3. Install the wheel nuts with the bevelled
edge inward; tighten them by hand.
WARNING
Do not apply oil or grease to wheel nuts
and bolts and do not tighten the wheel
nuts beyond the recommended
tightening torque:
Applying oil or grease to wheel nuts
and bolts is dangerous. The wheel nuts
could loosen while driving and cause
the tyre to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, wheel nuts and
bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.
4. Turn the wheel brace anticlockwise
and lower the vehicle.
5. Use the wheel brace to tighten the nuts
in the order shown.
If you are unsure of how tight the nuts
should be, have them inspected at an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

WARNING
Always securely and correctly tighten
the wheel nuts:
Improperly or loosely tightened wheel
nuts are dangerous. The wheel could
wobble or come off. 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 configuration:
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 off and cause an
accident.
6. Remove the tyre blocks and store the
tools and jack.
7. Store the damaged tyre in the luggage
compartment.
8. Check the inflation pressure. Refer to
Tyres on page 9-10.
9. Have the flat tyre repaired or replaced
as soon as possible.
