For reasons of proper performance, safety, and better fuel economy, always maintain recommended tyre inflation pressures and stay within the recommended load limits and weight distribution.
Using Different Tyre Types:
Driving your vehicle with different types of tyres is dangerous. It could cause poor handling and poor braking; leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary spare tyre, use only the same type tyres (radial, bias-belted, bias-type) on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is specified for the vehicle (Search) is dangerous. It could seriously affect ride, handling, ground clearance, tyre clearance, and speedometer calibration. This could cause you to have an accident. Use only tyres that are the correct size specified for the vehicle.
Always inflate the tyres to the correct pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tyres is dangerous. Adverse handling or unexpected tyre failure could result in a serious accident.
Refer to Tyres (Search).
Use only a Mazda-genuine tyre valve cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as the correct tyre air pressure cannot be maintained if the tyre valve becomes damaged. If the vehicle is driven under this condition, the tyre air pressure will decrease which could result in a serious accident. Do not use any part for the tyre valve cap that is not a Mazda-genuine part.
Inspect all tyre pressures monthly (including the spare (Some Models)) when the tyres are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, handling, and minimum tyre wear.
Refer to the specification charts (Search).
(With tyre pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tyre pressure, initialization of the tyre pressure monitoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Initialization (Search).
Always check tyre pressure when tyres are cold.
Warm tyres normally exceed recommended pressures. Do not release air from warm tyres to adjust the pressure.
Underinflation can cause reduced fuel economy, uneven and accelerated tyre wear, and poor sealing of the tyre bead, which will deform the wheel and cause separation of tyre from rim.
Overinflation can produce a harsh ride, uneven and accelerated tyre wear, and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards.
Keep your tyre pressure at the correct levels. If one frequently needs inflating, have it inspected.
Rotate tyres periodically:
Irregular tyre wear is dangerous. To equalize tread wear for maintaining good performance in handling and braking, rotate the tyres every 10,000 km (6,250 miles), or sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, inspect them for correct balance.
(Without temporary spare tyre)
Because your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tyre, you cannot do a tyre rotation safely with the jack that comes with your vehicle. Have an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer perform tyre rotation.
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused by one or a combination of the following:
Incorrect tyre pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tyre pressures to specification (Search) and inspect the wheel nuts for tightness.
(With tyre pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tyre pressure, initialization of the tyre pressure monitoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Initialization (Search).
Rotate unidirectional tyres and radial tyres that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tyre performance will be reduced if rotated from side to side.
Always use tyres that are in good condition:
Driving with worn tyres is dangerous. Reduced braking, steering, and traction could result in an accident.
Replace all four tyres at the same time:
Replacing just one tyre is dangerous. It could cause poor handling and poor braking resulting in loss of vehicle control. Mazda strongly recommends that you replace all four tyres at the same time.
If a tyre wears evenly, a wear indicator will appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tyre when this happens.
You should replace the tyre before the band crosses the entire tread.
(With tyre pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tyre pressure, initialization of the tyre pressure monitoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Initialization (Search).
Inspect the temporary spare tyre at least monthly to make sure it is properly inflated and stored.
The temporary spare tyre condition gradually deteriorates even if it has not been used.
The temporary spare tyre is easier to handle because of its construction which is lighter and smaller than a conventional tyre. This tyre should be used only for an emergency and only for a short distance.
Use the temporary spare tyre only until the conventional tyre is repaired, which should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tyre (Search).
Do not use your temporary spare tyre rim with a snow tyre or a conventional tyre. Neither will properly fit and could damage both tyre and rim.
The temporary spare tyre has a tread life of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The tread life may be shorter depending on driving conditions.
The temporary spare tyre is for limited use, however, if the tread wear solid-band indicator appears, replace the tyre with the same type of temporary spare (Search).
Always use wheels of the correct size on your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous. Braking and handling could be affected, leading to loss of control and an accident.
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely affect:
Tyre fit
Wheel and bearing life
Ground clearance
Snow-chain clearance
Speedometer calibration
Headlight aim
Bumper height
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (Some Models)
When replacing a wheel, make sure the new one is the same as the original factory wheel in diameter, rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Proper tyre balancing provides the best riding comfort and helps reduce tread wear. Out-of-balance tyres can cause vibration and uneven wear, such as cupping and flat spots.
Replacing the fuses on the vehicle's left side
If the electrical system does not work, first inspect the fuses on the vehicle's left side.
Make sure the ignition is switched off, and other switches are off.
Open the fuse panel cover.
Pull the fuse straight out with the fuse puller provided on the fuse block located in the engine compartment.
Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is blown.
Insert a new fuse of the same amperage rating, and make sure it fits tightly. If it does not fit tightly, have an expert install it. We recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one of the same rating from a circuit not essential to vehicle operation, such as the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.
Always replace a fuse with a genuine Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same rating. Otherwise you may damage the electric system.
Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.
Replacing the fuses under the bonnet
If the headlights or other electrical components do not work and the fuses in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse block under the bonnet. If a fuse is blown, it must be replaced. Follow these steps:
Make sure the ignition is switched off, and other switches are off.
Remove the fuse block cover.
If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage rating.
Do not replace the main fuse and multiplex slow blow fuse by yourself. Have an Authorised Mazda Repairer perform the replacement:
Replacing these fuses by yourself is dangerous because they are high current fuses. Incorrect replacement could cause an electrical shock or a short circuit resulting in a fire.
Reinstall the cover and make sure that it is securely installed.
