ug nuts with the lock
manufacturer by filling out the card
provided in the glove compartment and

Mazda Dealer or use the lock
manufacturer's order form, which is with
the registration card.
Accessory wheel locks cannot be used on
steel wheels. This includes situations when
the spare tire is installed. If the spare tire is
installed, one of th e original lug nuts
(which should still be in the vehicle) must
be installed in place of the wheel lock.
