WARNING
Always securely and correctly tighten
the wheel nuts:
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel
nuts are dangerous. The wheel could
wobble or come o. 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 conguration:
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 o and cause an
accident.
6. Remove the tyre blocks and store the
tools and jack.

Tyres on page 9-7.
9. 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
aect
handling and result in an
accident. When you check the regular tyres'
air pressure, check the spare tyre, too.
NOTE
To prevent the jack and tool from rattling,
store them properly.
