Flat Tyre
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.
