qSpare Tire

The temporary spare tire is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tire, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tires should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.

WARNING

Do not install the temporary spare tire
on the front wheels (driving wheels):

Driving with the temporary spare tire
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound
roads, and have an accident. Move a
regular tire to the front wheel and
install the temporary spare tire to the
rear.

CAUTION

Ø When using the temporary spare

tire, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tire.
Drive carefully.

Ø To avoid damage to the temporary

spare tire or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:

Do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph).

Avoid driving over obstacles.
Also, do not drive through an
automatic car wash. This tire's
diameter is smaller than a
conventional tire, so the ground
clearance is reduced.

Do not use a tire chain on this
tire because it won't fit
properly.

Do not use your temporary
spare tire on any other vehicle;
it has been designed only for
your Mazda.

Use only one temporary spare
tire on your vehicle at the same
time.

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 5-30).

To remove the spare tire

1. Fold the third-row seat forward (page

2-10).

Changing a Flat Tire

NOTE

If the following occurs while driving, it could
indicate a flat tire.

Steering becomes difficult.

The vehicle begins to vibrate excessively.

The vehicle pulls in one direction.

If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.

WARNING

Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire:

Changing a tire is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure
someone.
No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.

Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:

Allowing someone to remain in a
vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause
the vehicle to fall resulting in serious
injury.

CAUTION

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring
System)
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.

NOTE

Make sure the jack is well lubricated before
using it.

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

Be sure to register the tire pressure sensor
ID signal code whenever tires or wheels are
changed (page 5-32).

1. Park on a hard, level surface off the

right-of-way and firmly set the parking
brake.

2. Put a vehicle with an automatic

transaxle in Park (P), a manual
transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn
off the engine.

3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.

4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle

and away from the vehicle and traffic.

5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tire

(page 7-3).

6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite

the flat tire. When blocking a wheel,
place a tire block both in front and
behind the tire.

8. Remove the lug nuts by turning them

counterclockwise; then remove the
wheel.

qLocking Lug Nuts

If your vehicle has Mazda optional
antitheft wheel lug nuts, one on each
wheel will lock the tires and you must use
a special key to unlock them. This key
will attach to the lug wrench. Register
them with the lock manufacturer by filling
out the card provided in the glove
compartment and mailing it in the
accompanying envelope. If you lose this
key, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
or use the lock manufacturer's order form,
which is with the registration card.
Accessory wheel locks cannot be used on
steel wheels. This includes situations
when the spare tire is installed. If the
spare tire is installed, one of the original
lug nuts (which should still be in the
vehicle) must be installed in place of the
wheel lock.

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. Replace the cargo sub-compartment.

6. Remove the lid by pressing the two

latches on the cargo sub-compartment.

7. Remove the belt for securing the flat

tire.

Overheating

If the High engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates, the vehicle
loses power, or you hear a loud knocking
or pinging noise, the engine is probably
too hot.

WARNING

Switch the ignition to off and

make sure the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan:

Working near the cooling fan when it
is running is dangerous. The fan
could continue running indefinitely
even if the engine has stopped and
the engine compartment temperature
is high. You could be hit by the fan
and seriously injured.

Do not remove either cooling

system caps when the engine and
radiator are hot:

When the engine and radiator are
hot, scalding coolant and steam may
shoot out under pressure and cause
serious injury.

Open the hood ONLY after steam is no
longer escaping from the engine:

Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.

If the High engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road and

park off the right-of-way.

2. Put a vehicle with an automatic

transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in neutral.

3. Apply the parking brake.

4. Turn off the air conditioner.

5. Check whether coolant or steam is

escaping from under the hood or from
the engine compartment.

If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then
open the hood and start the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine until
it cools.

CAUTION

If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the
engine temperature will increase.
Stop the engine and call an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating,

then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.

7. When cool, check the coolant reservoir

level.
If it's low, look for coolant leaks from
the radiator and hoses.

Jump-Starting

Jump-starting is dangerous if done incorrectly. So follow the procedure carefully. If you
feel unsure about jump-starting, we strongly recommend that you have a competent service
technician do the work.

WARNING

Follow These Precautions Carefully:

To ensure safe and correct handling of the battery, read the following precautions
carefully before using the battery or inspecting it.

Always wear eye protection when working near the battery:

Working without eye protection is dangerous. Battery fluid contains SULFURIC ACID
which could cause blindness if splashed into your eyes. Also, hydrogen gas produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode.

Wear eye protection and protective gloves to prevent contact with battery

fluid:

Spilled battery fluid is dangerous.
Battery fluid contains SULFURIC ACID which could cause serious injuries if it gets in
eyes, skin or clothing. If this happens, immediately flush your eyes with water for 15
minutes or wash your skin thoroughly and get medical attention.

Always keep batteries out of the reach of children:

Allowing children to play near batteries is dangerous. Battery fluid could cause
serious injuries if it gets in the eyes or on the skin.

Do not allow the positive (

) terminal to contact any other metal object that

could cause sparks:

Flames and sparks near open battery cells are dangerous. Hydrogen gas, produced
during normal battery operation, could ignite and cause the battery to explode. An
exploding battery can cause serious burns and injuries. When working near a
battery, do not allow metal tools to contact the positive (

) or negative ( )

terminal of the battery.

Keep all flames, including cigarettes, and sparks away from open battery cells:

Do not jump-start a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level:

Jump-starting a frozen battery or one with a low fluid level is dangerous. It may
rupture or explode, causing serious injury.

Connect the negative cable to a good ground point away from the battery:

Connecting the end of the second jumper cable to the negative ( ) terminal of the
discharged battery is dangerous.
A spark could cause the gas around the battery to explode and injure someone.

Route the jumper cables away from parts that will be moving:

Connecting a jumper cable near or to moving parts (cooling fans, belts) is dangerous.
The cable could get caught when the engine starts and cause serious injury.

CAUTION

Use only a 12 V booster system. You can damage a 12 V starter, ignition system, and
other electrical parts beyond repair with a 24 V power supply (two 12 V batteries in
series or a 24 V motor generator set).
