Warning light illuminates/Warning
beep sounds
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.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the correct tyre
pressure and initialize TPMS. Refer to the
specification charts (page 9-10).
NOTE
l
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 inflation pressure, the TPMS
warning light/beep may turn on after
the tyres cool and pressure drops
below specification.
Also, an illuminated TPM S 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.
NOTE
l
Tyres lose air naturally over time and
the TPMS cannot tell if the tyres are
getting too soft over time or you
have a flat. However, when you find
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
reinflating the tyre as leaks are
dangerous - take it to an expert
repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If the warning light illuminates again even
after the tyre pressures are adjusted and
the TPMS initialization is performed,
there may be a tyre puncture. Replace the
punctured tyre with the temporary spare
tyre (page 7-15).
Warning light flashes
If the tyre pressure monitoring system has
a malfunction, the tyre pressure warning
light flashes for about 1 minute when the
ignition is switched ON and then
continues illuminating. Have your vehicle
checked by an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer as soon as possible.
