Below are instructions on what to do in case of a puncture copied directly from the handbook.

I would recommend reading them so you know what to do in an emergency (as the new MX-5 has no spare wheel)

I would also recommend downloading the following link which has been made into a word document to make the pages printer friendly.

To remove the jack

1. Turn the knob and remove the cover.

2. Turn the wing bolt anticlockwise.

WARNING

Ingestion of tyre sealant dangerous. In the event tyre sealant is accidentally swallowed, drink large amounts of water immediately and seek medical assistance. Do not allow children to touch the tyre sealant.

Tyre Sealant Contacting Eyes and Skin:

Tyre sealant that comes into contact with the eyes and skin is dangerous. If tyre sealant enters the eyes or contacts the skin, flush immediately with large amounts of water and seek medical assistance. Do not allow children to touch the tyre sealant. 

NOTE  

The tyre sealant cannot be reused. Purchase new tyre sealant at an authorised Mazda dealer.

The emergency flat tyre repair kit cannot be used in the following cases.

Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

• The period of effective use for the tyre  sealant has expired. (The period of effectiveness is indicated on the bottle label.)
• The tear or puncture exceeds about 4mm (0.16 in)
• The damage has occurred to an area of the tyre other than the tread.
• The vehicle has been driven with nearly no air remaining in the tyre.
• The tyre has come off the wheel rim.
• Damage to the wheel rim has occurred.
• The tyre has two or more punctures. 

Using the IMS Emergency Flat Tyre Repair Kit

1. Park on a level surface off the right-of-way and set the parking brake.
2. Put the vehicle in reverse (R) or 1, and turn off the engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
4. Unload passengers and luggage , and remove the emergency flat tyre repair kit.

   5. Shake the tyre sealant well.

CAUTION

If the bottle is shaken after the injection hose is screwed on, tyre sealant could spray out from the injection hose. Tyre sealant contacting clothing or other objects may be impossible to remove. Shake the bottle before screwing on the injection hose.

NOTE

The tyre sealant can be used at outside temperatures down to -30 c. In extremely cold temperatures (0 c (32F) or below), the tyre sealant hardens easily and injection of the sealant will be difficult.  Warm the sealant inside the vehicle before doing the injection work. 

CAUTION

If there is air remaining in the tyre when the valve core is removed, the valve core could fly out. Remove the valve core carefully.

NOTE

Store the valve core in a place where it won't get dirty.

8.

Turn the valve core anticlockwise with the valve core tool and remove the valve core.

The tyre sealant cannot be reused. Purchase a new tyre sealant kit at an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Do not throw away the empty tyre sealant bottle after use. Return the empty tyre sealant bottle to an Authorised Mazda Repairer when replacing the tyre. The empty tyre sealant bottle will need to be used to extract and dispose of the used sealant from the tyre.

WARNING

Attaching the vehicle speed restriction sticker to the steering wheel pad is dangerous. The sticker could interfere with air bag inflation and cause serious injury. Also, do not attach the sticker to the meter panel, as it would obstruct vision of areas such as warning light indicators or the speedometer.  

CAUTION

Before pulling out the compressor plug from the electrical socket, make sure the compressor power is off.

The compressor turns on and off with the push-button switch.

If the compressor operates slowly or becomes hot, it indicates overheating. Turn the compressor off immediately and leave it turned off for 30 minutes or longer.

WARNING

Check the tyre inflation pressure label (driver's door frame (left-hand drive model), driver's door (right - hand drive model)) for the correct tyre inflation pressure.

Do not use the compressor for longer than 10 minutes because using the compressor for long periods could damage it.

If the tyre does not inflate, repair of the tyre may not be possible. If the tyre does not reach the correct inflation pressure within a 10-minute period, it probably has received more extensive damage. When this happens, the emergency flat tyre repair kit cannot be used to repair the tyre. Contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

If the tyre has been over-inflated, loosen the screw cap on the compressor and bleed some air out. 

Operating the compressor above 300 kpa (3.1kgf/cm2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi) is dangerous. When the inflation pressure rises above 300 kpa (3.1kgf/cm2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi) , heated air will be exhausted from the back of the compressor and you could be burned. Never operate above 300 kpa (3.1kgf/cm2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi).

CAUTION

Drive carefully to an expert repairer, we recommend an authorised Mazda Repairer and keep the vehicle speed below 80 km/h (50 mph)

If the vehicle is driven 80 km/h (50 mph) or higher, the vehicle might begin to vibrate.

CAUTION

If the tyre inflation pressure falls below 130 kpa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar, 18.9 psi), repair cannot be done with the repair kit. Park the vehicle on a level surface off the right-of-way and contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda repairer.

If the tyre inflation pressure continues to remain low after repeating steps 14 to 21, park the vehicle  on a level surface off the right-of-way and contact an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda repairer.

When checking the tyre inflation pressure with the tyre pressure gauge on the compressor unit, make sure the compressor is turned off.

CAUTION

A tyre that has been temporarily repaired with the tyre tyre sealant cannot be reused. Mazda recommends replacing the tyre with a new one.

The wheel can be reused after any sealant adhering to it is wiped off and carefully inspected. However, replace the tyre valve with a new one.  

Inspect the emergency tyre repair kit at regular intervals.

Check the tyre sealant period of effective use.

Check the operation of the tyre compressor.

The tyre sealant has a period of effective use. Check the period of effective use indicated on the bottle label and do not use if it has expired. Have the tyre sealant replaced  at  an Authorised Mazda Dealer before the period of effective use has expired.
