Tires
▼Tires
For reasons of proper performance,
safety, and better energy
effi ciency,
always maintain recommended tire
in flation pressures and stay within the
recommended load limits and weight
distribution.
WARNING
Using Di fferent Tire Types:
Driving your vehicle with di fferent
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
speci fied for the vehicle (page 9-5)
is dangerous. It could seriously a ffect
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 speci fied for the
vehicle.
▼ Tire In
flation Pressure
WARNING
Always in flate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overin flation or underinfl ation of tires
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 9-5.
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 when
the tires are cold. Maintain
recommended pressures for the best
ride, handling , and minimum tire
wear.
Refer to the speci fication charts (page
9-5).
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.
Underin flation can cause reduced
energy e fficiency, uneven and
accelerated tire wear, and poor
sealing of the tire bead, which will
deform the wheel and cause
separation of tire from rim.
Overin flation 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 in flating, 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.
NOTE
Because your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, you cannot do a tire
rotation safely with the jack that comes
with your vehicle. Have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer perform tire rotation.

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, in flate all tire pressures
to specifi cation on page 9-5 and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tire performance
will be reduced if rotated from side to
side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking , steering , and
traction could result in an accident.
Replace all four tires at the same
time:
Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tires at the
same time.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.

Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.
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. 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 8-21.
▼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
aff ected, leading to loss of control
and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
a ff ect:
 Tire fit
 Wheel and bearing life
 Ground clearance
 Snow-chain clearance
 Speedometer calibration
 Headlight aim
 Bumper height
 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
When replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the
original factory wheel in diameter,
rim width, and
offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

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

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.
Pa i n t C h i p p i n g
Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel
thrown in the air by another vehicle's
tires 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
The paint chipping zone varies with
the speed of the vehicle. For
example, when traveling at 90 km/h
(56 mph), the paint chipping zone is
50 m (164 ft).
In low temperatures a vehicle's
finish
hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
Chipped 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 a ffected 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

Before lifting the windshield wiper
blades o ff the windshield, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windshield wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
hood could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windshield
Wiper Blades (page 6-15) section for
the procedure on how to move the
windshield wiper blades to the
service position.
 When the power switch is switched
ON and the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position, the windshield
wipers may operate automatically in
the following cases:
 The area of the windshield above
the rain sensor is touched or wiped
with a cloth.
 The windshield or the rain sensor
area in the cabin is hit.
When the power switch is switched
ON and the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position, do not touch the
windshield or the windshield wipers
Otherwise, the windshield wipers
will operate automatically which
could catch your fingers or damage
the windshield wipers.
When removing ice or snow, or
cleaning the windshield, always
make sure the wiper lever is in the
OFF position.
 Do not spray water in the motor
compartment. Otherwise, it could
lead to an electrical shock resulting
in an accident.

Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/ flashing of
the TPMS warning light is dangerous
because a tire may burst which could
lead to an accident. Take appropriate
measures as soon as possible.
NOTE
While the TPMS is learning the tire
positions, such as immediately after a
tire position has been changed, the tire
pressure at the tire position prior to it
being changed is displayed until the
system completes the learning. For this
reason, the tire pressures displayed for
the tire positions may be di fferent from
the actual tire pressures at the tire
positions.
Action to be taken
Adjust the tire pressures to the
appropriate pressures.
Refer to Tire In flation Pressure on page
6-23.
CAUTION
 Adjust the tire pressures while the
tires are cool. Because the air
pressure in the tires fluctuates
depending on the temperature,
before adjusting the tire pressures,
let the vehicle sit for an hour or drive
it only within a 1.6 km (1 mile)
distance. If the tire pressures are
adjusted while the tires are warm,
the tire pressures may decrease
below the specified air pressure after
cooling down which could turn on
the warning light. In addition,
because the air pressure in the tires
decreases when the ambient
temperature is low, if the ambient
temperature increases, an
illuminated TPMS warning light may
turn o ff. Under any circumstances,
always adjust the tire pressures while
the tires are cool.
 After adjusting the tire pressures, the
TPMS warning light turns o ff. If the
TPMS warning light does not turn off,
drive the vehicle at a speed of about
25 km (16 mph) or faster for 3
minutes or longer and make sure the
warning light turns off.
If the TPMS warning light remains on
even after adjusting the tire pressures,
one of the tires may have a puncture.

Uniform Tire Quality
Grading System (UTQGS)
▼ Uniform Tire Quality Grading
System (UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire
grading system developed by the U.S.
National Highway
Traffic Safety
Administration for grading tires by
tread wear, traction, and temperature
performance.
▼ Trea d Wea r
The tread wear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the
tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a speci
fied government
test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one-and-a-half times as well on
the government course as a tire graded
100.

The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of
their use, however, and may depart
signi ficantly from the norm because of
variations in driving habits, service
practices and di fferences in road
characteristics and climate.
▼ Traction-AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. These
grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on
speci
fied government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire
is based on braking (straight ahead)
traction tests and does not include
acceleration cornering (turning),
hydroplaning , or peak traction
characteristics.
▼ Temperature-A, B, C
The temperature grades A (the
highest), B, and C, represent the tire's
resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test
wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperatures can lead to sudden tire
failure.

Grade C corresponds to a level of
performance which all passenger
vehicle tires must meet under the
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109. Grades B and A represent
higher levels of performance on the
laboratory test wheel than the
minimum required by law.
