Nut tightening torque

N·m (kgf·m, ft·lbf) 88―118 (9―12, 65―87)

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.Remove the luggage compartment cover. Refer to Luggage Compartment on page 3-14.

6.Remove the belt for securing the flat tire.

7.Return the rear seatback to its original position. Refer to Rear Seat on page 2-5.

8.Remove the tire blocks and store the tools and jack.

9.Remove the center cap by tapping it with the lug wrench.

10.Thread the belt through the rear seat as shown in the figure.
