qBattery Replacement

Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer for a
battery replacement purchase.

Tires

For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.

WARNING

Using Different Tire Types:

Driving your vehicle with different
types of tires is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor
braking; leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tire, use only the
same type tires (radial, bias-belted,
bias-type) on all four wheels.

Using Wrong-Sized Tires:

Using any other tire size than what is
specified for your Mazda (page 10-6)
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance, tire
clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tires that
are the correct size specified for your
Mazda.

qTire Inflation Pressure

WARNING

Always inflate the tires to the correct
pressure:

Overinflation or underinflation of
tires is dangerous. Adverse handling
or unexpected tire failure could result
in a serious accident.
Refer to Tires on page 10-6.

Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve
cap:

Use of a non-genuine part is
dangerous as the correct tire air
pressure cannot be maintained if the
tire valve becomes damaged. If the
vehicle is driven under this condition,
the tire air pressure will decrease
which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the
tire valve cap that is not a Mazda-
genuine part.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System

í

does not alleviate the need to check the
tire condition every day, including
whether the tires all look inflated properly.
Inspect all tire pressure monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures
for the best ride, handling, and minimum
tire wear.
When checking the tire pressures, use of a
digital tire pressure gauge is
recommended.

Refer to the specification charts (page
10-6).

NOTE

l

Always check tire pressure when tires are
cold.

l

Warm tires normally exceed recommended
pressures. Don't release air from warm tires
to adjust the pressure.

l

Underinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tire wear,
and poor sealing of the tire bead, which
will deform the wheel and cause separation
of tire from rim.

l

Overinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.

qTire Rotation

WARNING

Rotate tires periodically:

Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking, rotate the tires according to
the scheduled maintenance charts.
Refer to Scheduled Maintenance on
page 8-4.

During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)
spare tire in rotation.

Forward

Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:

l

Incorrect tire pressure

l

Improper wheel alignment

l

Out-of-balance wheel

l

Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 10-6) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.

CAUTION

Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to
rear, not from side to side. Tire
performance will be reduced if
rotated from side to side.

qReplacing a Tire

WARNING

Always use tires that are in good
condition:

Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.

Replace all four tires at the same time:

Replacing just one tire is dangerous.
It could cause poor handling and
poor braking resulting in loss of
vehicle control. Mazda strongly
recommends that you replace all four
tires at the same time.

CAUTION

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring
System)
When replacing/repairing the tires or
wheels or both, have the work done
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or
the tire pressure sensors may be
damaged.

NOTE

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

l

When tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls are used, the system may not
function correctly even with a genuine
wheel.
Refer to System Error Activation on page
5-32.

l

Be sure to install the tire pressure sensors
whenever tires or wheels are replaced.
Refer to Tires and Wheels on page 5-32.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.

New tread

Tread wear indicator

Worn tread

You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.

NOTE

Tires degrade over time, even when they are
not being used on the road. It is recommended
that tires generally be replaced when they are
6 years or older. Heat caused by hot climates
or frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You should
replace the spare tire when you replace the
other road tires due to the aging of the spare
tire. The period in which the tire was
manufactured (both week and year) is
indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 9-13.

qTemporary Spare Tire

Inspect the temporary spare tire at least
monthly to make sure it's properly inflated
and stored.

NOTE

The temporary spare tire condition gradually
deteriorates even if it has not been used.

The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction which
is lighter and smaller than a conventional
tire. This tire should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.

Use the temporary spare tire only until the
conventional tire is repaired, which should
be as soon as possible.

Maintain its pressure at 420 kPa (4.2
kgf/cm

2

or bar, 60 psi).

CAUTION

Ø Do not use your temporary spare

tire rim with a snow tire or a
conventional tire. Neither will
properly fit and could damage
both tire and rim.

Ø The temporary spare tire has a

tread life of less than 5,000 km
(3,000 miles). The tread life may
be shorter depending on driving
conditions.

Ø The temporary spare tire is for

limited use, however, if the tread
wear solid-band indicator
appears, replace the tire with the
same type of temporary spare
(page 8-29).

NOTE

Tires degrade over time, even when they are
not being used on the road. It is recommended
that tires generally be replaced when they are
6 years or older. Heat caused by hot climates
or frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You should
replace the spare tire when you replace the
other road tires due to the aging of the spare
tire. The period in which the tire was
manufactured (both week and year) is
indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 9-13.

qReplacing a Wheel

WARNING

Always use wheels of the correct size
on your vehicle:

Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling
could be affected, leading to loss of
control and an accident.

CAUTION

Ø A wrong-sized wheel may

adversely affect:

Ø

Tire fit

Ø

Wheel and bearing life

Ø

Ground clearance

Ø

Snow-chain clearance

Ø

Speedometer calibration

Ø

Headlight aim

Ø

Bumper height

Ø

Tire Pressure Monitoring
System

Ø (With Tire Pressure Monitoring

System)

Ø

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

Ø

The wheels equipped on your
Mazda are specially designed
for installation of the tire
pressure sensors. Do not use
non-genuine wheels, otherwise
it may not be possible to install
the tire pressure sensors.

WARNING

Do not replace the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself:

Replacing the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself is dangerous. Because the
xenon fusion bulbs require high
voltage, you could receive an electric
shock if the bulbs are handled
incorrectly. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer when the replacement
is necessary.

Never touch the glass portion of a
halogen bulb with your bare hands and
always wear eye protection when
handling or working around the bulbs:

When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurized gas. If one is broken, it
will explode and serious injuries
could be caused by the flying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with
bare hands, body oil could cause the
bulb to overheat and explode when
lit.

Always keep halogen bulbs out of the
reach of children:

Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb
or breaking it some other way.

CAUTION

Ø When removing the lens or lamp

unit using a flathead screwdriver,
make sure that the flathead
screwdriver does not contact the
interior terminal. If the flathead
screwdriver contacts the terminal,
a short circuit may occur.

Ø If your vehicle is equipped with

High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlights, these headlights
contain mercury. So if you need to
have your vehicle disposed, you
should remove the HID Headlights
before disposal. The removed HID
headlights should be recycled, re-
used or disposed as hazardous
waste according to applicable
laws. For more information on the
safe handling and disposal of HID
