In Case of an Emergency
Flat Tire
w Jack
CAUTION
To remove the jack
Turn the wing bolt counterclockwise.
To avoid damage to the temporary
spare or to the vehicle, observe the
following precautions:
Wing bolt
•
Don’t exceed 80 km/h (50 mph).
Jack
• Avoid 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).
•
Don’t use a tire chain on this tire
because it won’t fit properly.
To secure the jack
•
Don’t use your temporary spare on
any other vehicle; it has been
designed only for your Mazda.
Perform the removal procedure in reverse.
w Spare Tire
•
Use only one temporary spare tire
on your vehicle at the same time.
Your Mazda has a temporary spare tire.
The temporary spare tire is lighter and
smaller than a conventional tire, and is
designed only for emergency use and
should be used only for VERY short
periods. Temporary spares should
NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.
(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.
WARNING
Driving with a Temporary Spare Tire
on Ice or Snow:
Driving with a spare tire on the rear
(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 front axle and move a
regular tire to the rear.

Automotive readers have rated 2003 Mazda MX 5 Miata Owners Manual 1.0 out of 1.0 based on 1 product reviews. No matter what I do this will not download. I have followed all instructions and even the instructions for override because Windows states this software has undesirable problems ( but it makes the same claim for all Mazda Manuals I've found on the net) Now I am also unablre to review pages of the manual. I'm being stopped at the cover. I need access to this manual. Please help.
