Removing a Flat Tire
WARNING
When jacking-up a vehicle, always
shift the selector lever to P position,
apply the parking brake, and place
wheel blocks in the position
diagonally opposed to the jack.
Changing a flat tire without using
wheel blocks is dangerous because the
vehicle may move and fall off the jack
even with the selector lever is in P
position, which could result in an
accident.
1. Loosen the lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise one turn each,
but do not remove any lug nuts
until the tire has been raised off the
ground.
NOTE
If your Mazda is equipped with the
optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, a
special key must be used to unlock
the locking lug nut for each wheel.
For details, refer to “Locking Lug
Nuts” below.
2. Place the jack on the ground.
3. Turn the jack screw in the direction shown in the figure and adjust the
jack head so that it is close to the
jack-up position.
4. Place the jack under the jack-upposition closest to the tire being
changed with the jack head
squarely under the jack-up point.
5. Continue raising the jack headgradually by rotating the screw with
your hand until the jack head is
inserted into the jack-up position.

Do not start the engine or shake
the vehicle while it is jacked up.
Starting the engine or shaking the
vehicle while it is jacked up is
dangerous as it could cause the
vehicle to fall off the jack resulting
in an accident.
Never go under the vehicle while it
is jacked up.
Going under the vehicle while it is
jacked up is dangerous as it could
result in death or serious injury if
the vehicle were to fall off the jack.
8. Remove the lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise; then
remove the wheel and center cap.
Locking Lug Nuts
If your Mazda is equipped with the
optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, a
special key must be used to unlock the
locking lug nut for each wheel. The key
is stored in the glove compartment,
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.

hold the key at an angle, you may
damage both key and nut. Do not
use a power impact wrench.
3. Place the lug wrench on top of the key and apply pressure. Turn the

Mounting the Spare Tire
1. Remove dirt and grime from themounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub, including the hub bolts, with a
cloth.
WARNING
Make sure the mounting surfaces
of the wheel, hub and lug nuts are
clean before changing or replacing
tires.
When changing or replacing a tire,
not removing dirt and grime from
the mounting surfaces of the wheel,
hub and hub bolts is dangerous.
The lug nuts could loosen while
driving and cause the tire to come
off, resulting in an accident.
2. Mount the spare tire.
3. Install the lug nuts with the beveled edge inward; tighten them by hand.
WARNING
Do not apply oil or grease to lug
nuts and bolts and do not tighten
the lug nuts beyond the
recommended tightening torque.
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts
and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and
cause the tire to come off, resulting
in an accident. In addition, lug nuts
and bolts could be damaged if
tightened more than necessary.
4. Turn the lug wrench
counterclockwise and lower the
vehicle.
5. Use the lug wrench to tighten the nuts in the order shown.
If you are unsure of how tight the

WARNING
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.

If the brake system warning light and
the ABS warning light
turn on at
the same time, stop the vehicle in a
safe place immediately and contact an

The rear wheels could lock more
quickly in an emergency stop than
under normal circ umstances which
could result in an accident.
CAUTION
In addition, the effectiveness of the
braking may diminish so you may
need to depress the brake pedal
more strongly than normal to stop
the vehicle.
The brake warning light may turn on
when the hybrid system is started. In
this case, park the vehicle in a safe
location and release the brake pedal.
If the brake warning light remains

Electric Power SteeringWarning Light
The warning light turns on if the
electric power steering has a
malfunction.
If the warning light turns on, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and switch the
vehicle power OFF.
There is no problem if the warning light
turns off when the hybrid system is
restarted after some time has passed.
If the warning light turns on even after
the hybrid system is restarted, contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
If the warning light turns on, the
electric power steering will not
operate normally. In this case, the
steering wheel can still be operated,
however, the operation may feel
heavy compared to normal.
Repeatedly jerking the steering
wheel left and right while the vehicle
is stopped or moving extremely
slowly will cause the power steering
system to go into protective mode
which will make the steering feel
heavy, but this does not indicate a
problem. If this occurs, park the
vehicle safely and do not operate the
steering wheel. The system will
return to normal after a few minutes.
Shift System Warning Light
The light turns on if the shift system has
a problem.
Park the vehicle in a safe place
immediately and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Always apply the parking brake when
parking or stopping the vehicle, as it
may not be possible to hold the
vehicle in a stopped position even with
the selector lever in the P position.
In addition, the hybrid system may not
start again if it is stopped.
