Inspecting the IMS Emergency 
Flat Tire Repair Kit

Inspect the emergency tire repair kit at 
regular intervals.

•

Check the tire sealant period of 
effective use.

•

Check the operation of the tire 
compressor.

•

If the tire inflation pressure falls 
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm

2

or bar, 

18.9 psi), repair cannot be done 
with the repair kit. Park the vehicle 
on a level surface off the right-of-
way and contact an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer.

•

If the tire inflation pressure 
continues to remain low after 
repeating steps 14 to 21, park the 
vehicle on a level surface off the 
right-of-way and contact an 
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

NOTE

When checking the tire inflation 
pressure with the tire pressure gauge 
on the compressor unit, make sure the 
compressor switch is turned off.

•

A tire that has been temporarily 
repaired with the tire sealant cannot 
be reused. Mazda recommends 
replacing the tire with a new one.

•

The wheel can be reused after any 
sealant adhering to it is wiped off 
and carefully inspected. However, 
replace the tire valve with a new 
one.

CAUTION
