qSpare 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
When using the temporary spare
l
tyre, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tyre. Drive carefully.
To avoid damage to the temporary
l
spare tyre or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
l
Avoid driving over obstacles.
l
Also, do not drive through an
automatic car wash. This tyre's
diameter is smaller than a
conventional tyre, so the ground
clearance is reduced.
Do not use a tyre chain on this
l
tyre because it won't fit properly.
Do not use your temporary spare
l
tyre on any other vehicle, it has
been designed only for your
Mazda.
Use only one temporary spare tyre
l
on your vehicle at the same time.
To remove the spare tyre
