Changing a Flat Tire
N O T E
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a À at tire.




y Steering becomes dif¿ cult.



y The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
 


y The vehicle pulls in one direction.
If you have a À at tire, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traf¿ c to change the tire.
Stopping in traf¿ c or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire:
Changing a tire 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.

N O T E
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.

1. Park on a 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.

Flat Tire
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 confi guration:
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.

5. Open the trunk/luggage compartment
mat.
