jack MAZDA MODEL CX-50 2023 Owners Manual

▼Trailer Towing Tips
Verify that your Mazda maintains a near-normal attitude when a loaded or
unloaded trailer is connected. Do not drive if it has an abnormal front-up or
front-down position. Inspect for incorrec
t tongue load, worn suspension parts,
and trailer overloading.
Make sure the trailer is properly loaded and the cargo is secure to prevent it from
shifting.
Make sure the mirrors conform to all govern ment regulations. If they do not, install
required rear view mirrors appropriate for towing purposes.
The three main causes of vehicle-trailer accidents are driver error, excessive speed,
and improper trailer loading.
Before driving
Have your cooling and braking system checked by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.Before starting out, inspect the operation of all vehicle and trailer lights and all
vehicle-to-trailer connections. Stop and re-inspect all lights and connections after
driving a short distance.
Driving
Your Mazda will handle differently with a trailer in tow, so practice turning,
backing, and stopping in a traffic-free area.
Take time to get accustomed to the extra weight and length.Allow more room between your vehicle and the one in front because braking
distance increases with a trailer. For each 16 km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at
least one vehicle and trailer length between your Mazda and the vehicle ahead.
Avoid jerky starts or sudden acceleration.Avoid sudden braking. It may cause loss of control and result in jackknifing ,
especially so on wet or slippery roads.
Shift the selector lever to the D position when towing a trailer in hilly terrain or
when heavily loaded.
The D position will allow operating the vehicle without frequent shifting.
Lane changes and turning
Avoid quick lane changes, su dden turns, and tight turns. Slow down before turning
to avoid the need of sudden braking.
A turning trailer will make a tighter arc than the tow vehicle. Compensate with turns
that are larger than normal.
Pa s s i n g
Plan well ahead to pass other vehicles, and provide plenty of room before changing
lanes. Crosswinds from passing vehicles, especially larger ones, and the effects of
rough roads will affect handling.
If swaying occurs, firmly grip the steering wheel and reduce speed immediately, but
gradually.

▼Spare Tire
Your Mazda has a temporary spare tire.
The temporary spare tire is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tire, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tires should
NEVER be used fo
r long drives or
extended periods.
WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare tire
on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tire
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound roads,
and have an accident. Move a regular
tire to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tire to the rear.

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 slowly 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.
WARNING
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 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.

wood blocks of sufficient size if
possible to hold the tire in place.
▼Removing a Flat Tire
WARNING
When jacking-up a vehicle, always
shift the selector lever to P position,
apply the parking brake, and place
wheel blocks in the position
diagonally opposed to the jack:
Changing a flat tire without using
wheel blocks is dangerous because the
vehicle may move and fall off the jack
even with the selector lever is in P
position, which could result in an
accident.
1. Loosen the lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise one turn each,
but do not remove any lug nuts
until the tire has been raised off the
ground.

NOTE
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.
For details, refer to the Locking Lug
Nuts on page 7-8.

under the jack is dangerous as it
could deform the vehicle body or
the vehicle could fall off the jack
resulting in an accident.
Use only the jack provided with
your Mazda:
Using a jack that is not designed for
your Mazda is dangerous. The
vehicle could slip off the jack and
seriously injure someone.
Never place objects under the
jack:
Jacking the vehicle with an object
under the jack is dangerous. The
jack could slip and someone could
be seriously injured by the jack or
the falling vehicle.

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.

▼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
the lug nuts beyond the
recommended tightening torque:
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts
and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and
cause the tire to come off, resulting
in an accident. In addition, lug nuts
and bolts could be damaged if
tightened more than necessary.

Nut tightening torque
N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf) 108―
147 (12― 14,
80 ―108)
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.
