Changing a Flat Tire
▼Changing a Flat Tire
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a flat tire.
Steering becomes difficult.
The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
The vehicle pulls in one direction.
If you have a flat tire, drive sl owly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.
WA R N I N G
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 th at 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 hard, level surface off the right-of-way and firm ly set the parking
brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic transmission in Park (P), a manual
transmission in Reverse (R) or 1, and
turn off the engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle and away from the vehicle and traffic.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tire
(page 7-3).
6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite the flat tire. When blocking a wheel,
place a tire block both in front and
behind the tire.
NOTE
When blocking a tire, use rocks or
wood blocks of sufficient size if
possible to hold the tire in place.

2. Turn off the engine and wait 5 minutesfor the oil to drain back into the oil
pan.
3. Inspect the engi ne oil level (page
6-16). If it's low, add the appropriate
amount of engine oil while being
careful not to overfill.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil level is
low. Otherwise, it could result in
extensive engine damage.
4. Start the engine and check the warning light.

If the light remains illuminated even
though the oil level is normal or after
adding oil, stop the engine immediately
and have your vehicle towed to an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Repeatedly jerking the steering wheel
left and right while the vehicle is
stopped or moving extremely slowly will
cause the power steering system to go
into protective mode which will make
the steering feel heavy, but this does not
indicate a problem. If this occurs, park
the vehicle safely and wait several
minutes for the system to return to
normal.
▼ABS Warning Indication/Warning
Light
If the ABS warning light stays on while
you're driving, the ABS control unit has

as if the vehicle had no ABS.
Should this happen, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
NOTE
When the engine is jump-started to
charge the battery, uneven rpm occurs
and the ABS warning light may
illuminate. If this occurs, it is the result
of the weak battery and does not
indicate an ABS malfunction.
Recharge the battery.

WA R N I N G
Never tamper with the air bag/
pretensioner systems and always have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer perform all
servicing and repairs:
Self-servicing or tampering with the
systems is dangerous. An air bag/
pretensioner could accidentally activate or
become disabled causing serious injury or
death.
▼Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Flashing)
If there is a problem w
ith the TPMS or the
voltage of a tire pressure sensor decreases,
the TPMS warning light flashes and a
message is displayed on the
multi-information display. Have your
vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
WA R N I N G
Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds if
the TPMS warning light turns on or flashes:
Driving the vehicle at high speeds while the
TPMS warning light is turned on or flashing
is dangerous because the brake
performance and the steering wheel
operability will be reduced. If the vehicle is
driven at high speeds or the brakes are
suddenly applied, it could lead to an
accident. Gradually apply the brakes to
lower the vehicle's speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/flashing of the
TPMS warning light is dangerous because a
tire may burst which could lead to an
accident. Take appropriate measures as
soon as possible.
▼ KEY Warning Indication/Warning

“Keyless Entry System Malfunction.
Have the Vehicle Inspected” is displayed
This message is displayed if the advanced
keyless entry & push button start system
has a problem.
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
If the message is indicated, or the push
button start indicator light (amber)
flashes,
the engine may not start. If the engine

▼ Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Turns on)
If a tire pressure d
ecreases below the
specified air pressure, the TPMS warning
light turns on.
At the same time, a message and the tire
pressure of each tire are displayed on the
multi-information disp lay alternately. In
addition, the tire (s) with low air pressure
is displayed in yellow.
WA R N I N G
Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds if
the TPMS warning light turns on or flashes:
Driving the vehicle at high speeds while the
TPMS warning light is turned on or flashing
is dangerous because the brake
performance and the steering wheel
operability will be reduced. If the vehicle is
driven at high speeds or the brakes are
suddenly applied, it could lead to an
accident. Gradually apply the brakes to
lower the vehicle's speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/flashing of the
TPMS warning light is dangerous because a
tire may burst which could lead to an
accident. Take appropriate measures as
soon as possible.
NOTE
While the TPMS is learning the tire
positions, such as immediately after a tire
position has been changed, the tire
pressure at the tire position prior to it
being changed is displayed until the
system completes the learning. For this
reason, the tire pressures displayed for the
tire positions may be different from the
actual tire pressures at the tire positions.
Action to be taken
Adjust the tire pressu res to the appropriate
pressures.
Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure on page
6-30.

Tire Maintenance
▼Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important
maintenance points:
▼Tire Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire pressure monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, top handling, and minimum
tire wear. Use the p
ressures specified on
the vehicle tire information placard or tire
label for optimum service.
▼ Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires
every 16,000 km (10,000 miles) at the
latest or sooner if irregular wear develops.
Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000
km (5,000 miles) to help increase tire life
and distribute wear more evenly.
1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Inspect the tires fo
r uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combinati on of the following:
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9- 9) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tire performance will be weakened
if rotated from side to side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WA R N I N G
Always use tires that are in good condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
