CAUTION
When inserting the air compressor
plug into or removing it from the
accessory socket, make sure that
the air compressor switch is off.
When turning the air compressor
on/o ff, use the air compressor
switch.
11.The sealant is injected into the tire when the air compressor is
switched on. After the sealant is
injected completely, wait until the
tire in flation pressure increases to
the specified tire in flation pressure.
NOTE
The infl ation pressure may increase
to about 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2, 3
bar, 43.5 psi) temporarily to inject
the sealant through the valve.
Normally, the in flation pressure
decreases gradually and it reaches
the actual infl ation pressure after
about 30 seconds.
WARNING
Never use the air compressor
above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2, 3
bar, 43.5 psi):
Using the air compressor at an
in flation pressure above 300 kPa
(3.1 kgf/cm
2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi)
continuously is dangerous. If the air
compressor overheats, hot air will
be exhausted and you could get
burned.
NOTE
Check the tire in flation pressure
label rear door on the driver's
side for the correct tire in flation
pressure.
Do not operate the air
compressor for a continuous 10
minutes or longer because using
it for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
If the tire in flation pressure does
not increase, repair of the tire is
not possible. If the tire does not
reach the speci fied tire inflation
pressure within 10 minutes, it
may have received extensive
damage. In this case, the repair
using the emergency flat tire
repair kit was not successful.
Contact an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

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.
