With the tire facing outward, punch a hole through the vinyl bag and the center hole, using the flat tire securing bolt. WARNING Loose 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. Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts. Metric Studs and Lug Nuts: 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. Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you removed or replace them with metric nuts of the same configuration. 5. If your vehicle is equipped with a center cap, pry off the center cap with the beveled end of the jack lever. 6. Put the flat tire in the special vinyl bag and tie it at the top. 8. Lift the anchor clip on the back of third-row seat. 7-14 Form No.8U61-EA-05G
