2020 MAZDA MODEL 6 run flat

▼Locking Lug Nuts
If your Mazda is equipped with the
optional antitheft whe
el lug nuts, a special
key must be used to unlock the locking lug
nut for each wheel. The key is stored in
the glove compartmen t, center console
storage, storage box, or trunk. Register the
key and lug nuts with the lock
manufacturer by filling out the registration
card and mailing it in using the
accompanying envelope. If the key is lost,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer or
use the lock manufacturer’s order form to
order a new key.
Antitheft wheel lug nuts cannot be
installed on a steel wheel spare tire. When
installing a temporary spare tire, use one
of the original lug nuts in place of the
locking lug nut. The original lug nuts are
stored inside your Mazda.

1. Obtain the special key for the antitheft
lug nut.

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. (Without flat tire belt)
Store the damaged tire in the trunk.
(With flat tire belt)
Open the trunk mat.
7. Remove the belt for securing the flat tire.
8. Put the flat tire into the trunk on the
left and toward the back.

9. Fold the seat back f orward on the right
side of the rear seat.
10. Thread the belt thro ugh the rear seat as
shown in the figure.

11. Thread the buckle through the wheel as
shown in the figure and secure it so
that the buckle does not contact the
wheel.

Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys
tem Warning Light (Turns on)
Take the appropriate action and verify that the warning light t urns off.
Wa r n i n g
When the warning light illuminate s, and the warning beep sound is heard when tire pressu re is too low in one or
more tires.
WARNING
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, or the tire pressure warning beep sound
is heard, decrease vehicle speed immediately and avoid sudden maneuvering and braking:
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illumin ates or flashes, or the tire pressure warning beep sound
is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high speeds, or perform sudden maneuvering or braking. Vehicle
drivability could worsen and result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or a flat, pull over to a safe position where you can check the visual condition
of the tire and determine if you have enough air to proceed to a place where air may be added and the system
monitored again by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a tire repair station.
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:
Ignoring the TPMS warning light is da ngerous, even if you know why it is illuminated. Have the problem taken
care of as soon as possible before it develops into a more serious situation that could lead to tire failure and a
dangerous accident.

▼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 d rive 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 distur bance while driving or you suspect your tire or
vehicle has been damaged, immediately reduce your speed. Drive with caution until you can
safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the ti re for damage. If the tire is under-inflated or
damaged, deflate it, remove the tire and rim and rep lace 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.
