Driving Tips
Tyre Chains
Check local regulations before using tyre
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 tyre; it may result in damage to
the vehicle and to the tyre.
 
Do not use chains on roads that are
free of snow or ice. The tyres and
chains could be damaged.
 
Chains may scratch or chip
aluminium wheels.
NOTE
 
If your vehicle is equipped with the
tyre pressure monitoring system, the
system may not function correctly
when using tyre chains.
 
Use of tyre chains on a vehicle
equipped with 185/60R16 tyres could
cause interference with the vehicle
body and scratching. If tyre chains
are to be used, replace both the front
and rear tyres with 185/65R15 tyres
and replace both the front and rear
wheels with genuine Mazda 15-inch
wheels of the same size, and use
genuine Mazda tyre chains. Consult
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Install the chains on the front tyres only.
Do not use chains on the rear tyres.
Tyre chain selection (Europe)
Mazda recommends hexagon type
steel ring chains. Select the proper type
according to your tyre size.
Tyre size Tyre chain
185/65R15 Hexagon type

Although Mazda recommends hexagon
type steel ring chains, all chains within
the installation speci¿ cations may be
used.
