manual.

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

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:

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.
