CAUTION
  Before pulling out the compressor
plug from the electrical socket, make
sure the compressor power switch is
off.
  The compressor turns on and off with
the push-button switch.
17. Turn the compressor switch on and
inÀ ate the tyre carefully to the correct
inÀ ation pressure.
WARNING
Never operate the compressor above
300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi):
Operating the compressor above
300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi) is
dangerous. When the inÀ ation pressure
rises above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
2 , 3 bar,
43.5 psi), heated air will be exhausted
from the back of the compressor and
you could be burned.
NOTE
  Check the tyre inÀ ation pressure
label (driver's door frame) for the
correct tyre inÀ ation pressure.

 Do not use the compressor for longer
than 10 minutes because using the
compressor for long periods could
damage it.
  If the tyre does not inÀ ate, repair
of the tyre may not be possible. If
the tyre does not reach the correct
inÀ ation pressure within a 10-minute
period, it probably has received more
extensive damage.
 When this happens, the emergency
À at tyre repair kit cannot be used
to repair the tyre. Contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
  If the tyre has been over-inÀ ated,
loosen the screw cap on the
compressor and bleed some of the air
out.
18. When the tyre has been inÀ ated to
the proper inÀ ation pressure, turn the
compressor switch off and remove the
compressor hose from the tyre valve.
19. Install the tyre valve cap.
20. Put the emergency À at tyre repair kit in
the luggage compartment and continue
driving.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
CAUTION
  Drive carefully to an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer and keep the vehicle speed
below 80 km/h (50 mph).
  If the vehicle is driven 80 km/h
(50 mph) or higher, the vehicle might
begin to vibrate.
NOTE
(With tyre pressure monitoring
system)
If the tyre is not properly inÀ ated, the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light will illuminate.
21. After driving the vehicle for 10 minutes
or 5 km (3 miles), check the tyre
pressure with the tyre pressure gauge
equipped with the compressor. If the
tyre pressure has fallen below the
correct tyre pressure, inÀ ate the tyre to
the correct pressure again following the
steps from number 16.
CAUTION
  If the tyre inÀ ation pressure falls
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm 2 or bar,
18.9 psi), repair cannot be done with
the repair kit. Park the vehicle on
a level surface off the right-of-way
and contact an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
  If the tyre inÀ ation pressure
continues to remain low after
repeating steps 15 to 21, park
the vehicle on a level surface off
the right-of-way and contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
When checking the tyre inÀ ation
pressure with the tyre pressure gauge
on the compressor unit, make sure the
compressor switch is turned off.
22. If the tyre inÀ ation pressure remains
stable, the tyre repair is complete.
Drive the vehicle with care to an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer to have the tyre
replaced.

7–29
If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
CAUTION
  A tyre that has been temporarily
repaired with the tyre sealant cannot
be reused. Mazda recommends
replacing the tyre with a new one.
  The wheel can be reused after any
sealant adhering to it is wiped off and
carefully inspected. However, replace
the tyre valve with a new one.
Inspecting the Emergency Flat
Tyre Repair Kit
Inspect the emergency À at tyre repair kit at
regular intervals.
 


 Check the tyre sealant period of
effective use.
 


 Check the operation of the tyre
compressor.

NOTE
The tyre sealant has a period of effective
use. Check the period of effective use
indicated on the bottle label and do not
use it if it has expired. Have the tyre
sealant replaced at an Authorised Mazda
Repairer before the period of effective
use has expired.
Changing a Flat Tyre
(With Spare Tyre)
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a À at tyre.


 Steering becomes dif¿ cult. 
 The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
  The vehicle pulls in one direction.
If you have a À at tyre, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traf¿ c to change the tyre.
Stopping in traf¿ 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 hard, level surface off the
right-of-way and ¿ 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 À asher.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traf¿ c.
5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tyre
