If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
CAUTION
  When using the temporary spare
tyre, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tyre. Drive carefully.
  To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tyre 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 tyre's diameter is
smaller than a conventional tyre,
so the ground clearance is reduced
about 10 mm (0.4 in).
 


 Do not use a tyre chain on this tyre
because it will not fi t properly.




 Do not use your temporary spare
tyre on any other vehicle, it has
been designed only for your
Mazda.
 


 Use only one temporary spare tyre
on your vehicle at the same time.
To remove the spare tyre
1. Lift the boot/luggage compartment mat.

Changing a Flat Tyre
(With spare tyre)
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it
could indicate a fl at tyre.


 Steering becomes diffi cult. 
 The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
  The vehicle pulls in one direction.

If you have a fl at tyre, drive slowly to a
level spot that is well off the road and out
of the way of traffi c to change the tyre.
Stopping in traffi c or on the shoulder of a
busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
Be sure to follow the directions for
changing a tyre:
Changing a tyre is dangerous if not
done properly. The vehicle can slip off
the jack and seriously injure someone.
No person should place any portion
of their body under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
Never allow anyone inside a vehicle
supported by a jack:
Allowing someone to remain in
a vehicle supported by a jack is
dangerous. The occupant could cause
the vehicle to fall resulting in serious
injury.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated
before using it.
1. Park on a level surface off the right-of-
way and fi rmly set the parking brake.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle in Park (P), a manual
transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn
off the engine.
3. Turn on the hazard warning fl asher.
4. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traffi c.

the fl at tyre. When blocking a wheel,
place a tyre block both in front and
behind the tyre.

When blocking a tyre, use rocks or
wood blocks of suffi cient size if possible
to hold the tyre in place.
