10. Remove the jack and fully

tighten the lug nuts, in the
order shown, to 135 Nm (100
lb-ft). Note that these tightening
specifications are for nut and
bolt threads that are free of dirt
and rust. Use only Mazda
recommended (1/2–20)
replacement fasteners.

11. Stow the flat tire. Refer to

Stowing the spare tire.

12. Stow the jack and lug wrench. Make sure the jack is fastened so it

does not rattle when you drive.

13. Unblock the wheels.

Stowing the flat/spare tire

1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing up.

2. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the wire and

retainer through the center of the wheel.

3. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its original

position underneath the vehicle. The effort to turn the jack handle
increases significantly as the tire contacts the frame. The spare tire
carrier will ratchet when the tire is in the fully stowed position. The
spare tire carrier has a built-in ratchet feature that will not allow you
to overtighten. If the spare tire carrier ratchets with very little effort,
take the vehicle to your dealer for assistance at your earliest
convenience.

4. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame assembly. Push against

the tire to make sure it is tightly sealed under the vehicle. Loosen
and retighten, if necessary. Failure to properly stow the spare tire
may result in failure of the winch cable and loss of the spare tire.

5. Repeat this tightness check procedure when servicing the spare tire

pressure (every six months, per service maintenance section), or at
any time that the spare tire is disturbed through service of other
components.

6. Install the spare tire lock (if equipped) into the access hole above

the rear bumper with the spare tire lock key (if equipped) and jack
handle.
