MAZDA CX90 2024 Owners Manual

Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Inspecting the Coolant on
page 9-14.
Inspect the battery and its cables.
Cold reduces battery capacity.
Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that
the vehicle will be driven in (page
9-18).
Inspect the ignition system for
damage and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 9-17).
When driving on ice or in water, snow,
mud, sand, or similar hazards:
Be cautious and allow extra distance
for braking.
Avoid sudden braking and sudden
maneuvering.
Do not pump the brakes. Continue
to press down on the brake pedal.
Refer to Antilock Brake System (ABS)
on page 5-84.
If you get stuck, select a lower gear
and accelerate slowly. Do not spin
the rear wheels.
For more traction in starting on
slippery surfaces such as ice or
packed snow, use sand, rock salt,
chains, carpeting, or other nonslip
material under the rear wheels.
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.

Snow Tires
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all 4
wheels:
Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
Use snow tires on all 4 wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
When installing winter tires, use tires of
the specified size and adjust the air
pressure of all the tires to the specified
value. (page 10-71).

The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may find it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.
Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using
tire chains.
CAUTION
 Chains may aff ect handling.
 Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30
mph) or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is
lower.
 Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.
 Avoid locked-wheel braking.
 Do not use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.
 Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.
 Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tire chains.
Install the chains on the rear tires only.
Do not use chains on the front tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Installing the chains
1. Secure the chains on the rear tires
as tightly as possible. Always follow
the chain manufacturer's
instructions.
2. Retighten the chains after driving 1/2 ―1 km (1/4 ―1/2 mile).
