If Trouble Arises

Flat Tire

Do not jack up the vehicle in a position 

other than the designated jack-up 

position or place any objects on or 

under the jack:

Jacking up the vehicle in a position 

other than the designated jack-up 

position or placing objects on or 

under the jack is dangerous as it could 

deform the vehicle body or the vehicle 

could fall off the jack resulting in an 

accident.

Use only the jack provided with your 

Mazda:

Using a jack that is not designed for 

your Mazda is dangerous. The vehicle 

could slip off the jack and seriously 

injure someone.

Never place objects under the jack:

Jacking the vehicle with an object 

under the jack is dangerous. The jack 

could slip and someone could be 

seriously injured by the jack or the 

falling vehicle.

7.  Insert the jack lever and attach the lug 

wrench to tire jack.

8.  Turn the jack handle clockwise and 

raise the vehicle high enough so that 

the spare tire can be installed. Before 

removing the lug nuts, make sure your 

Mazda is firmly in position and that it 

cannot slip or move.

WARNING

Do not jack up the vehicle higher than is 

necessary:

Jacking up the vehicle higher than 

is necessary is dangerous as it could 

destabilize the vehicle resulting in an 

accident.

Do not start the engine or shake the 

vehicle while it is jacked up:

Starting the engine or shaking 

the vehicle while it is jacked up is 

dangerous as it could cause the vehicle 

to fall off the jack resulting in an 

accident.

Never go under the vehicle while it is 

jacked up:

Going under the vehicle while it is 

jacked up is dangerous as it could 

result in death or serious injury if the 

vehicle were to fall off the jack.
