2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-30 warning

Ty re s
▼Ty re s
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better fuel economy, always
maintain recommended tyre
inflation
pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
Using
Different Ty re Ty p e s :
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tyres is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tyre, use only the
same type tyres (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-10)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance, tyre
clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tyres that
are the correct size specified for the
vehicle.
▼Tyre Inflation Pressure
WARNING
Always inflate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tyres
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in
a serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-10.
Use only a Mazda-genuine tyre valve
cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is
dangerous as the correct tyre air
pressure cannot be maintained if the
tyre valve becomes damaged. If the
vehicle is driven under this condition,
the tyre air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the
tyre valve cap that is not a
Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tyre pressures monthly when
the tyres are cold. Maintain
recommended pressures for the best
ride, handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-10).
NOTE
xAlways check tyre pressure when
tyres are cold.
xWarm tyres normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not
release air from warm tyres to adjust
the pressure.
xUnderinflation can cause reduced
fuel economy, uneven and
accelerated tyre wear, and poor
sealing of the tyre bead, which will
deform the wheel and cause
separation of tyre from rim.
xOverinflation can produce a harsh
ride, uneven and accelerated tyre
wear, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
Keep your tyre pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs
inflating, have it inspected.

▼Ty re Ro ta t i o n
WARNING
Rotate tyres periodically:
Irregular tyre wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking, rotate the tyres periodically or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
Please refer to Scheduled maintenance
for your tyre rotation interval.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.
NOTE
Because your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tyre, you cannot do a tyre
rotation safely with the jack that comes
with your vehicle. Have an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer) perform
tyre rotation.

1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tyre in rotation.

Also, inspect them for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by one or a combination of the
following:

xIncorrect tyre pressurexImproper wheel alignment
xOut-of-balance wheelxSevere braking

After rotation, inflate all tyre pressures
to specification (page 9-10) and
inspect the wheel nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tyres and radial
tyres that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tyre
performance will be reduced if rotated
from side to side.
▼Replacing a Tyre
WARNING
Always use tyres that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tyres is dangerous.
Reduced braking , steering , and
traction could result in an accident.
Replace all four tyres at the same
time:
Replacing just one tyre is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tyres at the
same time.
If a tyre wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
6-42

Replace the tyre when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator
You should replace the tyre before the
band crosses the entire tread.
▼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 affected, leading to loss of control
and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
affect:
¾Ty re
fit
¾Wheel and bearing life
¾Ground clearance
¾Snow-chain clearance
¾Speedometer calibration
¾Headlight aim
¾Bumper height
¾Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

NOTE
xWhen replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the
original factory wheel in diameter,
rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
xFor details, contact an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer).

Proper tyre balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tyres can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and
flat spots.

WARNING
Do not replace the main fuse by
yourself. Have an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer) perform the
replacement:
Replacing the fuse by yourself is
dangerous because the MAIN fuse
is a high current fuse. Incorrect
replacement could cause an
electrical shock or a short circuit
resulting in a fire.
4. Reinstall the cover and make sure
that it is securely installed.

evaporates, the minerals will
concentrate and harden to form white
rings. The rings can damage your
vehicle's finish.
Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your
vehicle to preserve its
finish according
to the instructions in this section.
These steps should be taken
immediately after you find water marks
on your vehicle's finish.
Paint Chipping
Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel
thrown in the air by another vehicle's
tyres hits your vehicle.
How to avoid paint chipping
Keeping a safe distance between you
and the vehicle ahead reduces the
chances of having your paint chipped
by
flying gravel.
NOTE
xThe paint chipping zone varies with
the speed of the vehicle. For
example, when travelling at 90 km/h
(56 mph), the paint chipping zone is
50 m (164 ft).
xIn low temperatures a vehicle's
finish
hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
xChipped paint can lead to rust
forming on your Mazda. Before this
happens, repair the damage by using
Mazda touch-up paint according to
the instructions in this section.
Failure to repair the affected area
could lead to serious rusting and
expensive repairs.

Follow all label and container
directions when using a chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warnings
and cautions.
▼Maintaining the Finish
Washing
CAUTION
¾Before lifting the windscreen wiper
blades off the windscreen, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windscreen wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
bonnet could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windscreen
Wiper Blades (page 6-32) section for
the procedure on how to move the
windscreen wiper blades to the
service position.
¾When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
¾If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
¾If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object from either
outside or inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windscreen when the wiper lever is
in the AUTO position and the
ignition is switched ON as
fingers
could be pinched or the wipers and
wiper blades damaged when the
wipers activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the
windscreen, be sure the wipers are
turned off completely (when it is
most likely that the engine is left
running) this is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow.

with plain water is ineffective, use a
mild soap made for use on vehicles.

Thoroughly rinse off all soap with
lukewarm or cold water. Do not allow
soap to dry on the finish.

