The Tire Pressure Monitoring System í does not alleviate the need to check the tire condition every day, including whether the tires all look inflated properly. Inspect all tire pressure monthly (including the spare í) when the tires are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, top handling, and minimum tire wear. When checking the tire pressures, use of a digital tire pressure gauge is recommended. WARNING Using Different Tire Types: Driving your vehicle with different types of tires is dangerous. It could cause poor handling and poor braking; leading to loss of control. Use all radial, all bias-belted, or all bias-type tires. Using Wrong-Sized Tires: Using any other tire size than what is specified for your Mazda (page 10-6) is dangerous. It could seriously affect ride, handling, ground clearance, tire clearance, and speedometer calibration. This could cause you to have an accident. Use only tires that are the correct size specified for your Mazda. Refer to the specification charts (page 10-6). qTire Inflation Pressure WARNING Incorrect Tire Inflation: Overinflation or underinflation of tires is dangerous. Adverse handling or unexpected tire failure could result in a serious accident. Always inflate the tires to the correct pressure (page 10-6). í Some models. 8-27 Form No.8U58-EA-05J
