If Trouble Arises

Parking in an Emergency

The hazard warning lights should always

be used when you stop on or near a

roadway in an emergency.

The hazard warning lights warn other

drivers that your vehicle is a traffic hazard

and that they must take extreme caution

when near it.

Depress the hazard warning flasher and all

the turn signals will flash. The hazard

warning indicator lights in the instrument

cluster flash simultaneously.

NOTE



The turn signals do not work when the

hazard warning lights are on.

Check local regulations about the use of



hazard warning lights while the vehicle

is being towed to verify that it is not in

violation of the law.

Spare Tire

▼

Your Mazda has a temporary spare tire.

The temporary spare tire is lighter and

smaller than a conventional tire, and is

designed only for emergency use and

should be used only for VERY short

periods. Temporary spare tires should

NEVER be used for long drives or

extended periods.

WARNING

Do not install the temporary spare tire on

the front wheels (driving wheels):

Driving with the temporary spare tire on

one of the front driving wheels is

dangerous. Handling will be aﬀected. You

could lose control of the vehicle, especially

on ice or snow bound roads, and have an

accident. Move a regular tire to the front

wheel and install the temporary spare tire

to the rear.

2. Remove the jack.

CAUTION

When using the temporary spare tire,

driving stability may decrease compared

to when using only the conventional tire.

Drive carefully.

To avoid damage to the temporary spare

tire or to the vehicle, observe the

following precautions:

To secure the jack

Perform the removal procedure in reverse.

Towing Description

WARNING

We recommend that towing be done only

by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a

commercial tow-truck service.

Always tow an AWD vehicle with all four

wheels oﬀ the ground:

Towing an AWD vehicle with either the

front or rear wheels on the ground is

dangerous as the drive train could be

damaged, or the vehicle could trail away

from the tow truck and cause an accident.

If the drive train has been damaged,

transport the vehicle on a ﬂatbed truck.

Proper lifting and towing are necessary to

prevent damage to the vehicle. Particularly

when towing an AWD vehicle, where all

the wheels are connected to the drive train,

proper transporting of the vehicle is

absolutely essential to avoid damaging the

drive system. Government and local laws

must be followed.

Action to be taken

Inspect the tires and adjust to the specified inflation pressure (page 6-35).

CAUTION

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.

NOTE



Perform tire pressure adjustment when the tires are cold. Tire pressure will vary according to the tire temper‐

ature, therefore let the vehicle stand for 1 hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or less before adjusting the

tire pressures. When pressure is adjusted on hot tires to the cold inflation pressure, the TPMS warning light/

beep may turn on after the tires cool and pressure drops below specification.

Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light, resulting from the tire air pressure dropping due to cold ambient

temperature, may turn off if the ambient temperature rises. In this case, it will also be necessary to adjust the

tire air pressures. If the TPMS warning light illuminates due to a drop in tire air pressure, make sure to check

and adjust the tire air pressures.



After adjusting the tire air pressures, it may require some time for the TPMS warning light to turn off. If the

TPMS warning light remains illuminated, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph) for 10

minutes, and then verify that it turns off.

Tires lose air naturally over time and the TPMS cannot tell if the tires are getting too soft over time or you
