Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Nut tightening torque

N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf)

108―147 (12―14,

80―108)

WARNING

Always securely and correctly tighten
the lug nuts:

Improperly or loosely tightened lug
nuts are dangerous. The wheel could
wobble or come off. 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 configuration:

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 off
and cause an accident.

6.

(Without flat tire belt)

Store the damaged tire in the trunk.

(With flat tire belt)

Open the trunk mat.

7. Remove the belt for securing the flat

tire.

8. Put the flat tire into the trunk on the

left and toward the back.
 

9. Fold the seat back forward on the right

side of the rear seat.

10. Thread the belt through the rear seat as

shown in the figure.
 

11. Thread the buckle through the wheel as

shown in the figure and secure it so
that the buckle does not contact the
wheel.
