WARNING
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with
a torque wrench to 103 N•m (10.5
kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible
after changing wheels.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged
wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
• When installing a tire, only use
wheel nuts that have been specifi-
cally designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deforma-
tions in the bolt screws, nut threads
or bolt holes of the wheel, have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized
Mazda retailer or Mazda authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be
sure to install them with the tapered
ends facing inward. (→P.402)

tighten each wheel nut by hand
by approximately the same
