Tyre In fl ation Pressure
WARNING
Always in fl ate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
Overin
fl ation or underin fl ation of tyres
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in
a serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-9 .
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
*
) when the tyres are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, handling, and minimum tyre
wear.
Refer to the speci
fi cation charts (page
9-9 ).
(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 on page 4-201 .
NOTE
  
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.
  
Underin fl ation 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.
  
Overin fl ation 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
in
fl ating, have it inspected.
