Changing a Tire

WARNING

Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tire, and never get under a
vehicle that is supported only by a jack:

Changing a tire is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure
someone.

Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:

Allowing someone to remain in a
vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause
the vehicle to fall resulting in serious
injury.

CAUTION

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring
System)

The wheels equipped on your Mazda
are specially designed for installation
of the tire pressure sensors. Do not
use non-genuine wheels, otherwise it
may not be possible to install the tire
pressure sensors.

NOTE

l

Make sure the jack is well lubricated before
using it.
