   4.   Turn  the  lug  wrench  counterclockwise

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 confi guration:

  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.
