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.
Your 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
four 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

If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using
tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 5-29).

q

Tire Chains

Check local regulations before using tire
chains.

CAUTION

l

Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels. Install tire chains
on steel wheels only.

l

Chains may affect handling.

l

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

l

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

l

Avoid locked-wheel braking.

l

Don't use chains on a temporary
spare tire; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tire.

l

Don't use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.

NOTE

If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using
tire chains.

Install the chains on the front tires.
Don't use chains on the rear tires.
Use only genuine Mazda tire chains.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
