6. Insert the jack lever and attach thelug wrench to tire jack.
7. Turn the jack handle clockwise andraise the vehicle high enough so
that the spare tire can be installed.
Before removing the lug nuts, make
sure your Mazda is firmly 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.
8. Remove the lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise; then
remove the wheel and center cap.
▼Locking Lug Nuts
If your Mazda is equipped with the
optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, a
special key must be used to unlock the
locking lug nut for each wheel. The key
is stored in the glove compartment,
center console storage, storage box, or
trunk. Register the key and lug nuts
with the lock manufacturer by filling
out the registration card and mailing it
in using the accompanying envelope. If
the key is lost, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer or use the lock
manufacturer’s order form to order a
new key.
Antitheft wheel lug nuts cannot be
installed on a steel wheel spare tire.
When installing a temporary spare tire,
use one of the original lug nuts in place
of the locking lug nut. The original lug
nuts are stored inside your Mazda.

▼Mounting the Spare Tire
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 lug nuts are
clean before changing or replacing
tires:
When changing or replacing a tire,
not removing dirt and grime from
the mounting surfaces of the wheel,
hub and hub bolts is dangerous.
The lug nuts could loosen while
driving and cause the tire to come
off, resulting in an accident.
2. Mount the spare tire.
3. Install the lug nuts with the beveled edge inward; tighten them by hand.
WARNING
Do not apply oil or grease to lug
nuts and bolts and do not tighten

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.
6. Remove the center cap by tapping it from the backside of the wheel
using the lug wrench.
7. Store the damaged and/or flat tire in the rear cargo area.
8. Remove the tire blocks and store the tools and jack.
9. Check the inflation pressure. Refer to Tires on page 9-7.
10.Have the flat tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not drive with any tires that have
incorrect air pressure:
Driving on tires with incorrect air
pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect
handling and result in an accident.
When you check the regular tires' air
pressure, check the spare tire, too.
NOTE
To prevent the jack and tool from
rattling, store them properly.

▼Towing Description
We recommend that towing be done
only by an Authorized Mazda Dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Particularly when towing an AWD
vehicle, where all the wheels are
connected to the drive train, proper
transporting of the vehicle is absolutely
essential to avoid damaging the drive
system. Government and local laws
must be followed.
1. Wheel dollies
A towed FWD vehicle should have its
drive wheels (front wheels)
off the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.
When towing a FWD vehicle with the
rear wheels on the ground, release the
parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-68.
A towed AWD vehicle must have all its
wheels off the ground.
WARNING
Always tow an AWD vehicle with all
four wheels off the ground:
Towing an AWD vehicle with either the
front or rear wheels on the ground is
dangerous as the drive train could be
damaged, or the vehicle could trail
away from the tow truck and cause an
accident. If the drive train has been
damaged, transport the vehicle on a
flatbed truck.
CAUTION
Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the transmission.
Do not tow with sling-type
equipment. This could damage your
vehicle. Use wheel-lift or
flatbed
equipment.

If the parking brake cannot be
released when towing the vehicle,
transport the vehicle with all front
and rear wheels raised off the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels
off the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.

Tiedown Hooks*
▼ Tiedown Hooks
CAUTION
Do not use the front and rear tiedown
eyelets for towing the vehicle.
They have been designed only for
securing the vehicle to a transport
vessel during shipping.
Using the eyelets for any other purpose
could result in the vehicle being
damaged.
1. Remove the tiedown eyelet and the
lug wrench from the luggage
compartment (page 7-3).
2. Wrap a flathead screwdriver or similar tool with a soft cloth to
prevent damage to a painted
bumper, and open the cap located
on the front or rear bumper.

▼ Electronic Brake Force Distribution
System Warning
If the electronic brake force
distribution control unit determines
that some components are operating
incorrectly, the control unit may
illuminate the brake system warning
light and the ABS warning light
simultaneously. The problem is likely to
be the electronic brake force
distribution system.
WARNING
Do not drive with both the brake
system warning light and ABS warning
light illuminated. Have the vehicle
towed to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer to have the brakes inspected as
soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning
light and ABS warning light are
illuminated simultaneously is
dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the
rear wheels could lock more quickly in
an emergency stop than under normal
circumstances.

▼ Power Steering Malfunction
Indication/Indicator Light
The message is displayed if the electric
power steering has a malfunction.
If the message is displayed, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and do not
operate the steering wheel. There is no
problem if the indication turns off
when the engine is restarted after
some time has passed. If the indication
displays even after the engine is
restarted, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer if the message is
displayed continuously.
NOTE
If the message is displayed, the
power steering will not operate
normally. In this case, the steering
wheel can still be operated,
however, the operation may feel
heavy compared to normal, or the
steering wheel could vibrate when
turning.
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.
