CAUTION
l
When using the temporary spare tire,
driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tire.
Drive carefully.
l
To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tire or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
l
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
l
Avoid driving over obstacles.
Also, do not drive through an
automatic car wash. This tire's
diameter is smaller than a
conventional tire's, so the ground
clearance is reduced about 25 mm
(1 in).
l
Do not use a tire chain on this tire
because it won't fit properly.
l
Do not use your temporary spare
tire on any other vehicle; it has
been designed only for your
Mazda.
l
Use only one temporary spare tire
on your vehicle at the same time.
l
(With limited slip differential)
When using the temporary spare tire
on the front axle, replace it with a
standard tire as soon as possible. The
size difference between the spare and
the standard tire will cause the
limited slip differential to
malfunction.
NOTE
(With Tire Pressure Monitoring
System)
A tire pressure sensor is not installed to
the temporary spare tire. The warning
light will flash continuously while the
temporary spare tire is being used (page
5-27).
To remove the spare tire
1. Remove the trunk board, and if a spare
tire cover is equipped remove it.
