CAUTION
To avoid damage to the temporary
spare or to the vehicle, observe the
following precautions:
lDon't exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
lAvoid 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).
lDon't use a tire chain on this tire
because it won't fit properly.
lDon't use your temporary spare on
any other vehicle; it has been
designed only for your Mazda.
lDo not tow a trailer while using this
tire.
lUse only one temporary spare tire on
your vehicle at the same time.
To remove the spare tire
1. Have everyone get out of the vehicle
and away from the vehicle and traffic.2. For side-spoiler equipped vehicles,
remove the fasteners on both sides of
the spoiler cap by turning them
counterclockwise.
Pull the spoiler cap out.
NOTE
After installing the side spoiler cap,
make sure it is securely attached.
