NOTE

l

Use of tire chains on a vehicle equipped
with P225/40R18 specification tires could
cause interference with the vehicle body
and scratching. If tire chains are to be used,
replace both front and rear tires with P
205/50R17 tires. Please consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

l

If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system, the system may
not function correctly when using tire
chains.

Install the chains on the front tires.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

Installing the chains

1. Remove the wheel covers, or the chain

bands will scratch them.

2. Secure the chains on the front tires as

tightly as possible. Always follow the
chain manufacturer's instructions.

3. Retighten the chains after driving 1/2

1 km (1/4

1/2 mile).

Driving In Flooded Area

WARNING

Dry wet brakes by driving very slowly
and applying the brakes lightly until
brake performance returns to normal:

Driving with wet brakes is
dangerous. Increased stopping
distance or the vehicle pulling to one
side when braking could result in a
serious accident. Light braking will
indicate whether the brakes have
been affected.

CAUTION

Do not drive the vehicle on flooded
roads as it could cause short
circuiting of electrical/electronic
parts, or engine damage or stalling
from water absorption. If the vehicle
has been immersed in water, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
