Before Driving Your Mazda
Form No. 8Q47-EA-01F
Driving Tips
No special break-in is necessary, but a few
precautions in the first 1,000 km (600
miles) may add to the performance,
economy, and life of your Mazda.
•Don’t race the engine.
•Don’t maintain one constant speed for
long.
•Don’t drive constantly at full-throttle or
high engine rpm for extended periods
of time.
•Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
•Avoid full-throttle starts.How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save money on
fuel and repairs.
•Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.
•Avoid fast starts.
•Keep the engine tuned. Follow the
maintenance schedule (page 8-3) and
have an Authorized Mazda Dealer
perform inspections and servicing.
•Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
•Slow down on rough roads.
•Keep the tires properly inflated.
•Don’t carry unnecessary weight.
•Don’t rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
•Keep the wheels in correct alignment.
•Keep windows closed at high speeds.
•Slow down when driving in crosswinds
and headwinds.
Break-In PeriodMoney-Saving Suggestions
Coasting:
Turning off the engine to coast down
a hill is dangerous. This causes the
loss of power steering and power
brake control. Any loss of steering or
braking control could cause an
accident. Never turn off the engine
and coast down a hill.

4. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise
and lower the vehicle. Use the lug
wrench to tighten the nuts in the order
shown.
If you’re unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at a
service station.
Nut tightening torque:
5. Store the damaged tire in the trunk.
Have the damaged tire repaired as
soon as possible.
N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf) 88—117 (9—12, 65—87)
Loose 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. Always securely and
correctly tighten the lug nuts.
Metric Studs and Lug Nuts:
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. Be sure to
reinstall the same nuts you removed
or replace them with metric nuts of
the same configuration.
Incorrect Tire Air Pressure:
Driving on tires with incorrect air
pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect
handling and result in an accident.
Don’t drive with any tires that have
incorrect air pressure. 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.

In Case of an Emergency
Emergency Starting
Form No. 8Q47-EA-01F
If all four wheels are on the ground, the
vehicle may be towed only forward.
Don’t exceed 56 km/h (35 mph) and a
distance of 80 km (50 miles) ; you could
damage the transaxle.
If speed must exceed 56 km/h (35 mph) or
a towing distance of 80 km (50 miles), use
one of these methods:
•Place the front wheels on dollies.
•Tow with the front wheels off the
ground.
•Transport the vehicle on a flat bed
truck.
Towing Hook-Front
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
1. Shift to neutral.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC
position.
3. Release the parking brake.
Remember that power assist for the
brakes and steering will not be
available when the engine is not
running.
CAUTION
Towing/Tiedown Hooks
•The towing hook should be used
only in an emergency (to get the
vehicle out of a ditch or a snow
bank, for example).
•When using the towing hook,
always pull the cable or chain in a
straight direction with respect to the
hook. Apply no sideways force.
•Don’t use the tiedown hooks under
the front for towing.
They are designed ONLY for tying
down the vehicle when it’s being
transported. Using them for towing
will damage the bumper.
