The wheel could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and cause a serious accident. Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you removed or replace them with metric nuts of the same configuration: 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. 5. Check the inflation pressure. Refer to the specification charts on page 10-6. WARNING Do not drive with any tires that have incorrect air pressure: Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tires with incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accident. NOTE To prevent the jack and tool from rattling, store them properly. 7-17 Form No.8V89-EA-06F
