Warning Light 
*   If the tyre pressure monitoring system has a malfunction, the tyre pressure warning 
light  À ashes for about 1 minute when the ignition is switched ON and then continues 
illuminating. Have your vehicle checked by an expert repairer, we recommend an 
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as possible.
 WARNING
 If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or  À ashes, or the tyre 
pressure 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  À ashes, or the 
tyre pressure 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  À at, 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 situation that could lead to tyre failure and a dangerous accident.

  Low  Fuel  Warning 
Light  The light turns on when the remaining fuel 
is about 9.0 L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal). NOTE
 The light illumination timing may 
vary because fuel inside the fuel tank 
moves around according to the driving 
conditions and the vehicle posture.  Add  fuel. 
  
 
  Seat  Belt  Warning 
Light (Front seat)  The seat belt warning light turns on if the 
driver or front passenger's seat is occupied 
and the seat belt is not fastened with the 
ignition switched ON.
  If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is 
unfastened (only when the front passenger 
seat is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at 
a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), 
the warning light  À ashes. After a short 
time, the warning light stops  À ashing, but 
remains illuminated. If a seat belt remains 
unfastened, the warning light  À ashes again 
for a given period of time.
 NOTE
     If the driver or front passenger's seat 
belt is unfastened after the warning 
light turns on, and the vehicle speed 
exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph), the 
warning light  À ashes again. 
 
    Placing heavy items on the front 
passenger's seat may cause the front 
passenger's seat belt warning function 
to operate depending on the weight of 
the item. 
 
    To allow the front passenger's seat 
weight sensor to function properly, do 
not place and sit on an additional seat 
cushion on the front passenger's seat. 
The sensor may not function properly 
because the additional seat cushion 
could cause sensor interference. 
 
    If a small child is seated on the front 
passenger's seat, the warning light may 
not operate.  Fasten the seat belts.

  Tyre  Pressure 
Monitoring System 
Warning Light 
*   When the warning light illuminates, and 
the warning beep sound is heard (about 3 
seconds), tyre pressure is too low in one or 
more tyres.
 WARNING
 If the tyre pressure monitoring system 
warning light illuminates or  À ashes, 
or the tyre pressure 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  À ashes, or 
the tyre pressure 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  À at, 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 situation 
that could lead to tyre failure and a 
dangerous accident.  Inspect the tyres and adjust to the speci ¿ ed 
in À ation pressure (page  6-40 ).
 NOTE
     Perform 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 in À ation pressure, the TPMS 
warning light/beep may turn on after 
the tyres cool and pressure drops below 
speci ¿ cation. 
 Also, an illuminated TPMS warning 
light, resulting from the tyre air 
pressure dropping due to cold ambient 
temperature will remain illuminated 
even 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. 
 
    Tyres lose air naturally over time and 
the TPMS cannot tell if the tyres are 
getting too soft over time or you have 
a  À at. However, when you  ¿ nd 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 rein À ating the tyre as leaks 
are dangerous — take it to an expert 
repairer, we recommend an Authorised 
Mazda Repairer.
