Installing the chains

1. Secure the chains on the rear tires as

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

2. Retighten the chains after driving

1/2―1 km (1/4―1/2 mile).

Driving In Flooded Area

WARNING

Dry off brakes that have become wet by
driving slowly, releasing the accelerator
pedal and lightly applying the brakes
several times until the 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.
