7. California Civil Code Section 1793.2(d) requires that, if Mazda or its
representative is unable to repair a new
motor vehicle to conform to the
vehicle's applicable express warranty
after a reasonable number of attempts,
Mazda may be required to replace or
repurchase the vehicl e. California Civil
Code Section 1793.22 (b) creates a
presumption that Mazda has had a
reasonable number of attempts to
conform the vehicle to its applicable
express warranties if , within 18 months
from delivery to the buyer or 18,000
miles on the vehicle's odometer,
whichever occurs first, one or more of
the following occurs:
The same nonconformity [a failure
to conform to the written warranty
that substantially impairs the use,
value or safety of the vehicle] results
in a condition that is likely to cause
death or serious bodily injury if the
vehicle is driven AND the
nonconformity has been subject to
repair two or more times by Mazda
or its agents AND the buyer or
lessee has directly notified Mazda of
the need for the repair of the
nonconformity; OR
The same nonconformity has been
subject to repair 4 or more times by
Mazda or its agents AND the buyer
has notified Mazda of the need for
the repair of the nonconformity; OR
The vehicle is out of service by
reason of repair of nonconformities
by Mazda or its agents for a
cumulative total of more than 30
calendar days after delivery of the
vehicle to the buyer.

Uniform Tire Quality
Grading System (UTQGS)
▼ Uniform Tire Quality Grading
System (UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading
system developed by the U.S. National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration for
grading tires by tread wear, traction, and
temperature performance.
▼Tr e a d We a r
The tread wear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear
one-and-a-half times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performan
ce of tires depends
upon the actual conditions of their use,
however, and may depart significantly
from the norm because of variations in
driving habits, service practices and
differences in road characteristics and
climate.
▼ Traction-AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These grades
represent the tire's ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt an
d concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction
performance.
WA R N I N G
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on braking (straight ahead) traction
tests and does not include acceleration
cornering (turning), hydroplaning, or peak
traction characteristics.
▼ Te m p e r a t u r e - A , B , C
The temperature grades A (the highest), B,
and C, represent the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to
dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor
laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive
temperatures can lead to sudden tire
failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger vehicle
tires must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades
B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.

Tire Maintenance
▼Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important
maintenance points:
▼Tire Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire pressure monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, top handling, and minimum
tire wear. Use the p
ressures specified on
the vehicle tire information placard or tire
label for optimum service.
▼ Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires
every 16,000 km (10,000 miles) at the
latest or sooner if irregular wear develops.
Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000
km (5,000 miles) to help increase tire life
and distribute wear more evenly.
1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.
Inspect the tires fo
r uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combinati on of the following:
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9- 9) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tire performance will be weakened
if rotated from side to side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WA R N I N G
Always use tires that are in good condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator
You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
