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 .

block under the hood. If a fuse is blown, it
must be replaced. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure the ignition is switched off,
and other switches are off.
2. Remove the fuse block cover.

Maintenance and Care
Appearance Care
Plastic Part Maintenance
y When cleaning the plastic lenses of the
lights, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
recti ¿ ed spirit, paint, thinner, highly
acidic detergents, or strongly alkaline
detergents. Otherwise, these chemical
agents can discolor or damage the
surfaces resulting in a signi ¿ cant loss
in functionality. If plastic parts become
inadvertently exposed to any of these
chemical agents, À ush with water
immediately.
y If plastic parts such as the bumpers
become inadvertently exposed to
chemical agents or À uids such as
gasoline, oil, engine coolant, or battery
À uid, it could cause discoloration,
staining, or paint peeling. Wipe off any
such chemical agents or À uids using a
soft cloth immediately.
y High water temperature and high water
pressure car washers are available
depending on the type of high pressure
car washer device. If the car washer
nozzle is put too close to the vehicle or
aimed at one area for an extended period
of time, it could deform plastic parts or
damage the paint.
y Do not use wax containing compounds
(polish). Otherwise, it could result in
paint damage.
y In addition, do not use an electrical or
air tool to apply wax. Otherwise, the
frictional heat generated could result
in deformation of plastic parts or paint
damage.
Interior Care
WARNING
Do not spray water into the vehicle
cabin:
Spraying water into the vehicle cabin is
dangerous as electrical devices such as
the audio and switches could get wet
resulting in a malfunction or vehicle
fi r e .
N O T E
y Do not wipe the interior using alcohol,
chlorine bleach, or organic solvents
such as thinner, benzene, and gasoline.
Otherwise, it may cause discoloration
or stains.
y Rubbing hard with a stiff brush or cloth
may cause damage.
If the vehicle interior becomes soiled
by any of the following, wipe it off
immediately using a soft cloth.
Leaving it uncleaned could cause
discoloration, stains, cracks, or peeling
of the coating, and it will make it hard to
wipe off later.
y Beverage or fragrance
y Grease or oil
y Soiling
Seat Belt Maintenance
1. Clean the soiled area by lightly dabbing
it with a soft cloth soaked in a mild
detergent (approx. 5%) diluted with
water.
2. Wipe off the remaining detergent using
a cloth soaked in clean water and
wrung out well.
3. Before retracting seat belts which have
been pulled out for cleaning, dry them
off thoroughly and make sure there is
no remaining moisture on them.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tire
N O T E
y Check the tire in À ation pressure label
driver's door frame for the correct tire
in À ation pressure.
y Do not operate the air compressor
for a continuous 10 minutes or longer
because using it for long periods could
cause a malfunction.
y If the tire in À ation pressure does
not increase, repair of the tire is not
possible. If the tire does not reach the
speci ¿ ed tire in À ation pressure within
10 minutes, it may have received
extensive damage. In this case, the
repair using the emergency À at tire
repair kit was not successful. Contact
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
13. Adhere the speed restriction sticker to
an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.
14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to the
wheel of the À at tire.
WARNING
Do not adhere the speed restriction
sticker to the padded area on the
steering wheel:
Adhering the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering
wheel is dangerous because the
air bag may not operate (deploy)
normally resulting in serious injury.
In addition, do not adhere the sticker
to areas where warning lights or the
speedometer cannot be viewed.
15. When the tire in À ates to the speci ¿ ed
tire in À ation pressure, turn the air
compressor switch off, turn the sleeve
of the injection hose to the left, and pull
it out of the tire valve.
