Parking in an Emergency
The hazard warning lights should always
be used when you stop on or near a
roadway in an emergency.

The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic hazard
and that they must take extreme caution
when near it.

Depress the hazard warning flasher and all
the turn signals will flash. The hazard
warning indicator ligh ts in the instrument
cluster flash simultaneously.
NOTE
The turn signals do not work when the
hazard warning lights are on.
Check local regulations about the use of
hazard warning lights while the vehicle
is being towed to verify that it is not in
violation of the law.

If the tire inflation pressure does not
increase, repair of the tire is not
possible. If the tire does not reach
the specified tire inflation pressure
within 10 minutes, it may have
received extensive damage. In this
case, the repair using the emergency
flat tire repair kit was not successful.
Contact an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
13. Adhere the speed restriction sticker to
an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.
14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to thewheel of the flat tire.
WARNING
Do not adhere the speed restriction
sticker to the padded area on the
steering wheel:
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel
is dangerous because the air bag may
not operate (deploy) normally resulting
in serious injury. In addition, do not
adhere the sticker to areas where
warning lights or the speedometer
cannot be viewed.
15. When the tire inflates to the specified tire inflation pressure, turn the air
compressor switch off, turn the sleeve
of the injection hose to the left, and
pull it out of the tire valve.
16. Remove the air compressor hose from
the injection valve of the bottle. After
that, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.
