Mazda CX-3: Winter Driving / Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using tire
chains.
CAUTION
- Chains may affect handling.
- Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30 mph)
or the chain manufacturer's
recommended limit, whichever is lower.
- Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes,
and sharp turns.
- Avoid locked-wheel braking.
- Do not use chains on a temporary spare
tire; it may result in damage to the
vehicle and to the tire.
- Do not use chains on roads that are free
of snow or ice. The tires and chains could
be damaged.
- Chains may scratch or chip aluminum
wheels.
NOTE
If your vehicle is equipped with the tire
pressure monitoring system, the system
may not function correctly when using
tire chains.
Install the chains on the front tires only.
Do not use chains on the rear tires.
Please consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
Installing the chains
- If your vehicle is equipped with wheel
covers remove them, otherwise the
chain bands will scratch them.
- Secure the chains on the front tires as
tightly as possible.
Always follow the chain
manufacturer's instructions.
- Retighten the chains after driving
1/2―1 km (1/4―1/2 mile).
Use snow tires on all 4 wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)
while driving with snow tires. Inflate snow
tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm2, 4.3 psi) more
than recommended on the tire pressure
label (driver's door frame), but never more
than the maximum cold-tire pressure
shown on the tires...
WARNING
Dry off brakes that have become wet by
driving slowly, releasing the accelerator
