Winter Driving

l

Carry emergency gear, including tire

chains, window scraper, flares, a small

shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag

of sand or salt.

Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to

perform the following precautions:

l

Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in

the radiator.

Refer to Engine Coolant on page 8-20.

l

Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold

reduces battery capacity.

l

Inspect the ignition system for damage

and loose connections.

l

Use was her fluid made with

antifreeze―but don't use engine

coolant antifreeze for washer fluid

(page 8-25).

l

Don't use the parking brake in freezing

weather as the parking brake may

freeze. Instead, shift to P with an

automatic transaxle and to 1 or R with

a manual transaxle. Block the rear

wheels.

qSnow Tires

Use snow tires on all four wheels

Don't go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)

while driving with snow tires. Inflate

snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm

2

, 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.

Your vehicle is originally equipped with

all season radials designed to be used all

year around. In some extreme climates

you may find it necessary to replace them

with snow tires during the winter months

to further improve traction on snow and

ice covered roads.

WARNING

Use only the same size and type tires

(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all four

wheels:

Using tires different in size or type is

dangerous. Your vehicle's handling

could be greatly affected and result

in an accident.

CAUTION

Check local regulations before using

studded tires.

NOTE

If your vehicle is equipped with the tire

pressure monitoring system, the system may

not function correctly when using tires with

steel wire reinforcement in the sidewalls (page

5-26).

qTire Chains

Check local regulations before using tire

chains.

CAUTION

Ø Chains may affect handling.

Ø Do not go faster than 50 km/h (30

mph) or the chain manufacturer's

recommended limit, whichever is

lower.

Ø Drive carefully and avoid bumps,

holes, and sharp turns.

Ø Avoid locked-wheel braking.

Ø Do not use chains on a temporary

spare tire; it may result in damage

to the vehicle and to the tire.

Ø Do not use chains on roads that

are free of snow or ice. The tires

and chains could be damaged.

Ø Chains may scratch or chip

aluminum wheels.
