If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
NOTE
 
Check the tyre inÀ ation pressure
label (driver's door frame) for the
correct tyre inÀ ation pressure.
 
Do not use the compressor for longer
than 10 minutes because using the
compressor for long periods could
damage it.
 
If the tyre does not inÀ ate, repair
of the tyre may not be possible. If
the tyre does not reach the correct
inÀ ation pressure within a 10-minute
period, it probably has received
more extensive damage. When this
happens, the emergency À at tyre
repair kit cannot be used to repair the
tyre. Contact an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
 
If the tyre has been over-inÀ ated,
loosen the screw cap on the
compressor and bleed some of the air
out.
16. When the tyre has been inÀ ated to
the proper inÀ ation pressure, turn the
compressor switch off and remove the
compressor hose from the tyre valve.
17. Install the tyre valve cap.
18. Put the emergency À at tyre repair kit in
the boot and continue driving.
CAUTION
 
Drive carefully to an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer and keep the vehicle speed
below 80 km/h (50 mph).
 
If the vehicle is driven 80 km/h (50
mph) or higher, the vehicle might
begin to vibrate.
NOTE
(With Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System)
If the tyre is not properly inÀ ated, the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light will illuminate (page 4-46 ).
19. After driving the vehicle for 10 minutes
or 5 km (3 miles), check the tyre
pressure with the tyre pressure gauge
equipped with the compressor. If the
tyre pressure has fallen below the
correct tyre pressure, inÀ ate the tyre to
the correct pressure again following the
steps from number 14.
CAUTION
 
If the tyre inÀ ation pressure falls
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2
or bar,
18.9 psi), repair cannot be done with
the repair kit. Park the vehicle on
a level surface off the right-of-way
and contact an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
 
If the tyre inÀ ation pressure
continues to remain low after
repeating steps 13 to 20, park
the vehicle on a level surface off
the right-of-way and contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
When checking the tyre inÀ ation
pressure with the tyre pressure gauge
on the compressor unit, make sure the
compressor switch is turned off.
