Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System
▼
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tyre and if it decreases below the
specified value, the system notifies the
driver by turning on the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster and
indicating a message on the
multi-information display.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data sent
from the tyre pressure sensors installed on
each wheel via radio signal is received by
the receiver unit in the vehicle to monitor
the tyre pressures.
1. Tyre pressure sensors
In addition, the current tyre pressures can
be checked using the centre display.
Refer to the Vehicle Status Monitor
section in the MZD Connect Owner's
Manual.
NOTE

When the ambient temperature is low,
the tyre temperatures also decrease. If
the tyre temperatures decrease, the air
pressure in the tyres will also decrease
which could turn on the TPMS warning
light.

Before driving, visually inspect the tyres
for abnormalities. Additionally, inspect
the tyre pressures monthly. A digital type
air pressure gauge is recommended for
inspecting the tyre pressures.
The TPMS is not a substitute for your own
periodic inspection of the tyres. Always
inspect the tyres yourself periodically.
CAUTION
Each tyre, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and
inated
to the
ination
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or
tyre ination pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tyres of a
dierent
size than
the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tyre ination pressure label, you
should determine the proper tyre
ination pressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tyre pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that
illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale
when one or more of your tyres is
signicantly under-inated. Accordingly,
when the low tyre pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and check
your tyres as soon as possible, and inate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
signicantly under-inated tyre causes
the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre
failure. Under-ination also reduces fuel
eciency and tyre tread life, and may
aect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
