WARNING
Always securely and correctly tighten
the wheel nuts:
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel
nuts are dangerous. The wheel could
wobble or come off. This could result
in loss of vehicle control and cause a
serious accident.
Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you
removed or replace them with metric
nuts of the same configuration:
Because the wheel studs and wheel
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.
5. Remove the tyre blocks and store the
tools, jack, and damaged tyre.
6. Check the inflation pressure. Refer to
Tyres on page 10-6.
7. Have the flat tyre repaired or replaced
as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not drive with any tyres that have
incorrect air pressure:
Driving on tyres with incorrect air
pressure is dangerous. Tyres with
incorrect pressure could affect
handling and result in an accident.
When you check the regular tyres' air
pressure, check the spare tyre, too.
