Taking Action
Take the appropriate action and verify that the warning light turns off.
Signal Warning Action to be taken
(Illuminate)
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System Warning Light
* When the warning light illuminates, and
the warning beep sound is heard (about 3
seconds), tire pressure is too low in one or
more tires.
WARNING
If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or fl ashes,
or the tire pressure warning beep
sound is heard, decrease vehicle
speed immediately and avoid sudden
maneuvering and braking:
If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or fl ashes, or
the tire pressure warning beep sound
is heard, it is dangerous to drive the
vehicle at high speeds, or perform
sudden maneuvering or braking.
Vehicle drivability could worsen and
result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak
or a fl at, pull over to a safe position
where you can check the visual
condition of the tire and determine
if you have enough air to proceed to
a place where air may be added and
the system monitored again by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer or a tire
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 tire failure and a
dangerous accident. Inspect the tires and adjust to the
specifi ed infl ation pressure (page
6-43 ).
NOTE
Perform tire pressure adjustment when
the tires are cold. Tire pressure will
vary according to the tire temperature,
therefore let the vehicle stand for 1
hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or
less before adjusting the tire pressures.
When pressure is adjusted on hot tires
to the cold infl ation pressure, the TPMS
warning light/beep may turn on after
the tires cool and pressure drops below
specifi cation.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning
light, resulting from the tire 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 tire air pressures. If the
TPMS warning light illuminates due to
a drop in tire air pressure, make sure to
check and adjust the tire air pressures.
Tires lose air naturally over time and
the TPMS cannot tell if the tires are
getting too soft over time or you have
a fl at. However, when you fi nd one low
tire 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 tire 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 reinfl ating the tire as leaks are
dangerous — take it to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
