WARNING

If the tire pressure monitoring system

warning light illuminates or flashes,

or the tire pressure warning beep

sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed

immediately and avoid sudden

maneuvering and braki ng:

If the tire pressure monitoring system

warning light illuminates or flashes,

or the tire pressure warning beep

sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive

the vehicle at high speeds, or perform

sudden maneuvering or braking.

Vehicle drivability could worsen and

result in an accident.

To determine if you have a slow leak

or a flat, pull over to a safe position

where you can check the visual

condition of the tire and determine if

you have enough air to proceed to a

place where air may be added and the

system monitored again, an

Authorized Mazda Dealer or a tire

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 tire failure and a

dangerous accident.

Warning light illuminates/Warning

beep sou nds

When the warning light illuminates, and

the warning beep sound is heard (about 3

seconds), tire press ure is too low in one or

more tires.

Adjust the tire pressure to the correct tire

pressure. Refer to the specification charts

(page 10-8).

CAUTION

When replacing/repairing the tires or

wheels or both, have the work done by

an Aut horized Mazda Dealer, or the tire

pressure sensors may be damaged.

NOTE

l

Perform tire pressure adjustment

when the tires are cold. Tire pressure

will vary according to the tire

temperature, therefore let the vehicle

stand for 1 hour or only drive it 1.6

km (1 mile) or less before adjusting

the tire pressures. When pressure is

adjusted on hot tires to the cold

inflation pressure, the TPMS

warning light/beep may turn on after

the tires cool and pressure drops

below specification.

Also, an illuminated TPMS warning

light, resulting from the tire air

pressure dropping due to cold

ambient temperature, may go out if

the ambient temperature rises. In this

case, it will also be necessary to

adjust the tire air pressures. If the

TPMS warning light illuminates due

to a drop in tire air pressure, make

sure to check and adjust the tire air

pressures.
