Locking Lug Nuts; If Trouble Arises; Flat Tire- Page 486

NOTE

When raising the jack head into the
jacking position and aligning the
groove in the jack head with the rail
under the vehicle body, the top of the
jack head contacts the vehicle's
underbody without the rail contacting
the bottom of the groove.

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.

9. Remove the lug nuts by turning them

counterclockwise; then remove the
wheel and center cap.

Locking Lug Nuts

If your Mazda is equipped with the
optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, a special
key must be used to unlock the locking lug
nut for each wheel. The key is stored in
the glove compartment, center console
storage, storage box, or trunk. Register the
key and lug nuts with the lock
manufacturer by filling out the registration
card and mailing it in using the
accompanying envelope. If the key is lost,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer or
use the lock manufacturer’s order form to
order a new key.
