Locking Lug Nuts

If your vehicle has Mazda optional
antitheft wheel lug nuts, each wheel will
have one locking lug nut that locks the
wheel and tire, and you must use a special
key to unlock the locking lug nut. This key
is stored in the glove compartment.
Register the key and lug nuts 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. When installing
a spare tire, original lug nut must be used
in place of the wheel lock.

Mounting the Spare Tire

1. Remove dirt and grime from the

mounting surfaces of the wheel and
hub, including the hub bolts, with a
cloth.

WARNING

Make sure the mounting surfaces of the
wheel, hub and lug nuts are clean
before changing or replacing tires:

When changing or replacing a tire, not
removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub
and hub bolts is dangerous. The lug
nuts could loosen while driving and
cause the tire to come off, resulting in
an accident.

2. Mount the spare tire.
3. Install the lug nuts with the beveled

edge inward; tighten them by hand.

WARNING

Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts
and bolts and do not tighten the lug
nuts beyond the recommended
tightening torque:

Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and
bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts could
loosen while driving and cause the tire
to come off, resulting in an accident. In
addition, lug nuts and bolts could be
damaged if tightened more than
necessary.

4. Turn the lug wrench counterclockwise

and lower the vehicle.

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.

6. Remove the center cap by tapping it

from the backside of the wheel using
the lug wrench.

7. Store the damaged tire, using the flat

tire hold-down bolt to hold it in place.

Tires on page 9-7.

11. 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

To prevent the jack and tool from rattling,
store them properly.

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.

Keep flames and sparks away from open battery cells and do not allow metal tools to

contact the positive ( ) or negative ( ) terminal of the battery when working near a battery.
Do not allow the positive ( ) terminal to contact the vehicle body:

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

Keep all flames and sparks away from open battery cells because hydrogen gas is

produced from open battery cells while charging the battery or adding battery fluid:

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.

If Trouble Arises

Battery Runs Out

7-13

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).

1. Move the booster vehicle so that its battery is as close as possible to your vehicle's

battery.

2. Make sure that the power such as for the headlights and air conditioner is turned off.
3. Remove the battery cover.

4. Turn off the booster vehicle's engine and connect the jumper cables in the following

order.
Make sure that the jumper cables are securely connected so that they do not disconnect
due to engine vibrations.

Starting a Flooded Engine

If the engine fails to start, it may be
flooded (excessive fuel in the engine).

Follow this procedure:

1. If the engine does not start within 5

seconds on the first try, wait 10
seconds and try again.

2. Make sure the parking brake is on.
3. Depress the accelerator all the way and

hold it there.

4. Depress the brake pedal, then press the

push button start. If the engine starts,
release the accelerator immediately
because the engine will suddenly rev
up.

5. If the engine fails to start, crank it

without depressing the accelerator.

If the engine still does not start using the
previous procedure, have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Push-Starting

Do not push-start your Mazda.

WARNING

Never tow a vehicle to start it:

Towing a vehicle to start it is dangerous.
The vehicle being towed could surge
forward when its engine starts, causing the
2 vehicles to collide. The occupants could
be injured.

NOTE

You cannot start a vehicle with an
automatic transaxle by pushing it.

Overheating

If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on, the
vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud
knocking or pinging noise, the engine is
probably too hot.

WARNING

Pull over to a safe location, then switch

the ignition 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 cap 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 temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road and

park off the right-of-way.

2. Shift into park (P).
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is

escaping 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 level.

If Trouble Arises

Towing Description

We recommend that towing be done only
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a
commercial tow-truck service.

Proper lifting and towing are necessary to
prevent damage to the vehicle. Particularly
when towing an AWD vehicle, where all
the wheels are connected to the drive train,
proper transporting of the vehicle is
absolutely essential to avoid damaging the
drive system. Government and local laws
must be followed.

Wheel dollies

A towed FWD vehicle should have its
drive wheels (front wheels) off the ground.
If excessive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.

When towing a FWD vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground, release the parking
brake.
Refer to Electric Parking Brake (EPB) on
page 4-95.

A towed AWD vehicle must have all its
wheels off the ground.

WARNING

Always tow an AWD vehicle with all four
wheels off the ground:

Towing an AWD vehicle with either the
front or rear wheels on the ground is
dangerous as the drive train could be
damaged, or the vehicle could trail away
from the tow truck and cause an accident.
If the drive train has been damaged,
transport the vehicle on a flatbed truck.

CAUTION



Do not tow the vehicle pointed backward
with driving wheels on the ground. This
may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.

If Trouble Arises

Emergency Towing



Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.



If the parking brake cannot be released
when towing the vehicle, transport the
vehicle with all front and rear wheels
raised off the ground as shown in the
figure. If the vehicle is towed without
raising the wheels off the ground, the
brake system could be damaged.

Wheel dollies

Tiedown Hooks

CAUTION

Do not use the front and rear tiedown
eyelets for towing the vehicle.
They have been designed only for securing
the vehicle to a transport vessel during
shipping.
Using the eyelets for any other purpose
could result in the vehicle being damaged.
