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
temporary spare tire is being used (page
5-22).
To remove the spare tire
1. Fold the third-row seat forward (page
2-11).
