20. After driving the vehicle for about 10
minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect the
air compressor to the tire using Step
9 of the procedure, and check the tire
inflation pressure using the tire pressure
gauge on the air compressor. If the
tire inflation pressure is lower than the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn
the air compressor on and wait until
it reaches the specified tire inflation
pressure.
WARNING
If the tire inflation pressure has
decreased below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
bar, 18.9 psi), stop driving and contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer:
The repair using the emergency flat tire
repair kit was not successful.
If you see a decrease in the tire inflation
pressure, even if Steps 9 to 20 of the
procedure are performed repeatedly,
stop driving:
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
Before checking the tire inflation
pressure using the tire pressure gauge,
turn the air compressor switch off.

completed successfully if the tire
inflation pressure does not decrease.
Carefully drive the vehicle to the
nearest Authorized Mazda Dealer
immediately and have the flat tire
replaced. Replacement with a new
tire is recommended. If the tire is
to be repaired or reused, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
