NOTE • Check the tire inflation pressure label (driver's door) for the correct tire inflation pressure. • Do not use the compressor for longer than 10 minutes because using the compressor for long periods could damage it. • If the tire does not inflate, repair of the tire may not be possible. If the tire does not reach the correct inflation pressure within a 10minute period, it probably has received more extensive damage. When this happens, the emergency flat tire repair kit cannot be used to repair the tire. Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer. • If the tire has been over-inflated, loosen the screw cap on the compressor and bleed some of the air out. 17. When the tire has been inflated to the proper inflation pressure, turn the compressor switch off and remove the compressor hose from the tire valve. 18. Install the tire valve cap. 19. Put the emergency flat tire repair kit in the trunk and continue driving. (With Tire Pressure Monitoring System) If the tire is not properly inflated, the tire pressure monitoring system warning light will illuminate (page 5-25). 20. After driving the vehicle for 10 minutes or 5 km (3 miles), check the tire pressure with the tire pressure gauge equipped with the compressor. If the tire pressure has fallen below the correct tire pressure, inflate the tire to the correct pressure again following the steps from number 15. 7-11 Form No. 8R65-EA-03C
