If Trouble Arises; Flat Tire; Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts- Page 512

3. Install the lug nuts with the beveled

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 lug wrench counterclockwise

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.

Nut tightening torque

N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf)

108―147 (12―14,

80―108)

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.
