Mazda CX-3, Owner'S Manual

Page: 635 / 785

Replace all four tyres at the same time:
Replacing just one tyre is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle control.
Mazda strongly recommends that you
replace all four tyres at the same time.
If a tyre wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tyre when this happens.

Worn tread
You should replace the tyre before the
band crosses the entire tread.
(With tyre pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tyre pressure,
initialization of the tyre pressure
monitoring system is necessary to make
the system operate normally.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization on page 4-232.

Temporary Spare Tyre
*
Inspect the temporary spare tyre at least
monthly to make sure it is properly
inflated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tyre condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tyre is easier to
handle because of its construction which is
lighter and smaller than a conventional
tyre. This tyre should be used only for an
emergency and only for a short distance.
Use the temporary spare tyre only until the
conventional tyre is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tyre on page 9-9.
CAUTION
¾
Do not use your temporary spare tyre rim
with a snow tyre or a conventional tyre.
Neither will properly fi t and could
damage both tyre and rim.
¾
The temporary spare tyre has a tread life
of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The
tread life may be shorter depending on
driving conditions.
¾
The temporary spare tyre is for limited
use, however, if the tread wear
solid-band indicator appears, replace the
tyre with the same type of temporary
spare (page 6-43).
