Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
NOTE
(Without temporary spare tyre)
Because your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tyre, you cannot do a tyre
rotation safely with the jack that comes
with your vehicle. Have an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer perform tyre rotation.
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)
spare tyre in rotation.Forward
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
 


 Incorrect tyre pressure



 Improper wheel alignment



 Out-of-balance wheel



 Severe braking
After rotation, infl ate all tyre pressures to
specifi cation (page 9-13 ) and inspect the
wheel nuts for tightness.
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 4-164 .
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tyres and radial
tyres that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tyre performance
will be reduced if rotated from side to
side.
Replacing a Tyre
WARNING
Always use tyres that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tyres is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.
Replace all four tyres at the same time:
Replacing just one tyre is dangerous.
It could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tyres at the
same time.

WARNING
Do not replace the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself:
Replacing the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself is dangerous. Because the
xenon fusion bulbs require high
voltage, you could receive an electric
shock if the bulbs are handled
incorrectly. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer when the replacement is
necessary.
Never touch the glass portion of a
halogen bulb with your bare hands
and always wear eye protection when
handling or working around the bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurised gas. If one is broken, it will
explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the fl ying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with bare
hands, body oil could cause the bulb to
overheat and explode when lit.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of the
reach of children:
Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or
breaking it some other way.
NOTE
  To replace the bulb, contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  If the halogen bulb is accidentally
touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
  Use the protective cover and carton
for the replacement bulb to dispose
of the old bulb promptly and out of
the reach of children.
Replacing Exterior Light Bulbs
Headlights (With xenon fusion
headlights)
Low/High beam bulbs
You cannot replace the low/high beam
bulbs by yourself. The bulbs must
be replaced at an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
Headlights (With halogen headlights)
Low-beam bulbs
1. If you are changing the right bulb, start
the engine, turn the steering wheel all
the way to the left, and turn off engine.
If you are changing the left bulb, turn
the steering wheel to the right, and turn
off engine.
2. Make sure the headlight switch is off.

NOTE
LED bulb replacement is not possible
because it is built into the unit. Replace
the unit.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
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.
14. When the tyre infl ates to the specifi ed
tyre infl ation pressure, turn the air
compressor switch OFF, turn the sleeve
of the injection hose to the left, and pull
it out of the tyre valve. Turn the sleeve
of the injection hose to the left, and pull
it out of the tyre valve.
15. Remove the 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.
CAUTION
The remaining sealant in the hose may
spray out when the hose is removed.
Remove the hose carefully because you
may not be able to remove the sealant
contacting clothing or other objects.
16. Install the tyre valve cap.
17. Put the puncture tyre repair kit into the
boot/luggage compartment.
18. Start driving immediately to spread the
sealant in the tyre.
CAUTION
Carefully drive the vehicle at a speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) or less. If the vehicle
is driven at a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph)
or more, the vehicle may vibrate.
NOTE
(With Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
If the tyre is not properly infl ated, the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light will illuminate (page 4-40 ).
19. After driving the vehicle for about 10
minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect
the air compressor to the tyre using
Step 9 of the procedure, and check the
tyre infl ation pressure using the tyre
pressure gauge on the air compressor. If
the tyre infl ation pressure is lower than
the specifi ed tyre infl ation pressure,
turn the air compressor ON and wait
until it reaches the specifi ed tyre
infl ation pressure.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
Changing a Flat Tyre
(With spare tyre)
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a fl at tyre.


 Steering becomes diffi cult. 
 The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
  The vehicle pulls in one direction.

If you have a fl at tyre, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffi c to change the tyre.
Stopping in traffi c or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tyre:
Changing a tyre is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure someone.
No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:
Allowing someone to remain in
a vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause
the vehicle to fall resulting in serious
injury.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.
1. Park on a level surface off the right-of-
way and fi 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 fl asher.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traffi c.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tyre
(page 7-3 ).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite
the fl 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 suffi cient size if possible
to hold the tyre in place.
