CAUTION
Limited-Slip Differential system;
don't use the following:
l
Tires not of the designated size
l
Tires of different sizes or types at the
same time
l
Tires not sufficiently inflated
If these instructions aren't followed, the
rotation of the left and right wheels will
be different and will thus apply a
constant load on the limited-slip
differential.
This will cause a malfunction.

Worn Tires:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and

wheels or both, have the work done by
an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or the tire
pressure sensors may be damaged.

sensors whenever tires or wheels are
replaced.
