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. Store the damaged tire, using the tire
hold-down bolt to hold it in place.

6. Check the inflation pressure. Refer to
the specification charts on page 10-7.
7. 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 ac cident.
When you check the regular tires' air
pressure, check the spare tire, too.
NOTE
(5-Door with sub-woofer)
When storing a damaged conventional tire in
the luggage compartment, the sub-woofer can
be stored in its original position, however, the
sub-woofer connector on the trunk board
cannot be connected.
NOTE
To prevent the jack and tool from rattling, store
them properly.
