Make sure luggage and cargo is
secured before driving:
Not securing cargo while driving is
dangerous as it could move or be
crushed during sudden braking or a
collision and cause injury. Use the loops in the luggage compartment

tensile strength of the loops is 196 N (20
kgf, 44 lbf). Do not apply excessive force
to the loops as it will damage them.

If you are unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Nut tightening torque
N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf) 89 ―117 (9 ―12, 66 ―86)
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 configuration: 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. Replace the cargo sub-compartment.
6. Remove the lid by pressing the two latches on the cargo sub-compartment.
7. Remove the belt for securing the flattire. 8. Return the third-row seatback to its
original position.
Refer to Fold the Third-Row Seat on
page 2-11.
9. Place the flat tire in the cargo sub- compartment.
10. Thread the belt through the wheel as shown in the figure, then attach the
belt clips to the cargo securing loops
on the back of the third-row seat.
