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 of the vehicle and have an accident. Put the spare tire on the rear axle and move a regular tire to the front.
CAUTION
l When using the temporary spare tire,
driving stability may decrease compared to when using only the conventional tire. Drive carefully. l 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 wash. This tire's diameter is smaller than a conventional tire, so the ground clearance is reduced about 7 mm (0.3 in).
l Do not use tire chains on any type
of tire, including the spare tire. 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.

In Case of an Emergency Flat Tire
Changing a Flat Tire
NOTE
If the following occurs while driving, it could indicate a flat tire. l Steering becomes difficult. l The vehicle begins to vibrate
excessively.
l The vehicle pulls in one direction.
If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a level spot that is well off the road and out of the way of traffic to change the tire. Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a busy road is dangerous.
WARNING
Jacking a Vehicle: Changing a tire is dangerous if not done properly. The vehicle can slip off the jack and seriously injure someone. Be sure to follow the directions for changing a tire, and never get under a vehicle that is supported only by a jack.
Passenger in Vehicle Supported by a Jack: Allowing someone to remain in a vehicle supported by a jack is dangerous. The occupant could cause the vehicle to fall resulting in serious injury. Never allow anyone inside a vehicle supported by a jack.
NOTE
Make sure the jack is well lubricated before using it.

qLocking Lug Nutsí If your vehicle has optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, one on each wheel will lock the tires and you must use a special key to unlock them. This key is attached to the lug wrench and is stored with the spare tire. Register them with the lock manufacturer by filling out the card provided in the glove box and mailing it in the accompanying envelope. If you lose this key, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer or use the lock manufacturer's order form, which is with the registration card.

qMounting the Spare Tire 1. Remove dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel and hub, including the hub bolts, with a cloth.
WARNING
Removing Dirt and Grime from Wheels, Hubs and Hub Bolts: When changing or replacing a tire, not removing dirt and grime from the mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and hub bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, resulting in an accident. Make sure the mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and lug nuts are clean before changing or replacing tires.

WARNING
WARNING
Incorrect Tire Air Pressure: Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tires with incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accident. Don't drive with any tires that have incorrect air pressure. When you check the regular tires' air pressure, check the spare tire, too.
NOTE
To prevent the jack and tool from rattling, store them properly.
Loose Lug Nuts: Improperly or loosely tightened lug nuts are dangerous. The wheel could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and cause a serious accident. Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts.
Metric Studs and Lug Nuts: Because the wheel studs and lug nuts on your Mazda have metric threads, using a non-metric nut is dangerous. On a metric stud, it would not secure the wheel and would damage the stud, which could cause the wheel to slip off and cause an accident. Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you removed or replace them with metric nuts of the same configuration.
5. Remove the center cap.
6. Store the damaged tire, using the wing
bolt to hold it in place.

In Case of an Emergency Overheating
Overheating
NOTE
If the temperature gauge indicates overheating, the vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the engine is probably too hot.
WARNING
Electrical Fan and Engine
Inspection: Working near the electrical cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. You could be hit by the fan and seriously injured. Turn off the ignition switch and make sure the fan is not running before attempting to work near the electrical cooling fan.
Cooling System Caps:
When the engine and radiator are hot, scalding coolant and steam may shoot out under pressure and cause serious injury. Don't remove either cooling system cap when the engine and radiator are hot.
Steam from Overheated Engine: Steam from an overheated engine is dangerous. The escaping steam could seriously burn you. Open the hood ONLY after steam is no longer escaping from the engine.
Form No.8U01-EA-05H
Once the engine coolant exceeds a preset temperature, an electrical cooling fan turns on. It will continue running for about 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to off.
If the temperature gauge indicates overheating:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
park off the right-of-way.
2. Shift into neutral.
Apply the parking brake.
3. Turn off the air conditioner.
4. Check whether coolant or steam is
escaping from under the hood or from the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine compartment: Don't go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine. Wait until the steam dissipates, then open the hood and start the engine.
