If steam is coming from the engine compartment:

do not go near

the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine, then turn the ignition switch
to the ON position without starting the engine. The radiator cooling
fans will start to cool the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is escaping:

open the hood and idle

the engine until it cools. If this does not lower the temperature, stop
the engine and let it cool.

5. Check the coolant level. If it is low, look for leaks in the radiator

hoses and connections, heater hoses and connections, radiator and
water pump.

If you find a leak or other damage, or if coolant is still leaking, stop the
engine and call an Authorized Mazda dealer.

See

Adding coolant

in the

Maintenance and specifications

section. If

you find no problems, the engine is cool and no leaks are obvious,
carefully add coolant as required.

WARNING: When the engine and radiator are hot, scalding
coolant and steam may shoot out under pressure and cause
serious injury. Do not remove the cooling system cap when the
engine and radiator are hot.

Note:

If the engine continues to overheat or frequently overheats, have

the cooling system inspected. The engine could be seriously damaged
unless repairs are made.

CHANGING THE TIRES

If you get a flat tire while driving, do not apply the brake heavily.
Instead, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly
and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road.

WARNING: The use of tire sealants is not recommended and
may damage your tires.

Temporary spare tire information (if equipped)

Your vehicle may be equipped with a conventional spare tire that may be
different in size (smaller diameter and narrower width) than other tires
on your vehicle. If this is the case, your spare tire is considered
“temporary” and the spare wheel will be labeled as such. Replace this
tire with a tire of the same size, speed rating and load carrying capacity
as the other road tires as soon as possible.
