Changing a Flat Tire
▼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.
1. Antitheft lug nut
2. Special key
To remove an antitheft lug nut
1. Obtain the special key for the antitheft lug nut.
2. Place the special key on top of the antitheft lug nut, and be sure to
hold the key square to it. If you
hold the key at an angle, you may
damage both key and nut. Do not
use a power impact wrench.
3. Place the lug wrench on top of the key and apply pressure. Turn the
wrench counterclockwise.
To install the antitheft lug nut
1. Place the special key on top of the

▼Towing Description
If your vehicle stops operating and
needs to be towed, 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.
Government and local laws must be
followed.

A towed vehicle usually should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) o
ff the
ground. If excessive damage or other
conditions prevent this, use wheel
dollies.
1. Wheel dollies

When towing with the rear wheels on
the ground, release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-52.
CAUTION
 Do not tow the vehicle pointed
backward with driving wheels on the
ground. This may cause internal
damage to the vehicle.
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 o ff the ground
as shown in the figure. If the vehicle
is towed without raising the wheels o ff the ground, the brake system
could be damaged.

MX -30_8JD4-EA -21G_Edition2_new 2021-5-18 14:38:07

When towing a vehicle, transport it
with both front wheels raised o ff the
ground or with all front and rear
wheels raised o ff the ground.
If the vehicle is towed with the front
wheels grounded, the EV system may
be damaged.
This vehicle cannot be used to tow
other vehicles.
If towing service is not available in an
emergency, the vehicle may be towed
with all four wheels on the ground
using the tiedown hook at the front of
the vehicle.
If the vehicle has to be towed by rope
to move it such as in an emergency,
tow the vehicle in as short a distance
as possible such as to the transport
vehicle or to get unstuck. Otherwise,
the EV transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
CAUTION
Follow these instructions when towing
the vehicle with all wheels on the
ground.
 Shift to the N position.
 Start the EV system.
 Release the parking brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB)
on page 4-52.
In the following cases, do not tow the
vehicle with rope. Otherwise, the EV
transaxle or EV system could be
damaged.
 The EV system does not start.
 The shift control system warning
indication/warning light displays/
turns on.
Do not stop the EV system while the
vehicle is being towed. Otherwise, the
parking lock may engage which could
lead to an accident.
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

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
