Snow Tyres; Tyre Chains - Mazda CX-5 2018 Owner's Manual

Drive slowly. Braking performance can
•
be adversely affected if snow or ice
adheres to the brake components. If this
situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal
and lightly applying the brakes several
times until the brake performance
returns to normal.
▼
Use only the same size and type tyres
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all four
wheels:
Using tyres different in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling could
be greatly affected and result in an
accident.
Check local regulations before using
studded tyres.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with the tyre
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using
tyres with steel wire reinforcement in the
sidewalls (page 4-250).
▼
Chains may affect handling.
Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30 mph)
or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is lower.
Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes,
and sharp turns.
Avoid locked-wheel braking.
Do not use chains on a temporary spare
tyre; it may result in damage to the
vehicle and to the tyre.
In some models, the vehicle is not
equipped with a factory installed
temporary spare tyre.
Do not use chains on roads that are free
of snow or ice. The tyres and chains could
be damaged.
Chains may scratch or chip aluminium
wheels.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with the tyre
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using tyre
chains.
