Spare Tire

Your Mazda has a temporary spare tire.

The temporary spare tire is lighter and

smaller than a conventional tire, and is

designed only for emergency use and

should be used only for VERY short

periods. Temporary spare tires should

NEVER be used for long drives or

extended periods.

WARNING

Do not install the temporary spare tire

on the front wheels (driving wheels):

Driving with the temporary spare tire

on one of the front driving wheels is

dangerous. Handling will be a

ff

ected.

You could lose control of the vehicle,

especially on ice or snow bound roads,

and have an accident. Move a regular

tire to the front wheel and install the

temporary spare tire to the rear.

CAUTION



When using the temporary spare tire,

driving stability may decrease

compared to when using only the

conventional tire. Drive carefully.



To avoid damage to the temporary

spare tire or to the vehicle, observe

the following precautions:



Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).



Avoid driving over obstacles. Also,

do not drive through an automatic

car wash. This tire's diameter is

smaller than a conventional tire, so

the ground clearance is reduced.



Do not use a tire chain on this tire

because it will not 

fi

t properly.



Do not use your temporary spare

tire on any other vehicle, it has

been designed only for your

Mazda.



Use only one temporary spare tire

on your vehicle at the same time.
