WARNING: Failure to stow the spare tire may result in the
failure of the winch cable and the loss of the spare tire. A loose
tire on the highway is a very dangerous object to other people
on the road. Check to be sure the tire is firmly mounted; go to a
dealer to have it re-mounted if you have any doubt about spare
tire security.

7. Repeat this tightness check procedure when servicing the spare tire

pressure (every six months), or at any time that the spare tire is
disturbed through service of other components.

WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles (800 km)
after any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel
removal, etc.).

* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and
rust. Use only Mazda recommended replacement fasteners.

WARNING: When a wheel is installed, always remove any
corrosion, dirt or foreign materials present on the mounting
surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the front disc brake hub
and rotor that contacts the wheel. Installing wheels without
correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel mounting surfaces
can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off
while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of control.

OVERHEATING

If the temperature gauge indicates overheating and you experience
power loss, you hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine is
probably too hot.

If this happens:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.

2. Shift the automatic transmission into P (Park) or the manual

transmission into the neutral position, and apply the parking brake.

3. Turn off the air conditioner.
