Spare Tire
The temporary spare tire is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tire, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tires should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.
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,
driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tire. Drive carefully.
To avoid damage to the temporary
spare tire or to the vehicle, observe
the following precautions:
Do not exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
Avoid driving over obstacles. 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.
Do not use a tire chain on this tire
because it will not fit properly.
Do not use your temporary spare
tire on any other vehicle, it has
been designed only for your
Mazda.
