Changing a Flat Tire

NOTE

If the following occurs while driving, it could
indicate a flat tire.

l

Steering becomes difficult.

l

The vehicle begins to vibrate excessively.

l

The vehicle pulls in one direction.

If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.

WARNING

Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire, and never get under a
vehicle that is supported only by a jack:

Changing a tire is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure
someone.

Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:

Allowing someone to remain in a
vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause
the vehicle to fall resulting in serious
injury.

CAUTION

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring
System)

The wheels equipped on your Mazda
are specially designed for installation
of the tire pressure sensors. Do not
use non-genuine wheels, otherwise it
may not be possible to install the tire
pressure sensors.

NOTE

l

Make sure the jack is well lubricated before
using it.

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

l

Be sure to register the tire pressure sensor
ID signal code whenever tires or wheels are
changed (page 5-31).

1. Park on a level surface off the right-of-

way and firmly set the parking brake.

2. Shift into Park (P) and turn off the

engine.

3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.

4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle

and away from the vehicle and traffic.

5. Remove the jack, tool, and spare tire

(page 7-3).

6. Block the wheel diagonally opposite

the flat tire. When blocking a wheel,
place a tire block both in front and
behind the tire.

NOTE

When blocking a tire, use rocks or wood blocks
of sufficient size if possible to hold the tire in
place.
