CAUTION
ØWhen 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:
ØDo not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph).
ØAvoid 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
10 mm (0.4 in).
ØDo not use a tire chain on this
tire because it will not fit
properly.
ØDo not use your temporary
spare tire on any other vehicle,
it has been designed only for
your Mazda.
ØUse 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 5-32).
