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.
