Tyre pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tyre temperatures are also
lower. When the tyre temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS
warning light may illuminate more frequently. Visually inspect the tyres daily before driving,
and check tyre pressures monthly with a tyre pressure gauge. When checking tyre pressures,
use of a digital tyre pressure gauge is recommended.

¾Each tyre, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should determine
the proper tyre inflation pressure for those tyres.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale when one or more of your tyres is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
¾To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a problem. As
a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tyre deflation or blow out.

When inspecting or adjusting the tyre air
pressures, do not apply excessive force to
the stem part of the wheel unit. The stem
part could be damaged.

NOTE
Each tyre pressure sensor has a unique ID
signal code. The signal code must be
registered with the TPMS before it can
work. The easiest way to do it is to have
an Authorised Mazda Dealer change your
tyre and complete ID signal code
registration.

NOTE
If the vehicle is driven within about 15
minutes of changing tyres, the tyre
pressure monitoring system warning light
will flash because the sensor ID signal
code would not have been registered. If
this happens, park the vehicle for about 15
minutes, after which the sensor ID signal
code will register upon driving the vehicle
for 10 minutes.

¾When replacing/repairing the tyres or
wheels or both, have the work done by
an Authorised Mazda Dealer, or the tyre
pressure sensors may be damaged.
¾The wheels equipped on your Mazda are
specially designed for installation of the
tyre pressure sensors. Do not use
non-genuine wheels, otherwise it may
not be possible to install the tyre pressure
sensors.

If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, or the tyre pres‐
sure warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed immediately and avoid sudden
manoeuvring and braking:
If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, or the tyre pres‐
sure warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high speeds, or
perform sudden manoeuvring or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen and result in an
accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or a flat, pull over to a safe position where you can
check the visual condition of the tyre and determine if you have enough air to proceed to a
place where air may be added and the system monitored again by an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or a tyre repair station.
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:
Ignoring the TPMS warning light is dangerous, even if you know why it is illuminated. Have
the problem taken care of as soon as possible before it develops into a more serious situa‐
tion that could lead to tyre failure and a dangerous accident.

When replacing/repairing the tyres or wheels or both, have the work done by an Authorised Mazda Repairer, or
the tyre pressure sensors may be damaged.
NOTE
xPerform tyre pressure adjustment when the tyres are cold. Tyre pressure will vary according to the tyre temperature, therefore let
the vehicle stand for 1 hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or less before adjusting the tyre pressures. When pressure is adjusted
on hot tyres to the cold inflation pressure, the TPMS warning light/beep may turn on after the tyres cool and pressure drops below
specification.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light, resulting from the tyre air pressure dropping due to cold ambient
temperature, may turn off if the ambient temperature rises. In this case, it will also be necessary to adjust the
tyre air pressures. If the TPMS warning light illuminates due to a drop in tyre air pressure, make sure to check
and adjust the tyre air pressures.
xAfter adjusting the tyre air pressures, it may require some time for the TPMS warning light to turn off. If the TPMS warning light
remains illuminated, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph) for 10 minutes, and then verify that it turns off.
xTyres lose air naturally over time and the TPMS cannot tell if the tyres are getting too soft over time or you have a flat. However,
when you find one low tyre in a set of four-that is an indication of trouble; you should have someone drive the vehicle slowly
forward so you can inspect any low tyre for cuts and any metal objects sticking through tread or sidewall. Put a few drops of
water in the valve stem to see if it bubbles indicating a bad valve. Leaks need to be addressed by more than simply refilling the
trouble tyre as leaks are dangerous Š take it to an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer which has all
the equipment to fix tyres, TPMS systems and order the best replacement tyre for your vehicle.
If the warning light illuminates again even after the tyre pressures are adjusted, there may be a tyre puncture.
