WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare tire
on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tire
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
tire to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tire to the rear.
CAUTION
When using the temporary spare tire,
l
driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tire. Drive carefully.
To avoid damage to the temporary
l
spare tire 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 tire's
diameter is smaller than a
conventional tire, so the ground
clearance is reduced about 7 mm
(0.3 in).
Do not use tire chains on any type
l
of tire, including the spare tire.
Do not use your temporary spare
l
tire on any other vehicle, it has
been designed only for your
Mazda.
Use only one temporary spare tire
l
on your vehicle at the same time.
