In Case of an Emergency
Flat Tire
Form No. 8R65-EA-03C
17. When the tire has been inflated to the
proper inflation pressure, turn the
compressor switch off and remove the
compressor hose from the tire valve.
18. Install the tire valve cap.
19. Put the emergency flat tire repair kit
in the trunk and continue driving.
20. After driving the vehicle for 10 minutes
or 5 km (3 miles), check the tire
pressure with the tire pressure gauge
equipped with the compressor. If the
tire pressure has fallen below the
correct tire pressure, inflate the tire to
the correct pressure again following the
steps from number 15.
NOTE
•
Check the tire inflation pressure
label (driver’s door) for the correct
tire inflation pressure.
•
Do not use the compressor for
longer than 10 minutes because
using the compressor for long
periods could damage it.
•
If the tire does not inflate, repair of
the tire may not be possible. If the
tire does not reach the correct
inflation pressure within a 10-
minute period, it probably has
received more extensive damage.
When this happens, the emergency
flat tire repair kit cannot be used to
repair the tire. Contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
•
If the tire has been over-inflated,
loosen the screw cap on the
compressor and bleed some of the
air out.
•
Drive carefully to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer and keep the vehicle
speed below 80 km/h (50 mph).
•
If the vehicle is driven 80 km/h
(50 mph) or higher, the vehicle
might begin to vibrate.
NOTE
(With Tire Pressure Monitoring
System)
If the tire is not properly inflated, the
tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will illuminate (page
5-25).
