Black plate (347,1)

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE ONLY)

spare tire in rotation.

Forward

Also, inspect them for uneven wear and

damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused

by one or a combination of the following:

l

Incorrect tire pressure

l

Improper wheel alignment

l

Out-of-balance wheel

l

Severe braking

After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to

specification (page 10-6) and inspect the

lug nuts for tightness.

CAUTION

Rotate unidirectional tires and radial

tires that have an asymmetrical tread

pattern or studs only from front to

rear, not from side to side. Tire

performance will be reduced if

rotated from side to side.

CAUTION

Limited-Slip Differential system;

don't use the following:

Ø Tires not of the designated size

Ø Tires of different sizes or types at

the same time

Ø Tires not suffic iently inflated

If these instructions aren't followed,

the rotation of the left and right

wheels will be different and will thus

apply a constant load on the limited-

slip differential.

This will cause a malfunction.

qReplacing a Tire

WARNING

Always use tires that are in good

condition:

Driving with worn tires is dangerous.

Reduced braking, steering, and

traction could result in an accident.

CAUTION

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring

System)

When replacing/repairing the tires or

wheels or both, have the work done

by an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or

the tire pressure sensors may be

damaged.
