Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light (Illuminate) *
Take the appropriate action and verify that the warning light turns off.
Vehicle with conventional tyres
Warning Action to be taken
When the warning light illuminates, and the warning
beep sound is heard (about 3 seconds), tyre pressure is
too low in one or more tyres.
WARNING
If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light illuminates or À ashes, or the tyre pressure
warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle
speed immediately and avoid sudden manoeuvring
and braking:
If the tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light illuminates or À ashes, or the tyre pressure
warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to
drive the vehicle at high speeds, or perform sudden
manoeuvring or braking. Vehicle drivability could
worsen and result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or a À at, pull
over to a safe position where you can check the
visual condition of the tyre and determine if you
have enough air to proceed to a place where air
may be added and the system monitored again by
an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer or a tyre 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 tyre failure and a dangerous accident. Inspect the tyres and adjust to the speci¿ ed inÀ ation
pressure (page 6-34 ).
NOTE
Perform tyre pressure adjustment when the tyres
are cold. Tyre pressure will vary according to the
tyre temperature, therefore let the vehicle stand
for 1 hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or less
before adjusting the tyre pressures. When pressure
is adjusted on hot tyres to the cold inÀ ation
pressure, the TPMS warning light/beep may turn
on after the tyres cool and pressure drops below
speci¿ cation.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light,
resulting from the tyre 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 tyre air
pressures. If the TPMS warning light illuminates
due to a drop in tyre air pressure, make sure to
check and adjust the tyre air pressures.
Tyres lose air naturally over time and the TPMS
cannot tell if the tyres are getting too soft over
time or you have a À at. However, when you ¿ nd
one low tyre 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
tyre 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 reinÀ ating the tyre as leaks are dangerous
— take it to an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.

CAUTION
When replacing/repairing the tyres or wheels or both,
have the work done by an Authorised Mazda Repairer,
or the tyre pressure sensors may be damaged.
NOTE
Perform tyre pressure adjustment when the tyres are
cold. Tyre pressure will vary according to the tyre
temperature, therefore let the vehicle stand for 1
hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or less before
adjusting the tyre pressures. When pressure is
adjusted on hot tyres to the cold inÀ ation pressure,
the TPMS warning light/beep may turn on after the
tyres cool and pressure drops below speci¿ cation.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light, resulting
from the tyre air pressure dropping due to cold
ambient temperature, may turn off if the ambient
temperature rises. In this case, it will also be necessary
to adjust the tyre air pressures. If the TPMS warning
light illuminates due to a drop in tyre air pressure,
make sure to check and adjust the tyre air pressures.
After adjusting the tyre air pressures, it may require
some time for the TPMS warning light to turn off. If
the TPMS warning light remains illuminated, drive
the vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph)
for 10 minutes, and then verify that it turns off.
Tyres lose air naturally over time and the TPMS
cannot tell if the tyres are getting too soft over time or

by more than simply re¿ lling the trouble tyre as leaks
are dangerous — take it to an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer which
has all the equipment to ¿ x tyres, TPMS systems and
order the best replacement tyre for your vehicle.
If the warning light illuminates again even after the tyre
pressures are adjusted, there may be a tyre puncture.

Retractable Fastback Warning
Beep*
When operating the retractable fastback
switch, the warning beep is activated when
the retractable fastback operation begins
and when it is completed.
If there is a problem with the retractable
fastback, the warning beep is activated
continuously while operating the switch. If
the warning beep is activated continuously
while operating the switch, have the
vehicle inspected at an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP)
Warning Beep
E u r o p e a n m o d e l s
If the driver's door is opened with the
ignition switched to ACC, a beep will
be heard 6 times in the cabin to notify
the driver that the ignition has not been
switched OFF (STOP). Under this
condition, the keyless entry system will
not operate, the vehicle cannot be locked,
and the battery voltage will be depleted.
Except European models
If the driver's door is opened with the
ignition switched to ACC, a beep will
be heard continuously in the cabin to
notify the driver that the ignition has not
been switched OFF (STOP). Under this
condition, the keyless entry system will
not operate, the vehicle cannot be locked,
and the battery voltage will be depleted.
Key Removed from Vehicle
Warning Beep
Vehicles with advanced keyless function
If the key is taken out of the vehicle while
the ignition is not switched OFF and
all the doors are closed, the beep which
sounds outside of the vehicle will be heard
6 times, the beep which sounds inside
the vehicle will be heard 6 times, and the
KEY warning light (red) in the instrument
clusterÀ ashes continuously to notify
the driver that the ignition has not been
switched OFF.
Vehicles without advanced keyless
function
If the key is taken out of the vehicle while
the ignition is not switched OFF and all
the doors are closed, a beep will be heard
in the cabin 6 times and the KEY warning
light (red) in the instrument cluster turns
on continuously to notify the driver that
the ignition has not been switched OFF.
NOTE
Because the key utilizes low-intensity
radio waves, the Key Removed From
Vehicle Warning may activate if the key
is carried together with a metal object
or it is placed in a poor signal reception
area.
