*Some models.
Replacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.

Replace all four tires at the same time:
Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tires at the
same time.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.

New treadTread wear indicator
Worn tread

You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
(With tire pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tire pressure,
initialization of the tire pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-108 .
N O T E
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate the
aging process. The period in which the tire
was manufactured (both week and year) is
indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-24 .

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 aff ected, leading to loss of
control and an accident.

CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
aff ect:




¾ Tire fi t



¾ Wheel and bearing life



¾ Ground clearance



¾ Snow-chain clearance



¾ Speedometer calibration



¾ Headlight aim



¾ Bumper height

N O T E
 


y Check the tire inÀ ation pressure label
driver's door frame for the correct tire
inÀ ation pressure.




y Do not operate the air compressor
for a continuous 10 minutes or longer
because using it for long periods could
cause a malfunction.
 


y If the tire inÀ ation pressure does
not increase, repair of the tire is not
possible. If the tire does not reach the
speci¿ ed tire inÀ ation pressure within
10 minutes, it may have received
extensive damage. In this case, the
repair using the emergency À at tire
repair kit was not successful. Contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

13. Adhere the speed restriction sticker to
an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.

14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to the
wheel of the À at tire.


WARNING
Do not adhere the speed restriction
sticker to the padded area on the
steering wheel:
Adhering the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering
wheel is dangerous because the
air bag may not operate (deploy)
normally resulting in serious injury.
In addition, do not adhere the sticker
to areas where warning lights or the
speedometer cannot be viewed.

15. When the tire inÀ ates to the speci¿ ed
tire inÀ ation pressure, turn the air
compressor switch off, turn the sleeve
of the injection hose to the left, and pull
it out of the tire valve.

N O T E
Do not throw away the empty tire sealant
bottle after use. Return the empty tire
sealant bottle to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer when replacing the tire. The empty
tire sealant bottle will need to be used to
extract and dispose of the used sealant
from the tire.

14. After that, install the injection hose to
the tab of the bottle to prevent leakage
of any remaining sealant.
