WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare tire
in place of the front wheels (driving
wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tire
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Especially on ice or snow.
Handling will be affected. You could
lose control of the vehicle and have
an accident. Move a regular tire to
the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tire to the rear.
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, so the ground
clearance is reduced about
25 mm (1 in).
Ø
Do not use a tire chain on this
tire because it will not 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.
NOTE

temporary spare tire. The warning light will

tire is being used (page 5-29).
