Your Mazda is equipped with a temporary spare tire.

The temporary spare tire is lighter and smaller than a regular tire and is intended only for use in an emergency for a VERY short period of time. NEVER use the temporary spare tire for long distances or for an extended period.

WARNING

Do not mount the temporary spare tire in place of one of the front (driving) wheels. Driving with the temporary spare tire mounted in place of a front driving wheel is dangerous. Steering will be impaired.

You may lose control of the vehicle, especially on icy or snowy roads, and cause an accident. Move the rear wheel to the front and mount the temporary spare tire in the rear.

CAUTION

Directional stability may deteriorate while driving with the temporary spare tire. Drive carefully.

To avoid damaging the temporary spare tire or the vehicle, observe the following precautions:

  • Do not exceed 80 km/h.
  • Avoid driving over obstacles.
Do not use an automatic car wash. The temporary spare tire has a smaller diameter than a regular tire, reducing ground clearance by approximately 20 mm.
  • Do not fit snow chains to this wheel, as they will not sit properly on it.
  • Do not use the temporary spare wheel on any other vehicle (it is designed only for your Mazda).
  • Do not use more than one temporary spare wheel at the same time.

    • To remove the spare wheel

    1. Lift the luggage compartment floor mat.

    To install and secure the spare wheel

    Perform the above procedure in reverse order. After stowing the wheel, check that it is properly secured.
