WARNING

Always securely and correctly tighten
the lug nuts:

Improperly or loosely tightened lug
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 lug 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.

5. Open the cargo sub-compartment.

6. Remove the cover.

7. Remove the belt for securing the flat

tire.

8. Return the third-row seatback to its

original position.
Refer to Fold the Third-Row Seat on
page 2-17.

9. Remove the tire blocks and store the

tools and jack.

10. Place the flat tire in the cargo sub-

compartment.

11. Thread the belt through the wheel as

shown in the figure, then attach the
belt clips to the hook.
