Changing the Tire

Jacking a Vehicle:
Changing a tire is dangerous if not 
done properly. The vehicle can slip off 
the jack and seriously injure 
someone.
Be sure to follow the directions for 
changing a tire, and never get under a 
vehicle that is supported only by a 
jack.

Passenger in 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. Never allow anyone inside a 
vehicle supported by a jack.

(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.

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

•

Make sure the jack is well 
lubricated before using it.

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring 
System)

•

Be sure to register the tire pressure 
sensor ID signal code whenever tires 
or wheels are changed (page 5-27).
