Spare Tyre *
Your Mazda has a temporary spare tyre.
The temporary spare tyre is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tyre, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tyres should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.
WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare tyre
on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tyre
on one of the front driving wheels is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control of the vehicle,
especially on ice or snow bound roads,
and have an accident. Move a regular
tyre to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tyre to the rear.

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 20 mm (0.8 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 up the luggage board.
2. Pull the luggage board outward a
little and insert the opposite end into
the holders so that the luggage board
stands.

CAUTION
If the bottle is shaken after the injection
hose is screwed on, tyre sealant could
spray out from the injection hose. Tyre
sealant contacting clothing or other
objects may be impossible to remove.
Shake the bottle before screwing on the
injection hose.
NOTE
The tyre sealant can be used at outside
temperatures down to -30 °C (-22 °F). In
extremely cold temperatures (0 °C (32
°F) or below), the tyre sealant hardens
easily and injection of the sealant will
be diffi cult. Warm the sealant inside the
vehicle before doing the injection work.
