Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
If a tyre wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tyre when this happens.
New treadTread wear indicator
Worn tread
You should replace the tyre before the
band crosses the entire tread.
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 .
Temporary Spare Tyre *
Inspect the temporary spare tyre at least
monthly to make sure it is properly
infl ated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tyre condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tyre is easier to
handle because of its construction which
is lighter and smaller than a conventional
tyre. This tyre should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance. Use the temporary spare tyre only until
the conventional tyre is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tyre on page 9-13 .
CAUTION
  Do not use your temporary spare
tyre rim with a snow tyre or a
conventional tyre. Neither will
properly fi 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 6-48 ).
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.

Maintenance
 




 Always keep the jack clean.



 Make sure the moving parts are kept
free from dirt or rust.
 


 Make sure the screw thread is
adequately lubricated.
Spare Tyre *
Your Mazda has a temporary spare tyre.
The temporary spare tyre is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tyre, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tyres should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.
WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare tyre
on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tyre
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound roads,
and have an accident. Move a regular
tyre to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tyre to the rear.

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.

8. Turn the jack handle clockwise and
raise the vehicle high enough so that
the spare tyre can be installed. Before
removing the wheel nuts, make sure
your Mazda is fi rmly in position and
that it cannot slip or move.
WARNING
Do not jack up the vehicle higher than
is necessary:
Jacking up the vehicle higher than
is necessary is dangerous as it could
destabilize the vehicle resulting in an
accident.
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. 9. Remove the wheel nuts by turning
them anticlockwise; then remove the
wheel and centre cap.
Mounting the Spare Tyre
1. Remove dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub, including the hub bolts, with a
cloth.
WARNING
Make sure the mounting surfaces of
the wheel, hub and wheel nuts are
clean before changing or replacing
tyres:
When changing or replacing a tyre,
not removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub
and hub bolts is dangerous. The wheel
nuts could loosen while driving and
cause the tyre to come off, resulting in
an accident.

2. Mount the spare tyre.
3. Install the wheel nuts with the bevelled
edge inward; tighten them by hand.
WARNING
Do not apply oil or grease to wheel
nuts and bolts and do not tighten the
wheel nuts beyond the recommended
tightening torque:
Applying oil or grease to wheel nuts
and bolts is dangerous. The wheel nuts
could loosen while driving and cause
the tyre to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, wheel nuts and
bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary. 4. Turn the wheel brace anticlockwise and
lower the vehicle. Use the wheel brace
to tighten the nuts in the order shown.
If you are unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
WARNING
Always securely and correctly tighten
the wheel nuts:
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel
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 wheel
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. Remove the tyre blocks and store the
tools and jack.
6. Store the damaged tyre in the luggage
compartment.
7. Check the infl ation pressure. Refer to
Tyres on page 9-13 .
8. Have the fl at tyre repaired or replaced
as soon as possible.
NOTE
Do not press the tyre pressure
monitoring system set switch after
installing the spare tyre. The switch
is only to be pressed after installing
the repaired fl at tyre or installing a
replacement tyre (page 4-40 ).
WARNING
Do not drive with any tyres that have
incorrect air pressure:
Driving on tyres with incorrect air
pressure is dangerous. Tyres with
incorrect pressure could affect
handling and result in an accident.
When you check the regular tyres' air
pressure, check the spare tyre, too.
NOTE
To prevent the jack and tool from
rattling, store them properly.
