If you're unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf) 89―117 (9―11, 66― 86)
WARNING
Always securely and correctly tighten
the lug nuts:
Improperly or loosely tightened lug
nuts are dangerous. The wheel could
wobble or come off. This could result
in loss of vehicle control and cause a
serious accident.
Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you
removed or replace them with metric
nuts of the same configuration:
Because the wheel studs and lug nuts
on your Mazda have metric threads,
using a non-metric nut is dangerous.
On a metric stud, it would not secure
the wheel and would damage the
stud, which could cause the wheel to
slip off and cause an accident.
5. Remove the center cap by tapping it
with the jack lever.
6. Store the damaged tire, using the wing
bolt to hold it in place.

NOTE
Always use the wing bolt to secure the
damaged tire. Store the tire hold-down bolt
used to tighten down the spare tire in the same
place as where the wing bolt had been stored.
7. Check the inflation pressure. Refer to
the specification charts on page 10-6.
8. Have the flat tire repaired or replaced
as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not drive with any tires that have
incorrect air pressure:
Driving on tires with incorrect air
pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect
handling and result in an accident.
When you check the regular tires' air
pressure, check the spare tire, too.
NOTE
(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
A tire pressure sensor is not installed to the
temporary spare tire. The warning light will
flash continuously while the temporary spare
tire is being used (page 5-29).
NOTE
To prevent the jack and tool from rattling, store
them properly.
