If Trouble Arises; Flat Tire; Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you- Page 446

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.

6. Remove the tire blocks and store the

tools and jack.

7. Check the inflation pressure. Refer to

Tires on page 9-8.

NOTE

(With tire pressure monitoring system)

Do not press the tire pressure monitoring
system set switch after installing the spare
tire. The switch is only to be pressed after
installing the repaired flat tire or installing
a replacement tire (page 4-26).

WARNING

Do not drive with any tires that have
incorrect air pressure:

Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure
is dangerous. Tires with incorrect pressure
could affect handling and result in an
accident. 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.
