*Some models.
Ty r e s
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tyre inÀ ation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WARNING
Using Different Tyre Types:
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tyres is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tyre, use only the same
type tyres (radial, bias-belted, bias-type)
on all four wheels.

Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is
speci¿ ed for the vehicle (page 9-10 )
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance,
tyre clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tyres that
are the correct size speci¿ ed for the
vehicle.
Ty r e I nÀ ation Pressure
WARNING
Always inÀ ate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
OverinÀ ation or underinÀ ation of tyres
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in
a serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-10 .

Use only a Mazda-genuine tyre valve
cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous
as the correct tyre air pressure cannot
be maintained if the tyre valve becomes
damaged. If the vehicle is driven under
this condition, the tyre air pressure
will decrease which could result in a
serious accident. Do not use any part
for the tyre valve cap that is not a
Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tyre pressures monthly
(including the spare
* ) when the tyres are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
Refer to the speci¿ cation charts (page
9-10 ).
(With tyre pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tyre pressure,
initialization of the tyre pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-192 .

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
*Some models.
Use the temporary spare tyre only until
the conventional tyre is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.

Refer to Tyre on page 9-10 .
CAUTION
  Do not use your temporary spare
tyre rim with a snow tyre or a
conventional tyre. Neither will
properly ¿ t and could damage both
tyre and rim.
  The temporary spare tyre has a tread
life of less than 5,000 km (3,000
miles). The tread life may be shorter
depending on driving conditions.
  The temporary spare tyre is for
limited use, however, if the tread
wear solid-band indicator appears,
replace the tyre with the same type of
temporary spare (page 6-46 ).
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 affected, leading to loss of
control and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
affect:
 
 Tyre ¿ t 
 Wheel and bearing life 
 Ground clearance 
 Snow-chain clearance 
 Speedometer calibration 
 Headlight aim 
 Bumper height 
 Tyre 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 expert
repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Proper tyre balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tyres can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and À at spots.

7–17
If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.
1. Park on a hard, level surface off the
right-of-way and ¿ rmly set the parking
brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle in Park (P), a manual
transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn
off the engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning À asher.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traf¿ c.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tyre
(page 7-3 ).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite
the À at tyre. When blocking a wheel,
place a tyre block both in front and
behind the tyre.


NOTE
When blocking a tyre, use rocks or
wood blocks of suf¿ cient size if possible
to hold the tyre in place.
Removing a Flat Tyre
1. If your vehicle is equipped with a
wheel cover, pry off the wheel cover
with the bevelled end of the jack lever.



NOTE
Force the end of the jack lever ¿ rmly
between wheel and cover, or removal
will be dif¿ cult.

Warning Light
* The light remains turned on if there is a problem with the system. Have your vehicle
inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
If the windscreen area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is fogged or
obstructed, the light turns on temporarily. If the light remains turned on, there may be a
problem with the system.


Lane Departure
Warning System
(LDWS) Warning
Light
*
The warning light remains turned on if there is a problem with the system. Have your
vehicle inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

The LDWS does not operate when the warning light illuminates.
CAUTION
A problem in the system may be indicated under the following conditions. Have your
vehicle inspected at an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

When the light remains turned on while driving the vehicle.
When the system is cancelled automatically, the light turns on. Normally, the system
restores automatically and the light turns off, however, if the light remains turned on,
there may be a problem with the system.

The light does not illuminate when the ignition is switched ON.
Always use tyres for all wheels that are of the speci¿ ed size, and the same
manufacture, brand, and tread pattern. In addition, do not use tyres with signi¿ cantly
different wear patterns on the same vehicle. If such improper tyres are used, the
LDWS may not operate normally.

When an emergency spare tyre is used, the system may not operate normally.
NOTE
If the windscreen area in front of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is fogged or
obstructed, the light turns on temporarily. If the light remains turned on, there may be a
problem with the system.

The light turns on while driving the vehicle.
NOTE
If the vehicle is driven on a road with less traf¿ c and few vehicles that the radar sensors
can detect, the system may pause (The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator
light in the instrument cluster illuminates). However, it does not indicate a malfunction.
