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 an authorized

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 wheel hub, brake drum or

brake disc that contacts the wheel. Ensure that any fasteners that

attach the rotor to the hub are secured so they do not interfere with

the mounting surfaces of 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.
