CAUTION
To avoid damage to the temporary
spare or to the vehicle, observe the
following precautions:
l
Don't exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
l
Avoid driving over obstacles.
Also, don't drive through an
automatic car was h. This tire's
diameter is smaller than a
conventional tire's, so the ground
clearance is reduced about 25 mm (1
in).
l
Don't use a tire chain on this tire
because it won't fit properly.
l
Don't use your temporary spare on
any other vehicle; it has been
designed only for your Mazda.
l
Use only one temporary spare tire on
your vehicle at the same time.
(With limited slip differential)
When using the temporary spare tire on
the rear axle, replace it with a standard
tire as soon as possible. The size
difference between the spare and the
standard tire will cause the limited slip
differential to malfunction.
NOTE
(With Tire Pressure Monitoring
System)
A tire pressure sensor is not installed to
the temporary spare tire. The warning
light will flash continuously while the
temporary spare tire is being used (page
5-26).
