cables, and a small bag of sand or salt.

Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
perform the following precautions:

Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page 8-15.

l

Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.

and loose connections.

coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 8-19).

l

Don't use the parking brake in freezing
weather as the parking brake may
freeze. Instead, shift to 1 or R and
block the rear wheels.

q

Snow Tires

Use snow tires on all four wheels

more than recommended on the tire
pressure label (driver's door frame), but
never more than the maximum cold-tire
pressure shown on the tires.
Your vehicle is originally equipped with
summer tires designed for optimum
traction on wet and dry roads. If your
vehicle is to be used on snow and ice
covered roads, Mazda recommends that
you replace the tires originally equipped
on your vehicle with snow tires during the
winter months.

WARNING

Mixing Tire Types:
Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident. Use only the same size
and type tires (snow, radial, or non-
radial) on all four wheels.

CAUTION

Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

q

Tire Chains

This vehicle cannot be operated with tire
chains because it could cause interference
with the vehicle body and scratching.
