Replacing tires and wheels
CAUTION
When replacing/repairing the tires or
l
wheels or both, have the work done
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or
the tire pressure sensors may be
damaged.
The wheels equipped on your Mazda
l
are specially designed for installation
of the tire pressure sensors. Do not
use non-genuine wheels, otherwise it
may not be possible to install the tire
pressure sensors.
Be sure to have the tire pressure sensors
installed whenever tires or wheels are
replaced.
When having a tire or wheel or both
replaced, the following types of tire
pressure sensor installation are possible.
The tire pressure sensor is removed
l
from the old wheel and installed to the
new one.
The same tire pressure sensor is used
l
with the same wheel. Only the tire is
replaced.
A new tire pressure sensor is installed
l
to a new wheel.
