4. After drying it completely, apply a
suitable top coat material to the
area.
Of course there will be no problem if
you assign the work to an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
▼Cavity Protection
Cavities are treated for protection at
the factory, but additional protective
treatment after the vehicle has been
put into use will extend the life of the
body.
We recommend that you consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer)
concerning this additional precaution.
▼Bright-Metal Maintenance
xUse tar remover to remove road tar
and insects. Never do this with a
knife or similar tool.
xTo prevent corrosion on bright-metal
surfaces, apply wax or chrome
preservative and rub it to a high
lustre.
xDuring cold weather or in coastal
areas, cover bright-metal parts with a
coating of wax or preservative
heavier than usual. It would also help
to coat them with noncorrosive
petroleum jelly or some other
protective compound.
CAUTION
Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or anodised
aluminium parts. This may result in
damage to the protective coating and
cause discolouration or paint
deterioration.
▼Undercoating
This special coating is applied to the
critical parts of the underside to
protect vehicles from damage caused
by chemicals or stones. This coating is
liable to be damaged with time. Check
this coating periodically.

Should repairs be necessary, consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer). They are
well informed on how repairs should
be made.
▼Aluminium Wheel Maintenance*
A protective coating is provided over
the aluminium wheels. Special care is
needed to protect this coating.
CAUTION
Do not use any detergent other than
mild detergent. Before using any
detergent, verify the ingredients.
Otherwise, the product could
discolour or stain the aluminium
wheels.
NOTE
xDo not use a wire brush or any
abrasive cleaner, polishing
compound, or solvent on aluminium
wheels. They may damage the
coating.
xAlways use a sponge or soft cloth to
clean the wheels.
Rinse the wheels thoroughly with
lukewarm or cold water. Also, be
sure to clean the wheels after driving
on dusty or salted roads to help
prevent corrosion.
xAvoid washing your vehicle in an
automatic car wash that uses
high-speed or hard brushes.

▼Spare Tyre*
Your Mazda has a temporary 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.

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
¾When using the temporary spare
tyre, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tyre. Drive carefully.
¾To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tyre or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:

CAUTION
¾For a tyre which has undergone
an emergency flat tyre repair
using the emergency flat tyre
repair kit, Mazda recommends
that the tyre be replaced with a
new one as soon as possible. If
the tyre is to be repaired and
reused, consult an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised

¾The wheel can be reused after
any sealant adhering to it is
wiped off and carefully inspected.
However, replace the tyre valve
with a new one.

kit at regular intervals.
xCheck the tyre sealant period of
effective use.
xCheck the operation of the tyre
compressor.
NOTE

effective use. Check the period of
effective use indicated on the bottle
label and do not use it if it has expired.
Have the tyre sealant replaced at an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) before the
period of
effective use has expired.
Changing a Flat Tyre
(With Spare Tyre)
▼Changing a Flat Tyre
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving , it
could indicate a flat tyre.
xSteering becomes difficult.xThe vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
xThe 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.
WARNING
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
firmly set the
parking brake.
If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
7-33

2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transmission in Park (P), a manual
transmission in Reverse (R) or 1,
and turn off the engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
4. Have passengers get out of the
vehicle and away from the vehicle
and traffic.
5. Remove any luggage, the jack,
tools, and spare tyre (page 7-24).
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.
▼Removing a Flat Tyre
WARNING
When jacking-up a vehicle, always
shift the shift lever to 1st or R position
(manual transmission vehicle) or shift
the selector lever to P position
(automatic transmission vehicle),
apply the parking brake, and place
wheel blocks in the position
diagonally opposed to the jack:
Changing a flat tyre without using
wheel blocks is dangerous because the
vehicle may move and fall off the jack
even with the shift lever in 1st or R
position, or the selector lever is in P
position, which could result in an
accident.
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a
wheel cover, pry off the wheel
cover with the bevelled end of the
jack lever.

NOTE
Force the end of the jack lever
firmly between wheel and cover, or
removal will be difficult.
CAUTION
Align the notch on the wheel cover
with the valve stem when installing
it.
