In Case of an Emergency

Flat Tire

Form No. 8S11-EA-03G

4. Turn the lug wrench counterclockwise

and lower the vehicle. Use the lug

wrench to tighten the nuts in the order

shown.

If you’re unsure of how tight the nuts

should be, have them inspected at an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Nut tightening torque:

N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf) 88—118 (9—12, 65—87)

Loose Lug Nuts:

Improperly or loosely tightened lug

nuts are dangerous. The wheel could

wobble or come off. This could result

in loss of vehicle control and cause a

serious accident. Always securely and

correctly tighten the lug nuts.

Metric Studs and Lug Nuts:

Because the wheel studs and lug nuts

on your Mazda have metric threads,

using a non-metric nut is dangerous.

On a metric stud, it would not secure

the wheel and would damage the stud,

which could cause the wheel to slip

off and cause an accident. Be sure to

reinstall the same nuts you removed

or replace them with metric nuts of

the same configuration.

Incorrect Tire Air Pressure:

Driving on tires with incorrect air

pressure is dangerous. Tires with

incorrect pressure could affect

handling and result in an accident.

Don’t drive with any tires that have

incorrect air pressure. When you

check the regular tires’ air pressure,

check the spare tire, too.
