

Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.

Snow Tires

Use snow tires on all 4 wheels

Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
Inflate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm

2

,

4.3 psi) more than recommended on
the tire pressure label (driver's door
frame), but never more than the
maximum cold-tire pressure shown on
the tires.
 
The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may find it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.

WARNING

Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all 4
wheels:

Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident.

CAUTION

Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

NOTE

The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 4-214).

Tire Chains

Check local regulations before using
tire chains.

CAUTION



Chains may affect handling.



Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30
mph) or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is
lower.



Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.



Avoid locked-wheel braking.



Do not use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.



Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.



Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.

NOTE



The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when
using tire chains.

Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
