If Trouble Arises
Flat Tire
NOTE

If an emergency flat tire repair has been
performed using the emergency flat tire
repair kit, Mazda recommends that the
tire be replaced with a new one as soon
as possible. If the tire is to be repaired
or reused, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

The wheel can be reused if the sealant
adhering to it is removed. However,
replace the valve with a new one.
Mexico
1. Move the vehicle off the right-of-way
to a safe place on a level and hard
surface where the vehicle does not
obstruct traffic.
2. Shift the shift lever to the 1 or Reverse
(R) position for a manual transmission,
and shift the selector lever to the P
position for an automatic transmission.
3. Apply the parking brake with the brake
pedal depressed and turn off the engine.
4. If necessary, flash the hazard warning
lights and set up the roadside
emergency triangle.
5. Unload passengers and cargo and
remove the emergency flat tire repair
kit.
6. Shake the tire sealant well.
CAUTION
If the bottle is shaken after the
injection hose is screwed on, tire
sealant could spray out from the
injection hose. Tire sealant contacting
clothing or other objects may be
impossible to remove. Shake the bottle
before screwing on the injection hose.
NOTE
The sealant hardens easily and injecting
it will be difficult under cold weather
conditions (0 °C (32 °F) or below). Warm
the sealant inside the vehicle to facilitate
injection.
7. Remove the cap from the bottle. Screw
on the injection hose with the bottle's
inner cap left on to break the inner cap.
