What to Do in Case of Emergency
Tire is Punctured or Bursts
WARNING
Never operate the compressor
above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
bar, 43.5 psi).
Operating the compressor above
300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
psi) is dangerous. When the
inflation pressure rises above 300
2
kPa (3.1 kgf/cm , 3 bar, 43.5 psi),
heated air will be exhausted from
the back of the compressor and you
could be burned.
NOTE
Check the tire inflation pressure

label (driver's door frame) for the
correct tire inflation pressure.
Do not use the compressor for

longer than 10 minutes because
using the compressor for long
periods could damage it.
If the tire does not inflate, repair

of the tire may not be possible. If
the tire does not reach the correct
inflation pressure within a
10-minute period, it probably has
received more extensive damage.
When this happens, the
emergency flat tire repair kit
cannot be used to repair the tire.
Contact an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
If the tire has been over-inflated,

loosen the screw cap on the
compressor and bleed some of
the air out.
17.When the tire has been inflated to
the proper inflation pressure, turn
the compressor switch off and
remove the compressor hose from
the tire valve.
18.Install the tire valve cap.
19.Put the emergency flat tire repair kit
in the trunk and continue driving.

CAUTION
Drive carefully to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer 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.

If the tire is not properly inflated,
the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will illuminate

minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect
the air compressor to the tire using
Step 14 of the procedure, and
check the tire pressure with the tire
pressure gauge equipped with the
compressor. If the tire pressure has
fallen below the correct tire
pressure, inflate the tire to the
correct pressure again following the
steps from number 15.
CAUTION
If the tire inflation pressure falls
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
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
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure
continues to remain low after
repeating steps 14 to 20, park the
vehicle on a level surface off the
right-of-way and contact an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
