Tire In

fl

ation Pressure

WARNING

Always in

fl

ate the tires to the correct

pressure:

Overin

fl

ation or underin

fl

ation of tires

is dangerous. Adverse handling or

unexpected tire failure could result in a

serious accident.

Refer to Tires on page 9-10.

Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve

cap:

Use of a non-genuine part is

dangerous as the correct tire air

pressure cannot be maintained if the

tire valve becomes damaged. If the

vehicle is driven under this condition,

the tire air pressure will decrease

which could result in a serious

accident. Do not use any part for the

tire valve cap that is not a

Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tire pressures monthly

(including the spare) when the tires are

cold. Maintain recommended

pressures for the best ride, handling,

and minimum tire wear.

Refer to the speci

fi

cation charts (page

9-10).

NOTE

Always check tire pressure when tires

are cold.

Warm tires normally exceed

recommended pressures. Do not

release air from warm tires to adjust

the pressure.

Underin

fl

ation can cause reduced

fuel economy, uneven and

accelerated tire wear, and poor

sealing of the tire bead, which will

deform the wheel and cause

separation of tire from rim.

Overin

fl

ation can produce a harsh

ride, uneven and accelerated tire

wear, and a greater possibility of

damage from road hazards.

Keep your tire pressure at the correct

levels. If one frequently needs

in

fl

ating, have it inspected.

Tire Rotation

WARNING

Rotate tires periodically:

Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To

equalize tread wear for maintaining

good performance in handling and

braking, rotate the tires periodically or

sooner if irregular wear develops.

Please refer to Scheduled maintenance

for your tire rotation interval.
During rotation, inspect them for

correct balance.

 

1. Forward

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE

ONLY) spare tire in rotation.
