Before Driving Your Mazda
Driving Tips
Form No. 8R21-EA-02G
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask a Mazda dealer to perform the
following precautions:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
Use only cold-weather engine oil
(page 8-9).
Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreezebut dont use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid
(page 8-16).
Dont use the parking brake in freezing
weather as the parking brake may
freeze. Instead, shift to P and block the
rear wheels.
Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all four wheels
Your vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used all
year around. In some extreme climates
you may find it necessary to replace them
with snow tires during the winter months
to further improve traction on snow and
ice covered roads.
Dont go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph).
Inflate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2
, 4.3
psi) more than recommended on the tire
pressure label (drivers door), but never
more than the maximum cold-tire
pressure shown on the tires.
Winter Driving
Mixing Tire Types:
Using tires different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicles handling
could be greatly affected and result in
an accident. Use only the same size
and type tires (snow, radial, or non-
radial) on all four wheels.
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
