3. Install the lug nuts with the beveled

edge inward; tighten them by hand.

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 off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, lug nuts and
bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.

4. Turn the jack handle counterclockwise

and lower the vehicle. Use the lug
wrench to tighten the nuts in the order
shown.

If you're 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 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.

5. Store the damaged tire, using the tire

hold-down bolt to hold it in place.
