When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
*Some models.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System *
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four tires. If
the air pressure of one or more tires is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tire pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tire pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the speci ¿ ed
tire pressure (value on the tire pressure label). Follow the procedure and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-108 .
The warning light À ashes when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-26 .

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the windshield
let the wiper arm down easily, do not
let it slap down on the windshield.
2. Hold the end of the rubber and pull
until the tabs are free of the metal
support.

3. Remove the metal stiffeners from each
blade rubber and install them in the
new blade.
CAUTION
¾ Do not bend or discard the stiff eners. You
need to use them again.
¾ If the metal stiff eners are switched,
the blade's wiping effi ciency could be
reduced.
So do not use the driver's side metal
stiff eners on the passenger's side, or vice
versa.
¾ Be sure to reinstall the metal stiff eners in
the new blade rubber so that the curve
is the same as it was in the old blade
rubber.
4. Carefully insert the new blade rubber.
Then install the blade assembly in the
reverse order of removal.
N O T E
Install the blade so that the tabs are
toward the bottom of the wiper arm.

11. Insert the air compressor plug into the
accessory socket inside the vehicle and
switch the ignition to ACC.
Refer to Accessory Sockets on page
5-134 .
Compressor
Compressor plug
CAUTION
When inserting the air compressor
plug into or removing it from the
accessory socket, make sure that the
air compressor switch is off . When
turning the air compressor on/off , use
the air compressor switch.
12. The sealant is injected into the tire
when the air compressor is switched
on. After the sealant is injected
completely, wait until the tire in À ation
pressure increases to the speci ¿ ed tire
in À ation pressure.
N O T E
The in À ation pressure may increase to
about 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 3 bar, 43.5
psi) temporarily to inject the sealant
through the valve. Normally, the in À ation
pressure decreases gradually and it
reaches the actual in À ation pressure after
about 30 seconds.
WARNING
Never use the air compressor above 300
kPa (3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi):
Using the air compressor at an
infl ation pressure above 300 kPa (3.1
kgf/cm
2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi) continuously
is dangerous. If the air compressor
overheats, hot air will be exhausted
and you could get burned.

Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Signal Warning
Electronic Brake Force
Distribution System
Warning If the electronic brake force distribution control unit determines that some components
are operating incorrectly, the control unit may illuminate the brake system warning
light and the ABS warning light simultaneously. The problem is likely to be the
electronic brake force distribution system. WARNING
Do not drive with both the ABS warning light and brake warning light illuminated.
Have the vehicle towed to an Authorized Mazda Dealer to have the brakes
inspected as soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning light and ABS warning light are
illuminated simultaneously is dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the rear wheels could lock more quickly in an
emergency stop than under normal circumstances.
Charging System
Warning Indication/
Warning Light If the warning light illuminates while driving, it indicates a malfunction of the

CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive
engine damage.
If the light illuminates or the warning indication is displayed while driving:
1. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way on level ground.
2. Turn off the engine and wait 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the oil pan.
3. Inspect the engine oil level 6-28 . If it's low, add the appropriate amount of engine
oil while being careful not to over ¿ ll.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive
engine damage.
4. Start the engine and check the warning light.
If the light remains illuminated even though the oil level is normal or after adding oil,
stop the engine immediately and have your vehicle towed to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

Add-On Non-Genuine Parts and Accessories
Non-genuine parts and accessories for Mazda vehicles can be found in stores.
These may ¿ t your vehicle, but they are not approved by Mazda for use with Mazda
vehicles. When you install non-genuine parts or accessories, they could affect your vehicle's
performance or safety systems; the Mazda warranty doesn't cover this. Before you install
any non-genuine parts or accessories, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WARNING
Always consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer before you install non-genuine parts or
accessories:
Improperly designed parts or accessories could seriously aff ect your vehicle's performance
or safety systems. This could cause you to have an accident or increase your chances of
injuries in an accident.
Be very careful in choosing and installing add-on electrical equipment, such as mobile
telephones, two-way radios, stereo systems, and car alarm systems:
Incorrectly choosing or installing improper add-on equipment or choosing an improper
installer is dangerous. Essential systems could be damaged, causing engine stalling, air-
bag (SRS) activation, ABS/TCS/DSC inactivation, or a fi re in the vehicle.

Vehicle Loading
WARNING
Do not tow a trailer with this vehicle:
Towing a trailer with this vehicle is dangerous because it has not been designed to tow a
trailer and doing so will aff ect the drive system which could result in vehicle damage.
This section will guide you in the proper loading of your vehicle, to keep your loaded
vehicle weight within its design rating capability. Properly loading your vehicle will provide
maximum return of vehicle design performance. Before loading your vehicle, familiarize
yourself with the following terms for determining your vehicle's weight ratings, from the
vehicle's Safety Certi ¿ cation Label and Tire and Load Information Label:
WARNING
Overloaded Vehicle:
Overloading a vehicle is dangerous. The results of overloading can have serious
consequences in terms of passenger safety. Too much weight on a vehicle's suspension
system can cause spring or shock absorber failure, brake failure, handling or steering
problems, irregular tire wear, tire failure or other damage.
Overloading makes a vehicle harder to drive and control. It also increases the distance
required for stopping. In cases of serious overloading, brakes can fail completely,
particularly on steep grades. The load a tire will carry safely is a combination of the size of
the tire, its load range, and corresponding infl ation pressure.
Never overload the vehicle and always observe the vehicle's weight ratings from the
vehicle's Safety Certifi cation and Tire and Load Information labels.
