CAUTION

l

When using the temporary spare tire,
driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tire.
Drive carefully.

l

To avoid damage to the temporary
spare or to the vehicle, observe the
following precautions:

l

Don't exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).

l

Avoid driving over obstacles.
Also, don't drive through an
automatic car wash. This tire's
diameter is smaller than a
conventional tire, so the ground
clearance is reduced about 25 mm
(1 in).

l

Don't use a tire chain on this tire
because it won't fit properly.

l

Don't use your temporary spare
on any other vehicle; it has been
designed only for your Mazda.

l

Use only one temporary spare tire
on your vehicle at the same time.

NOTE

(With Tire Pressure Monitoring
System)
A tire pressure sensor is not installed to
the temporary spare tire. The warning
light will flash continuously while the
