qSpare 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)
when driving on ice or snow:
Driving with a spare tire on the front
(driving) wheels on ice or snow is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle
and have an accident. Put the spare
tire on the rear axle and move a
regular tire to the front.
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.
