Step-by-step instructions
Follow these steps
Follow the written instructions in order; illustrations are optional, not a requirement for a complete guide. If a component or label looks different on your car, stop and check your own manual.
- Step 1 of 7
Verify DJ5FS diesel trim and exact tyres
Confirm your Mazda Demio is DJ5FS with SKYACTIV-D 1.5. Inspect the factory tyre size, typically 185/65R15 88S or 185/60R16 86H as covered by Mazda's referenced edition.
Check before moving onAll steps ↑Chassis, engine and fitted wheel size match the cited manual.
- Step 2 of 7
Locate Mazda's pressure label
Mazda explicitly instructs owners to read the original pressure label on the body when the driver's door is open. Confirm your car's specific placard before applying a published table.
Check before moving onAll steps ↑Door label is legible and agrees with the factory configuration.
- Step 3 of 7
Record front and rear cold settings
Mazda's DJ edto chart specifies 260 kPa for the FRONT and 230 kPa for the REAR on the indicated SKYACTIV-D 1.5 original wheel packages. These are cold-target figures, not an absolute tyre sidewall limit.
Check before moving onAll steps ↑Front/rear targets and fitted tyre size are recorded.
- Step 4 of 7
Measure each tyre before driving
Check while tyres are cold. Press the gauge straight onto each valve; repeat if the reading fluctuates. Log each wheel rather than assuming both tyres on an axle are identical.
Check before moving onAll steps ↑Reliable four-wheel readings obtained.
- Step 5 of 7
Correct tyre pressures gradually
Add or release air in small amounts, remeasuring each time, until each tyre agrees with the exact car's manufacturer placard; remember the front/rear distinction.
Check before moving onAll steps ↑Both front tyres and both rear tyres are at their verified targets.
- Step 6 of 7
Recheck tread and valves
Look for uneven wear, embedded debris, sidewall cracks or bulges. Refit valve caps securely. If repeated losses occur, get the wheel inspected instead of repeatedly adding air.
Check before moving onAll steps ↑No obvious damage, all caps refitted.
- Step 7 of 7
Log the inspection and recheck later
Note the date, tyre size and four readings. Repeat checks regularly and before long journeys, and verify again after changing tyre or wheel sizes.
Check before moving onAll steps ↑A dated record is available.