After washing the vehicle, dry it with a
clean chamois to prevent water spots
from forming.
WARNING
Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
When using an automatic car wash
xRetract the door mirrors.xThe automatic car wash brushes
could reduce the paint lustre or
hasten paint deterioration.
When using a high water pressure car
wash
High water temperature and high
water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of car
wash machine. If the car washer nozzle
is put too close to the vehicle, the
force of the spray could damage or
deform the molding,
affect the
sealability of parts, and allow water to
penetrate the interior. Keep a
sufficient
space (30 cm (12 in) or more)
between the nozzle and the vehicle. In
addition, do not spend too much time
spraying the same area of the vehicle,
and be very careful when spraying
between gaps in doors and around
windows.
Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer beads on the
finish.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing it. In addition to the vehicle
body, wax the metal trim to maintain
its lustre.

1. Use wax which contains no
abrasives.
Waxes containing abrasive will
remove paint and could damage
bright metal parts.
2. Use a good grade of natural wax for
metallic, mica, and solid colours.
3. When waxing, coat evenly with the
sponge supplied or a soft cloth.
4. Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.
NOTE
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and
similar materials will usually also take
off the wax. Rewax these areas even if
the rest of the vehicle does not need it.
▼Paint Damage Touch-up
Repair damage to the finish caused by
stone chipping, damage during parking
etc., by using Mazda touch-up paint
before rust begins to form. First,
remove the dirt and grease with a
clean soft cloth.

If rust has already begun to form:

1. Remove rust completely with
sandpaper.
2. Wipe with a clean soft cloth.
3. Apply rust preventive primer to the
area.

▼Plastic Part Maintenance
xWhen cleaning the plastic lenses of
the lights, do not use petrol, paraffin,
rectified spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these
chemical agents can discolour or
damage the surfaces resulting in a
significant loss in functionality. If
plastic parts become inadvertently
exposed to any of these chemical
agents, flush with water immediately.
xIf plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or fluids such as
petrol, oil, engine coolant, or battery
fluid, it could cause discolouration,
staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off
any such chemical agents or fluids
using a soft cloth immediately.
xHigh water temperature and high
water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of
high pressure car washer device. If
the car washer nozzle is put too
close to the vehicle or aimed at one
area for an extended period of time,
it could deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.
xDo not use wax containing
compounds (polish). Otherwise, it
could result in paint damage.
xIn addition, do not use an electrical
or air tool to apply wax. Otherwise,
the frictional heat generated could
result in deformation of plastic parts
or paint damage.
Interior Care
▼Interior Care
WARNING
Do not spray water into the vehicle
cabin:
Spraying water into the vehicle cabin is
dangerous as electrical devices such as
the audio and switches could get wet
resulting in a malfunction or vehicle
fire.
NOTE
xDo not wipe the interior using
alcohol, chlorine bleach, or organic
solvents such as thinner, benzene,
and petrol. Otherwise, it may cause
discolouration or stains.
xRubbing hard with a stiff brush or
cloth may cause damage.
If the vehicle interior becomes soiled
by any of the following , wipe it off
immediately using a soft cloth.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
discolouration, stains, cracks, or
peeling of the coating , and it will make
it hard to wipe off later.

sure there is no remaining moisture
on them.
WARNING
If a seat belt appears frayed or has
abrasions, have it replaced by an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer):
If a seat belt is used under such a
condition, it cannot function at its full
capacity which could result in serious
injury or death.
Use a mild detergent to remove
soiling from a seat belt:
If organic solvents are used for cleaning
the seat belts or they become stained
or bleached, there is the possibility of
them becoming weakened and as a
result, they may not function at their
full capacity which could cause serious
injury or death.
NOTE
Clean seat belts diligently if they get
dirty. Leaving them uncleaned will
make it difficult to clean them later,
and it may
affect the smooth retracting
of the seat belt.
▼Vinyl Upholstery Maintenance
Remove dust and dirt from the vinyl
upholstery using a brush or vacuum.
Remove soiling from vinyl upholstery
using a leather and vinyl upholstery
cleaner.
▼Upholstery Maintenance
1. Clean the soiled area by lightly
dabbing it with a soft cloth soaked
in a mild detergent (approx. 5%)
diluted with water.
2. Wipe
off the remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water
and wrung out well.
▼Leather Upholstery Maintenance*
1. Remove dust and sand using a
vacuum cleaner.
2. Wipe off the soiled area with a soft
cloth and a suitable, special cleaner
or a soft cloth soaked in a mild
detergent (about 5%) diluted with
water.
3. Wipe off the remaining detergent
using a cloth soaked in clean water
and wrung out well.
4. Remove moisture with a dry, soft
cloth and allow the leather to
further dry in a well-ventilated,
shaded area. If the leather gets wet
such as from rain, remove the
moisture and dry it as soon as
possible.
NOTE
xBecause genuine leather is a natural
material, its surface is not uniform
and it may have natural scars,
scratches, and wrinkles.
xTo maintain the quality for as long as
possible, periodical maintenance,
about twice a year, is recommended.
xIf the leather upholstery comes into
contact with any of the following,
clean it immediately.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
premature wear, mold, or stains.
xSand or dirtxGrease or oil, such as hand creamxAlcohol, such as in cosmetic or
hair dressing items
xIf the leather upholstery gets wet,
promptly remove moisture with a dry
