7-6
In Case of an Emergency
Flat Tire
Form No. 8Q36-EA-01F
To remove the spare tire
Turn the tire hold-down bolt
counterclockwise with the lug wrench.
To avoid damage to the temporary
spare or to the vehicle, observe the
following precautions:
•
Don’t exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
•
Avoid driving over obstacles.
Also, don’t drive through an
automatic car wash. This tire’s
diameter is smaller than a
conventional tire’s, so the ground
clearance is reduced about 25 mm
(1 in).
•
Don’t use a tire chain on this tire
because it won’t fit properly.
•
Don’t use your temporary spare on
any other vehicle; it has been
designed only for your Mazda.
•
Use only one temporary spare tire
on your vehicle at the same time.
