2020 MAZDA MODEL 3 HATCHBACK run flat

WA R N I N G
Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts
and bolts and do not tighten the lug
nuts beyond the recommended
tightening torque:
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and
bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts could
loosen while driving and cause the tire
to come off, resulting in an accident. In
addition, lug nuts and bolts could be
damaged if tightened more than
necessary.
4. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise using the lug wrench and lower the
vehicle.
5. Use the lug wrench to tighten the nuts in the order shown.

If you are unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Nut tightening torque
N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf) 108―147 (12―14,
80―108)
WA R N I N G
Always securely and correctly tighten
the lug nuts:
Improperly or loosely tightened lug
nuts are dangerous. The wheel could
wobble or come off. This could result in
loss of vehicle control and cause a
serious accident.
Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you
removed or replace them with metric
nuts of the same configuration:
Because the wheel studs and lug nuts
on your Mazda have metric threads,
using a non-metric nut is dangerous.
On a metric stud, it would not secure
the wheel and would damage the stud,
which could cause the wheel to slip off
and cause an accident.
6. (Aluminum wheel equipped vehicle)
Remove the center cap by tapping it
from the backside of the wheel using
the lug wrench.
7. Store the damaged tire in the trunk (4-door) or lugg age compartment
(5-door).

8. Secure the damaged tire to the vehicle using the following method.

Tire Labeling
▼Tire Labeling
Federal law requires tire manufacturers to
place standardized information on the
sidewall of all tires. This information
identifies and describes the fundamental
characteristics of the tire and also provides
a tire identification number for safety
standard certification and in case of a
recall.
▼Information on Passenger Vehicle
Tires
Please refer to the sample below.
1. SAFETY WARNING
2. Passenger car tire
3. Nominal width of tire in millimeters
4. Ratio of height to width (aspect ratio)
5. Radial
6. Run-flat tire
7. Rim diameter code
8. TIN: U.S. DOT tir
e identification
number
9. Load index & speed symbol
10. Severe snow conditions
11. Tire ply composition and materials used
12. Max. load rating
13. Tread wear, traction and temperature grades
14. Max. permissible inflation pressure

P215/65R15 95H is an example of a tire
size and load index rating. Here is an
explanation of the various components of
that tire size and load index rating. Note
that the tire size and load index rating may
be different from the example.
P
Indicates a tire that may be installed on
cars, SUVs, minivans and light trucks as
designated by the Tire and Rim
Association (T&RA).
NOTE
If your tire size does not begin with a letter
this may mean it is designated by either
ETRTO (European Tire and Rim Technical
Organization) or JATMA (Japan Tire
Manufacturing Association).
215
“215” is the nominal w idth of the tire in
millimeters. This three-digit number gives
the width in millimeters of the tire from
sidewall edge to sidewall edge. In general,
the larger the number, the wider the tire.
65
“65” is the aspect ratio. This two-digit
number indicates the tire's ratio of height
to width.
R
“R” is the tire construction symbol. R
indicates “Radial ply construction”.
15
“15” is the wheel rim diameter in inches.

NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when they
are not being used on the road. It is
recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or older.
Heat caused by hot climates or frequent
high loading conditions can accelerate the
aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road
tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured
(both week and year) is indicated by a
4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-23.
▼Safety Practices
The way you drive has a great deal to do
with your tire mileage and safety. So
cultivate good driving habits for your own
benefit.
Observe posted speed
limits and drive at
speeds that are safe for the existing
weather conditions
Avoid fast starts, stops and turns
Avoid potholes and objects on the road
Do not run over curbs or hit the tire
against the curb when parking
CAUTION
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving or you suspect
your tire or vehicle has been damaged,
immediately reduce yo ur speed. Drive with
caution until you can safely pull off the
road. Stop and inspect the tire for damage.
If the tire is under-inflated or damaged,
deflate it, remove the tire and rim and
replace it with your spare tire. If you cannot
detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to
the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to have
the vehicle inspected.
