edge inward; tighten them by hand.
 

WARNING

Do not apply oil or grease to lug
nuts and bolts and do not tighten
the lug nuts beyond the
recommended tightening torque:

Applying oil or grease to lug nuts
and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and
cause the tire to come off, resulting
in an accident. In addition, lug nuts
and bolts could be damaged if
tightened more than necessary.

4. Turn the jack handle

counterclockwise using the lug
wrench and lower the vehicle.

5. Use the lug wrench to tighten the

nuts in the order shown.
 

If you are unsure of how tight the
nuts should be, have them
inspected at an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

WARNING

Always securely and correctly
tighten the lug nuts:

Improperly or loosely tightened lug
nuts are dangerous. The wheel
could wobble or come off. This
could result in loss of vehicle
control and cause a serious
accident.

Be sure to reinstall the same nuts
you removed or replace them with
metric nuts of the same
configuration:

Because the wheel studs and lug
nuts on your Mazda have metric
threads, using a non-metric nut is
dangerous. On a metric stud, it
would not secure the wheel and
would damage the stud, which
could cause the wheel to slip off
and cause an accident.

6.

(Aluminum wheel equipped
vehicle)

Remove the center cap by tapping
it from the backside of the wheel
using the lug wrench.

7.

(Without flat tire belt)

Store the damaged and/or flat tire
in the rear cargo area.

(With flat tire belt)

Open the luggage mat.

8. Remove the belt for securing the

flat tire.
