WARNING

Metric Studs and Lug Nuts:
Because the wheel studs and lug nuts
on your Mazda have metric threads,
using a nonmetric nut would be dan-
gerous. 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. Be sure to reinstall the
same nuts you removed or replace
them with metric nuts of the same
configuration.

WARNING

Incorrect Tire Air Pressure:
Driving on tires with incorrect air
pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect han-
dling and result in an accident.
Don’t drive with any tires that have
incorrect air pressure. When you
check the regular tire’s air pressure,
check the spare tire too.

15. Store the tools in their proper places.

If your vehicle is equipped with a
P265 75R15 AT tire, do not stow the
flat tire (or a fully inflated tire) in
the spare tire carrier. It may damage
the tire or the vehicle. Stow only
the temporary spare in the spare tire
carrier. Stow the flat full size tire
with ropes in the pickup box bed.
Repair the tire as soon as possible.

WARNING

Stow Equipment Properly:
To prevent personal injury, make
sure the spare tire and jacking
equipment are stowed and secured
in the proper storage location.
