Lead-acid Battery
▼Lead-acid Battery
WARNING
Read the following precautions
carefully before using the lead-acid
battery or inspecting to ensure safe
and correct handling:
Always wear eye protection
when working near the lead-acid
battery:
Working without eye protection is
dangerous. Lead-acid battery fluid
contains SULFURIC ACID which could
cause blindness if splashed into your
eyes. Also, hydrogen gas produced
during normal lead-acid battery
operation, could ignite and cause the
lead-acid battery to explode.
Wear eye protection and
protective gloves to prevent contact
with lead-acid battery fluid:
Spilled lead-acid battery fluid is
dangerous.
Lead-acid battery fluid contains
SULFURIC ACID which could cause
serious injuries if it gets in eyes, or on
the skin or clothing. If this happens,
immediately flush your eyes with water
for 15 minutes or wash your skin
thoroughly and get medical attention.
Always keep lead-acid batteries
out of the reach of children:
Allowing children to play near
lead-acid batteries is dangerous.
Lead-acid battery fluid could cause
serious injuries if it gets in the eyes or
on the skin.
Keep flames and sparks away
from open lead-acid battery cells and
do not allow metal tools to contact
the positive (+) or negative (-)
terminal of the lead-acid battery
when working near a lead-acid
battery. Do not allow the positive (+)
terminal to contact the vehicle body:
Flames and sparks near open lead-acid
battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen
gas, produced during normal lead-acid
battery operation, could ignite and
cause the lead-acid battery to explode.
An exploding lead-acid battery can
cause serious burns and injuries. Keep
all flames including cigarettes and
sparks away from open lead-acid
battery cells.

Keep all flames and sparks
away from open lead-acid battery
cells because hydrogen gas is
produced from open lead-acid battery
cells while charging the lead-acid
battery or adding lead-acid battery
fl uid:

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.
