CAUTION
Ø
When using the temporary spare
tire, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tire.
Drive carefully.
Ø
To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tire or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
Ø
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph).
Ø
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).
Ø
Do not use a tire chain on this
tire because it won't fit
properly.
Ø
Do not use your temporary
spare tire on any other vehicle;
it has been designed only for
your Mazda.
Ø
Use only one temporary spare
tire on your vehicle at the same
time.
Ø
(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 5-29).
To remove the spare tire
1. Remove the trunk board, and if a spare
tire cover is equipped remove it.
