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

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

CAUTION

Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

NOTE

If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using
tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 5-30).

recommended limit, whichever is
lower.

l

Drive carefully and avoid bumps,
holes, and sharp turns.

l

Avoid locked-wheel braking.

l

Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tires and
chains could be damaged.

Chains may scratch or chip
aluminum wheels.

NOTE

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