▼ Jack
To remove the jack

▼ Spare Tire
Your M azda has a temporary spare tire.
It’s lighter and smaller than a
conventional tire, and is designed only for
emergency use and should be used only
for VERY short periods. Temporary
spares should NEVER be used for long
drives or extended periods.
A WARNING
Driving with a Temporary Spare Tire
on Ice or Snow:
Driving with a spare tire on the front
(driving) wheels on ice or snow is
dangerous. Handling will be affected.
You could lose control o f the vehicle
and have an accident. P ut the spare
tire on the rear axle and move a
regular tire to the front.
& CAUTION
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.
To remove the spare tire
Turn the tire hold-down bolt
counterclockwise with the lug wrench.
