Parking in an Emergency
▼Parking in an Emergency
The hazard warning lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway in an emergency.
The hazard warning lights warn other
drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take
extreme caution when near it.
Depress the hazard warning flasher
and all the direction indicators will
flash. The hazard warning indicator
lights in the instrument cluster flash
simultaneously.
NOTE
xThe direction indicators do not work
when the hazard warning lights are
on.
xCheck local regulations about the
use of hazard warning lights while
the vehicle is being towed to verify
that it is not in violation of the law.

▼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
¾When using the temporary spare
tyre, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tyre. Drive carefully.
¾To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tyre or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
