CAUTION
Limited-Slip Differential system;
don't use the following:
Tires not of the designated size
l
Tires of different sizes or types at the
l
same time
Tires not sufficiently inflated
l
If these instructions aren't followed, the
rotation of the left and right wheels will
be different and will thus apply a
constant load on the limited-slip
differential.
This will cause a malfunction.

When replacing/repairing the tires or
wheels or both, have the work done by
an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or the tire
pressure sensors may be damaged.
