Safety features are an important part of any vehicle, especially if you’re aiming to give one as a gift. The spare tire in a
Mazda 3
can be found in a compartment inside of the trunk. Here’s how you access it:
  • Open the trunk and lift the luggage compartment mat
  • Turn the bolt in the center of the tire counterclockwise
  • Lift the tire from its housing
You should know that the spare tire is significantly lighter and smaller than a conventional tire and should only be used in emergency situations as a temporary tire. Use this tire for very short periods of time to avoid damage to the vehicle and potential accidents.
