2. Lower level
Inspect the electrolyte level at least
once a week. If it is low, remove the
caps and add enough distilled water to
bring the level between the upper and
lower level (illustration).

Do not overfill.
Examine the specific gravity of the
electrolyte with a hydrometer,
especially during cold weather. If it is
low, recharge the battery.

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.
