Wa r n i n g
When the warning light illuminate s, and the warning beep sound is heard when tyre pressure is too low in one
or more tyres.
WARNING
If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, 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 flashes, 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 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 da ngerous, 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.

Action to be taken
Inspect the tyres and adjust to the specified inflation pressur e (page 6-43).
CAUTION
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
•Perform tyre pressure adjustment when the tyres are cold. Tyre pressure will vary according to the tyre temper-
ature, 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 th e tyre air pressure dropping due to cold ambient
temperature, may turn off if the ambien t temperature rises. In this case, it will also be necessary to adjust the
tyre air pressures. If the TPMS warn ing light illuminates due to a drop in tyre air pressure, make sure to check
and adjust the tyre air pressures.
•After 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 mi-
nutes, and then verify that it turns off.
•Tyres 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 se t 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. Pu t a few drops of water in the valve stem to see if it bubbles indicating a
bad valve. Leaks need to be addresse d by more than simply refilling the trouble tyre as leaks are dangerous ―
take it to an expert repairer, we recommend an Authoris ed 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 adju sted, there may be a tyre puncture.
