your brakes may not work at all or that they could completely fail at any time. If this

light remains illuminated, after checking that the parking brake is fully released, have

the brakes inspected immediately.

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 braking:

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

If Trouble Arises

Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds

Action to be taken

Inspect the tires and adjust to the specified inflation pressure (page 6-35).

CAUTION

When replacing/repairing the tires or wheels or both, have the work done by an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or the

tire pressure sensors may be damaged.

NOTE



Perform tire pressure adjustment when the tires are cold. Tire pressure will vary according to the tire temper‐

ature, 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 turn off 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.



After adjusting the tire 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.

Tires lose air naturally over time and the TPMS cannot tell if the tires are getting too soft over time or you



have a flat. However, when you find one low tire 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 tire 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 refilling the trouble tire as leaks are dangerous

― take it to an Authorized Mazda Dealer which has all the equipment to fix tires, TPMS systems and order

the best replacement tire for your vehicle.

If the warning light illuminates again even after the tire pressures are adjusted, there may be a tire puncture.
