TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the MX-5 is equipped with TPMS that detects low tire 
pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting low i\
n 
one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a light in\
 the 
instrument cluster (pp. 31-32) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your tire 
pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure. Properly 
inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the syst\
em can 
operate normally.
•   The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
•    A tire rotation is performed.
•    Any tire or wheel is replaced.
•    The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead. 
Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light  is Illuminated)
 1   Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
  2   Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure 
(See tire label located on the driver’s side door opening) on all four (4) tires.
3   Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4     Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch” (left side  
of dash) until the TPMS warning light 
 in the 
instrument cluster flashes twice and a beep sound is 
heard once.
Tires
CAUTION:  If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire 
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS 
warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on if 
the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude may cause the TPMS warning 
light to turn on.
INSTANT MOBILITY SYSTEM (IMS)
The IMS emergency flat tire repair 
kit (located in the trunk) is for a 
temporary repair of a slightly damaged 
flat tire, resulting from running over 
nails, or similar sharp objects on the 
road surface. Refer to your Owner’s 
Manual for complete details.
