WARNING

Do not apply oil or grease to lug

nuts and bolts and do not tighten

the lug nuts beyond the

recommended tightening torque:

Applying oil or grease to lug nuts

and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts

could loosen while driving and

cause the tire to come o

ff

, resulting

in an accident. In addition, lug nuts

and bolts could be damaged if

tightened more than necessary.

4. Turn the jack handle

counterclockwise using the lug

wrench and lower the vehicle.

5. Use the lug wrench to tighten the

nuts in the order shown.

If you are unsure of how tight the

nuts should be, have them

inspected at an Authorized Mazda

Dealer.

WARNING

Always securely and correctly

tighten the lug nuts:

Improperly or loosely tightened lug

nuts are dangerous. The wheel

could wobble or come o

ff

. 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

con

fi

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 o

ff

and cause an accident.

(Aluminum wheel equipped

vehicle)

Remove the center cap by tapping

it from the backside of the wheel

using the lug wrench.

7. Store the damaged tire in the trunk

(4-door) or luggage compartment

(5-door).

8. Secure the damaged tire to the

vehicle using the following method.
