Spare Tyre

*

Your Mazda has a temporary spare tyre.
The temporary spare tyre is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tyre, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spare tyres should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.

WARNING

Do not install the temporary spare tyre
on the front wheels (driving wheels):
Driving with the temporary spare tyre
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
tyre to the front wheel and install the
temporary spare tyre to the rear.

CAUTION

When using the temporary spare

tyre, driving stability may decrease
compared to when using only the
conventional tyre. Drive carefully.

To avoid damage to the temporary

spare tyre 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 tyre's diameter is
smaller than a conventional tyre,
so the ground clearance is reduced.

Do not use a tyre chain on this tyre

because it will not

¿ t properly.

Do not use your temporary spare

tyre on any other vehicle, it has
been designed only for your
Mazda.

Use only one temporary spare tyre

on your vehicle at the same time.

Shake the bottle before screwing on the
injection hose.

NOTE

The tyre sealant can be used at outside
temperatures down to -30 °C (-22 °F). In
extremely cold temperatures (0 °C
(32 °F) or below), the tyre sealant
hardens easily and injection of the
sealant will be dif

¿ cult. Warm the

sealant inside the vehicle before doing
the injection work.
