Check local regulations before using tire chains.

CAUTION

  • Chains may affect handling.
  • Do not go faster than 50 km/h 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 tire; it may result in damage to the vehicle and to the tire.
  • Do not use chains on roads that are free of snow or ice. The tires and chains could be damaged.
  • Chains may scratch or chip aluminum wheels.

NOTE

The tire pressure monitoring system may not function correctly when using tire chains.

Install the chains on the front tires only.

Do not use chains on the rear tires.

Please consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Installing the chains

Always follow the chain manufacturer's instructions.

2. Retighten the chains after driving 1/2—1 km (1/4—1/2 mile).
