WARNING
Keep your vehicle's tires properly
inflated and not overloaded:
Driving with improperly inflated or
overloaded tires is dangerous.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or
excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure. The
temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
in flated and not overloaded.
These grades will be added to the
sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires
over the next several years according to
a schedule established by the NHTSA
and the tire manufacturers.
The grade of tires available as standard
or optional equipment on Mazda
vehicles may vary with respect to
grade.
ALL PASSENGER VEHICLE TIRES MUST
CONFORM TO THESE GRADES AND
TO ALL OTHER FEDERAL TIRE -SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS.
▼ UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY

Tire Labeling
▼Tire Labeling
Federal law requires tire manufacturers
to place standardized information on
the sidewall of all tires. This
information identi
fies and describes
the fundamental characteristics of the
tire and also provides a tire
identi fication number for safety
standard certi fication and in case of a
recall.

The grades represent the tire's ability
to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on
specified government test surfaces of
asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
Temperature: The temperature grades
are A (the highest), B and C,
representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to
dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a speci fied
indoor laboratory test wheel.
Snow Tires
In some heavy snow areas, local
governments may require true snow
tires, those with very deeply cut tread.
These tires should only be used in pairs
or placed on all four wheels. Make
sure you purchase snow tires that are
the same size and construction type as
the other tires on your vehicle.

WARNING
Always check the tire inflation
pressures on a regular basis according
to the recommended tire inflation
pressure on the tire label and in
conjunction with the information in
this owner's manual:
Driving your vehicle with
under-in flated tires is dangerous.
Under-in flation is the most common
cause of failures in any kind of tire and
may result in severe cracking , tread
separation or “blowout”, with
unexpected loss of vehicle control and
increased risk of injury. Under-inflation
increases sidewall flexing and rolling
resistance, resulting in heat buildup
and internal damage to the tire. It
results in unnecessary tire stress,
irregular wear, loss of control and
accidents. A tire can lose up to half of
its air pressure and not appear to be
fl at!
It is impossible to determine whether
or not tires are properly inflated just by
looking at them.
▼ Checking Tire Pressure
1. When you check the air pressure,
make sure the tires are cold
―meaning they are not hot from
driving even a mile.
2. Remove the cap from the valve on
one tire.
3. Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.
4. Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
5. If you over fill the tire, release air by
pushing on the metal stem in the
center of the valve. Then recheck
the pressure with your tire gauge.
6. Replace the valve cap.
7. Repeat with each tire, including the spare.
NOTE
Some spare tires require higher
inflation pressure.
8. Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other
objects embedded that could poke
a hole in the tire and cause an air
leak.
9. Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges,
cracks or other irregularities.

Improper wheel alignmentOut-of-balance wheelSevere braking
After rotation, in flate all tire pressures
to speci fication on page 9-5 and
inspect the lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tire performance
will be weakened if rotated from side
to side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator
You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or
older. Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high load
ing conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You
should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the
aging of the spare tire. The period in
which the tire was manufactured (both
week and year) is indicated by a 4-digit
number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-21.
▼ Safety Practices
The way you drive has a great deal to
do with your tire mileage and safety.
So cultivate good driving habits for
your own bene
fit.
Observe posted speed limits and
drive at speeds that are safe for the
existing weather conditions
Avoid fast starts, stops and turnsAvoid potholes and objects on the
road
Do not run over curbs or hit the tire
against the curb when parking
CAUTION
If you feel a sudden vibration or ride
disturbance while driving or you
suspect your tire or vehicle has been
damaged, immediately reduce your
speed. Drive with caution until you can
safely pull
off the road. Stop and
inspect the tire for damage. If the tire
is under-in flated or damaged, de flate
it, remove the tire and rim and replace
it with your spare tire. If you cannot
detect a cause, have the vehicle towed
to the nearest vehicle or tire dealer to
have the vehicle inspected.

WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle:
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is
dangerous because it has not been
designed to tow a trailer and doing so
will
aff ect the drive system which could
result in vehicle damage.
This section will guide you in the
proper loading of your vehicle, to keep
your loaded vehicle weight within its
design rating capability. Properly
loading your vehicle will provide
maximum return of vehicle design
performance. Before loading your
vehicle, familiarize yourself with the
following terms for determining your
vehicle's weight ratings, from the
vehicle's Safety Certi fication Label and
Tire and Load Information Label:
WARNING
Overloaded Vehicle:
Overloading a vehi cle is dangerous.
The results of overloading can have
serious consequences in terms of
passenger safety. Too much weight on
a vehicle's suspension system can
cause spring or shock absorber failure,
brake failure, handling or steering
problems, irregular tire wear, tire
failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to
drive and control. It also increases the
distance required for stopping. In cases
of serious overloading , brakes can fail
completely, particularly on steep
grades. The load a tire will carry safely
is a combination of the size of the tire,
its load range, and corresponding
in flation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always
observe the vehicle's weight ratings
from the vehicle's Safety Certi fication
and Tire and Load Information labels.
Base Curb Weight is the weight of the
vehicle including all standard
equipment. It does not include
passengers, cargo, or optional
equipment.
Vehicle Curb Weight is the weight of
your new vehicle when you picked it
up from your dealer plus any
aftermarket equipment.
PAY LOA D
Pay l o a d is the combination weight of
cargo and passengers that the vehicle
is designed to carry. The maximum
payload for your vehicle can be found
on the Tire and Load Information label
on the rear door on the driver's side or
door pillar. Look for “THE
COMBINATION WEIGHT OF
OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD
NEVER EXCEED XXX kg or XXX lbs” for
your maximum payload. The payload
listed on the tire label is the maximum
payload for the vehicle as built by the
assembly plant. If any aftermarket or
dealer installed equipment has been
installed on the vehicle, the weight of
the equipment must be subtracted

WARNING
Never Exceed Axle Weight Rating
Limits:
Exceeding the Safety Certification
Label axle weight rating limits is
dangerous and could result in death or
serious injury as a result of substandard
vehicle handling, performance, motor,
EV transaxle and/or structural damage,
serious damage to the vehicle, or loss
of control.
Always keep the vehicle within the axle
weight rating limits.
GCW
GCW (Gross Combination Weight) is
the weight of the loaded vehicle
(GVW).
GCWR (Gross Combination Weight
Rating) is the maximum allowable
weight of the vehicle - including all
cargo and passengers - that the vehicle
can handle without risking damage.
The GCW must never exceed the
GCWR.
WARNING
Never Exceed GVWR or GAWR
Speci fications:
Exceeding the GVWR or the GAWR
speci fied on the certi fication label is
dangerous. Exceeding any vehicle
rating limitation could result in a
serious accident, injury, or damage to
the vehicle.
Do not use replacement tires with
lower load carrying capacities than the
originals because they may lower the
vehicle's GVWR and GAWR
limitations. Replacement tires with a
higher limit than the originals do not
increase the GVWR and GAWR
limitations.
Never exceed the GVWR or the GAWR
speci fied on the certi fication label.
