressor. If
the tyre pressure ha s fallen below the
correct tyre pressure, inflate the tyre to
the correct pressure again following
the steps from number 14.
CAUTION
 If the tyre inflation pressure falls
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar,
18.9 psi), repair cannot be done with
the repair kit. Park the vehicle on a
level surface off the right-of-way and
contact an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

Overheating
If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on, the
vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud
knocking or pinging noise, the engine is
probably too hot.
WA R N I N G
Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition 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 bonnet 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 temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle 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 bonnet and start the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the bonnet 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 expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.

stribution control unit determines that some compo-
nents are operating incorrectly , the control unit may illuminate the brake system
warning light and the ABS warni ng light simultaneously. The problem is likely to be
the electronic brake force distribution system.
WARNING

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.
