As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pre ssure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when th e low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-in flated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduce s fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct ti re pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire 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 tire pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale wi ll flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequen ce 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 tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle th at prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
 To avoid false readings, the system samples fo r a little while before indicating a problem. As
a result it will not instantaneously regi ster a rapid tire deflation or blow out.
▼System Error Activation
When the warning light flashes, there may
be a system malfunction. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
A system error activation may occur in the
following cases:
When there is equipment or a device
near the vehicle using the same radio
frequency as that of the tire pressure
sensors.
When a metallic device such as a
non-genuine navigation system is
equipped near the center of the
dashboard, which may block radio
signals from the tire
pressure sensor to
the receiver unit.
When using the following devices in the
vehicle that may cause radio
interference with the receiver unit.
A digital device such as a personal
computer.
A current converter device such as a
DC-AC converter.
When excess snow or ice adheres to the
vehicle, especially around the wheels.
When the tire pressu re sensor batteries
are exhausted.
When using a wheel with no tire
pressure sensor installed.
When using tires with steel wire
reinforcement in the sidewalls.
When using tire chains.

Charging may not operate normally
under the following conditions:
 The mobile device is fully charged.
 There is foreign matter between the
mobile device and the charging area.
 The temperature of the mobile device
is high.
 The mobile device is placed with the
charging side facing upward.
 The mobile device is placed in a
position extremely deviating from the
center of the charging area.
 Your vehicle is in an area where strong
radio waves or electrical noise occur
such as near a television tower, power
plant, or airport.
 The Near Field Communication (NFC)
function setting of the mobile device is
on (depends on the model of the
mobile device).
 Keep the following items away from the
charging area. Otherwise the data stored
on the mobile device could be erased or
the device could malfunction.
 Magnetic items such as magnets,

mobile device could be deleted.
 Do not wipe the Wireless Charger (Qi)
using oil, alcohol, or thinner, or spray
hairspray or insecticide onto it.
Otherwise, it could cause damage or
cracking.Do not leave mobile devices in the cabin.
The temperature inside the cabin may
become very hot, causing the devices to
malfunction.

NOTE
A mobile device larger than the
charging area cannot be charged. In
addition, even if the mobile device is in
the charging area, the charging
efficiency may decrease or charging
may not be possible depending on where
the mobile device is placed.
If the function to reduce noise on the
radio is used, fast charging may be
disabled depending on the mobile device
being charged.
If the LED indicator is flashing in amber
or green, the charging efficiency is low.
Check that there is no foreign matter
between the mobile device and the
charging area, and position the mobile
device near the center of the charging
area.
Depending on the mobile device case or
accessories used, the mobile device may
not charge, or the charging efficiency
may be reduced resulting in a longer
charging time. If charging does not start
even when a mobile device is placed on
the charging area, remove the mobile
device case or any accessories.
While the keyless entry is operating,
charging may stop temporarily, however,
this does not indicate a problem.
During charging, the Wireless Charger
(Qi) and the mobile device become
warm, however, this does not indicate a
problem.

Parking lights/Front side-marker lights
(type B)
NOTE
When replacing a bulb for the front turn
signal lights and parking lights/front
side-marker lights, turn the steering wheel
and change the direction in which the tires
are pointed to the position where the bulb
replacement can be done easily.
Turn the steering wheel after starting the
engine and stop the engine after you finish
turning the steering wheel.
1. If you are changing the right bulb, start the engine, turn the steering wheel all
the way to the right, and turn off
engine. If you are changing the left

Overheating
If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on, the
vehicle loses power, or you hear a loud
knocking or pinging noise, the engine is
probably too hot.
WARNING
Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work
near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is
running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the
engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either cooling
system cap when the engine and radiator
are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot out
under pressure and cause serious injury.
Open the hood ONLY after steam is no
longer escaping from the engine:
Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the temperature gauge indicates
overheating or the high engine coolant
temperature warning light turns on:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
park off the right-of-way.
2. Shift into park (P).
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is escaping from the engine
compartment.

If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then
open the hood and start the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the hood and idle the engine
until it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and call an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.
7. When cool, check the coolant level.
