Flat Tire

Form No. 8T02-EA-03L

5. Store the damaged tire in the trunk.

Have the damaged tire repaired as soon 
as possible.

Loose 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. Always securely and 
correctly tighten the lug nuts.

Metric Studs and Lug Nuts:
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. Be sure to 
reinstall the same nuts you removed 
or replace them with metric nuts of 
the same configuration.

Incorrect Tire Air Pressure:
Driving on tires with incorrect air 
pressure is dangerous. Tires with 
incorrect pressure could affect 
handling and result in an accident.
Don

’

t drive with any tires that have 

incorrect air pressure. When you 
check the regular tires

’

 air pressure, 

check the spare tire, too.

NOTE

To prevent the jack and tool from 
rattling, store them properly.
