Maintenance and Care

Owner Maintenance

 Tires

            For  reasons  of  proper  performance,  safety, 
and better fuel economy, always maintain 
recommended tire infl ation pressures and 
stay within the recommended load limits 
and weight distribution.

WARNING

  Using  Diff erent Tire Types:

  Driving your vehicle with diff erent 
types of tires is dangerous. It could 
cause poor handling and poor braking; 
leading to loss of control.
  Except for the limited use of the 
temporary spare tire, use only the 
same type tires (radial, bias-belted, 
bias-type) on all four wheels.
  

  Using  Wrong-Sized  Tires:

  Using any other tire size than what 
is specifi ed for the vehicle (page  9-8 ) 
is dangerous. It could seriously aff ect 
ride, handling, ground clearance, 
tire clearance, and speedometer 
calibration. This could cause you to 
have an accident. Use only tires that 
are the correct size specifi ed for the 
vehicle.

 Tire  Infl ation Pressure

WARNING

  Always  infl ate the tires to the correct 
pressure:

  Overinfl ation or underinfl ation of tires 
is dangerous. Adverse handling or 
unexpected tire failure could result in a 
serious accident.
  Refer to Tires on page  9-8 .
  

  Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve 
cap:

  Use of a non-genuine part is 
dangerous as the correct tire air 
pressure cannot be maintained if the 
tire valve becomes damaged. If the 
vehicle is driven under this condition, 
the tire air pressure will decrease which 
could result in a serious accident. Do 
not use any part for the tire valve cap 
that is not a Mazda-genuine part.

  Inspect all tire pressures monthly 
(including the spare) when the tires are 
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for 
the best ride, handling, and minimum tire 
wear.
  Refer to the specifi cation charts (page 
 9-8 ).

(With tire pressure monitoring system)

  After adjusting the tire pressure, 
initialization of the tire pressure 
monitoring system is necessary to make 
the system operate normally.
  Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System 
Initialization on page  4-129 .
