on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tire
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 tire to the front wheel and
install the temporary spare tire to the
rear.
CAUTION
ØWhen using the temporary spare
tire, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tire. Drive carefully.

spare tire or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
ØDo not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph).

diameter is smaller than a
conventional tire, so the ground
clearance is reduced.

spare tire on any other vehicle,

your Mazda.
ØUse only one temporary spare
tire on your vehicle at the same
