WARNING

Replacement Tires and Snow Tires:
If you have questions concerning
replacement tires, contact an Autho-
rized Mazda Dealer. Failure to fol-
low these precautions may adversely
affect the handling of the vehicle
and make it easier to lose control
and roll over, which could result in
serious or fatal injury.
If you use snow tires, make sure that
they are the same size and grade as
the tires you now have on your
vehicle. If they are not, your vehicle
may not handle safely.
