Adjusting the audio while driving the
vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the
vehicle operation which could lead to
a serious accident. Always adjust the
audio while the vehicle is stopped.
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust
the audio volume to a level that allows
you to hear sounds outside of the
vehicle.
NOTE
•Do not use the audio for long
periods of time while the engine is
off. Otherwise the battery could go
dead.

extended periods.

Flat Tire
Form No. 8S06-EA-03H
To remove the spare tire
1. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traffic.
2. For side-spoiler equipped vehicles,
remove the fasteners on both sides of
the spoiler cap by turning them
counterclockwise.
Pull the spoiler cap out. To avoid damage to the temporary
spare or to the vehicle, observe the
following precautions:
•Don’t exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
•Avoid driving over obstacles.
Also, don’t drive through an
automatic car wash. This tire’s
diameter is smaller than a
conventional tire’s, so the ground
clearance is reduced about 25 mm
(1 in).
•Don’t use a tire chain on this tire
because it won’t fit properly.
•Don’t use your temporary spare on
any other vehicle; it has been
designed only for your Mazda.
•Do not tow a trailer while using this
tire.
•Use only one temporary spare tire
on your vehicle at the same time.CAUTION
NOTE
After installing the side spoiler cap,
make sure it is securely attached.

Carrier Placement for the Specialized
Temporary Spare Tire:
Placing the specialized temporary
spare tire in the spare tire carrier
wrong side up or using any tire other
than the small temporary spare tire
designed for use with this vehicle is
dangerous. It will result in poor
attachment and insufficient ground
clearance in the spare tire carrier and
the danger of the tire falling off. This
could result in someone being badly
injured or even killed.
Place the specialized temporary spare
tire in the spare tire carrier correctly.
Applying excessive lateral force while
the spare tire lever is attached may
result in damage to the socket.
NOTE
Unless the cable is rolled up
completely, the spare tire lever cannot
be removed from the socket.

4. Turn the lug wrench counterclockwise
and lower the vehicle. Use the lug
wrench to tighten the nuts in the order
shown.

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.
