Tires
▼Tires
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better fuel economy, always
maintain recommended tire
inflation
pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
Using Different Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tire, use only the
same type tires (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tires:
Using any other tire size than what is
specified for the vehicle (page 9-7)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance, tire
clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tires that
are the correct size specified for the
vehicle.
▼ Tire Inflation Pressure
WARNING
Always inflate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tires
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-7.

Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve
cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is
dangerous as the correct tire air
pressure cannot be maintained if the
tire valve becomes damaged. If the
vehicle is driven under this condition,
the tire air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the
tire valve cap that is not a
Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tire pressures monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended
pressures for the best ride, handling ,
and minimum tire wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page
9-7).
NOTE
Always check tire pressure when tires
are cold.
Warm tires normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not
release air from warm tires to adjust
the pressure.
Underinflation can cause reduced
fuel economy, uneven and
accelerated tire wear, and poor
sealing of the tire bead, which will
deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.
Overinflation can produce a harsh
ride, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and a greater possibility of
damage from road hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs
inflating, have it inspected.
▼ Tire Rotation
WARNING
Rotate tires periodically:
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking, rotate the tires periodically or
sooner if irregular wear develops.
Please refer to Scheduled maintenance
for your tire rotation interval.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.

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

Also, inspect them for uneven wear
and damage. Abnormal wear is usually
caused by one or a combination of the
following:
Incorrect tire pressureImproper wheel alignmentOut-of-balance wheelSevere braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures
to specification (page 9-7) and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.

Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could
result in engine-starting problems or
damage to electrical parts.
 When washing and waxing the
vehicle, be careful not to apply
excessive force to any single area of
the vehicle roof or the antenna.
Otherwise, you could dent the
vehicle or damage the antenna.
 Make sure that the fuel-filler lid is
closed and lock the doors.
Otherwise, the fuel-filler lid may be
forcefully opened by water pressure
causing damage to the vehicle or
fuel-filler lid.
To help protect the finish from rust and
deterioration, wash your Mazda
thoroughly and frequently, at least
once a month, with lukewarm or cold
water.

If the vehicle is washed improperly, the
paint surface could be scratched. Here
are some examples of how scratching
could occur.

Scratches occur on the paint surface
when:
The vehicle is washed without first
rinsing off dirt and other foreign
matter.
The vehicle is washed with a rough,
dry, or dirty cloth.
The vehicle is washed at a car wash
that uses brushes that are dirty or too stiff.
Cleansers or wax containing
abrasives are used.
NOTE
Mazda is not responsible for
scratches caused by automatic car
washes or improper washing.
Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint finishes.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint finish:
Rinse off any dirt or other foreign
matter using lukewarm or cold water
before washing.
Use plenty of lukewarm or cold
water and a soft cloth when washing
the vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
Rub gently when washing or drying
the vehicle.
Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well
maintained.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.
CAUTION
 Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, or strong detergents
containing highly alkaline or caustic
agents on chrome-plated or
anodized aluminum parts. This may
damage the protective coating; also,
cleaners and detergents may discolor
or deteriorate the paint.
Pay special attention to removing salt,
dirt, mud, and other foreign material
from the underside of the fenders, and
make sure the drain holes in the lower
edges of the doors and rocker panels
are clean.

Insects, tar, tree sap, bird droppings,
industrial fallout, and similar deposits
can damage the finish if not removed
immediately. When prompt washing

▼Bright-Metal Maintenance
Use tar remover to remove road tar
and insects. Never do this with a
knife or similar tool.
To prevent corrosion on bright-metal
surfaces, apply wax or chrome
preservative and rub it to a high
luster.
During 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 anodized
aluminum parts. This may result in
damage to the protective coating and
cause discoloration or paint
deterioration.
▼Underbody Maintenance
Road chemicals and salt used for ice
and snow removal and solvents used
for dust control may collect on the
underbody. If not removed, they will
speed up rusting and deterioration of
such underbody parts as fuel lines,
frame,
floor pan, and exhaust system,
even though these parts may be coated
with anti-corrosive material.

Thoroughly flush the underbody and
wheel housings with lukewarm or cold
water at the end of each winter. Try
also to do this every month.

Pay special attention to these areas
because they easily hide mud and dirt.
It will do more harm than good to wet
down the road grime without
removing it.

The lower edges of doors, rocker
panels, and frame members have drain
holes that should not be clogged.
Water trapped there will cause rusting.
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.
▼ Aluminum Wheel Maintenance*
A protective coating is provided over
the aluminum 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 discolor
or stain the aluminum wheels.
NOTE
Do not use a wire brush or any
abrasive cleaner, polishing
compound, or solvent on aluminum
wheels. They may damage the
coating.
Always use a sponge or soft cloth to
clean the wheels.
