Mazda CX-3: Spare Tire and Tool Storage / Changing a Flat Tire
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it could indicate a flat tire.
- Steering becomes difficult.
- The vehicle begins to vibrate excessively.
- The vehicle pulls in one direction.
If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a level spot that is well off the road and out of the way of traffic to change the tire. Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for changing a tire: Changing a tire is dangerous if not done properly. The vehicle can slip off the jack and seriously injure someone.
No person should place any portion of their body under a vehicle that is supported by a jack.
Never allow anyone inside a vehicle supported by a jack: Allowing someone to remain in a vehicle supported by a jack is dangerous. The occupant could cause the vehicle to fall resulting in serious injury.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated before using it.
- Park on a hard, level surface off the right-of-way and firmly set the parking brake.
- Put a vehicle with an automatic transaxle in Park (P), a manual transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn off the engine.
- Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
- Have passengers get out of the vehicle and away from the vehicle and traffic.
- Remove any luggage, the jack, tools, and spare tire.
- Block the wheel diagonally opposite
the flat tire. When blocking a wheel,
place a tire block both in front and
behind the tire.
NOTE
When blocking a tire, use rocks or wood blocks of sufficient size if possible to hold the tire in place.
Spare Tire
Your Mazda has a temporary spare tire.
The temporary spare tire is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tire, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods...
Removing a Flat Tire
WARNING
When jacking-up a vehicle, always shift the
shift lever to 1st or R position (manual
transaxle vehicle) or shift the selector lever
to P position (automatic transaxle vehicle),
apply the parking brake, and place wheel
blocks in the position diagonally opposed
to the jack: Changing a flat tire without using wheel
blocks is dangerous because the vehicle
may move and fall off the jack even with
the shift lever in 1st or R position, or the
selector lever is in P position, which could
result in an accident...
