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/off , use
the air compressor switch.
12. 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 À ation
pressure increases to the speci ¿ ed tire
in À ation pressure.
N O T E
The in À ation pressure may increase to
about 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 3 bar, 43.5
psi) temporarily to inject the sealant
through the valve. Normally, the in À ation
pressure decreases gradually and it
reaches the actual in À ation pressure after
about 30 seconds.
WARNING
Never use the air compressor above 300
kPa (3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi):
Using the air compressor at an
infl ation 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.

19. Turn the air compressor switch on and
in À ate the tire carefully to the correct
in À ation pressure.
N O T E
y Check the tire in À ation pressure label
driver's door frame for the correct tire
in À ation pressure.
y Do not operate the air compressor
for a continuous 10 minutes or longer
because using it for long periods could
cause a malfunction.
y If the tire in À ation pressure does
not increase, repair of the tire is not
possible. If the tire does not reach the
speci ¿ ed tire in À ation pressure within
10 minutes, it may have received
extensive damage. In this case, the
repair using the emergency À at tire
repair kit was not successful. Contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
y If the tire has been over-in À ated, loosen
the screw cap on the air compressor and
bleed some of the air out.
20. When the tire in À ates to the speci ¿ ed
tire in À ation pressure, turn the air
compressor switch off, turn the sleeve
of the air compressor hose to the left,
and pull it out of the tire valve.
21. Install the tire valve cap.
22. Put the emergency À at tire repair kit
into the trunk.
23. Start driving immediately to spread the
sealant in the tire.
CAUTION
Carefully drive the vehicle at a speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) or less. If the vehicle
is driven at a speed of 80 km/h (50
mph) or more, the vehicle may vibrate.

If Trouble Arises
Battery Runs Out
CAUTION
Use only a 12 V booster system. You can damage a 12 V starter, ignition system, and other
electrical parts beyond repair with a 24 V power supply (two 12 V batteries in series or a
24 V motor generator set).

If Trouble Arises
Overheating
O v e r h e a t i n g
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light turns on, the vehicle loses
power, or you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine is probably too
hot.
WARNING
Pull over to a safe location, then
switch the ignition off and make sure
the fan is not running before attempting
to work near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it
is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefi nitely even if
the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and
radiator are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot
out under pressure and cause serious
injury.
Open the hood ONLY after steam is no
longer escaping from the engine:
Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light turns on:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transmission in park (P), a manual
transmission in neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is
escaping from the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then
open the hood and start the engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine until
it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and call an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating,
then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.
7. When cool, check the coolant level.
If it is low, look for coolant leaks from
the radiator and hoses.
