Tire Pressure Monitoring System
lThe Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four
wheels. If the air pressure of one or more tires is too low, the system warns the driver by
indicating the tire pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster
and operating a beep sound. The system monitors the tire pressures indirectly using the
data sent from the ABS wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the
specified tire pressure (value on the tire pressure label). Follow the procedure and
perform the initialization.
lA system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-15.
Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure Warning Beep on page 7-34.

CAUTION
ØEach tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those
tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one
or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire
pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if underinflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
ØYour vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately
one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
ØTo avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a
problem. As a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tire deflation or
blow out.

NOTE
Because this system detects slight changes in tire conditions, the timing of the warning may be faster
or slower in the following cases:
lThe size, manufacturer, or the type of tires is different from the specification.lThe size, manufacturer, or the type of a tire is different from the others, or the level of tire wear is
excessively different between them.
lA run-flat tire, studless tire, snow tire, or tire chains are used.lAn emergency tire is used (The tire pressure monitoring system warning light may flash and then
continue illuminating).
lA tire is repaired using the emergency flat tire repair kit.lThe tire pressure is excessively higher than the specified pressure, or the tire pressure is suddenly
lowered for some reason such as a tire burst during driving.
lThe vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle is stopped),
or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.
lThe vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.lHard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during aggressive driving
on a winding road.
lLoad on the vehicle is applied to a tire such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of the
vehicle.
lSystem initialization has not been implemented with the specified tire pressure.
qTire Pressure Monitoring System
Initialization
In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that
the system operates normally.
lA tire pressure is adjusted.lTire rotation is performed.lA tire or wheel is replaced.lThe battery is replaced or completely
drained.
lThe tire pressure monitoring system
warning light is illuminated.
Initialization method
1. Park the car in a safe place and firmly
apply the parking brake.2. Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire
pressure of all four (4) tires to the
specified pressure indicated on the tire
pressure label located on the door jamb
of the driver's door (door open). Refer
to Tires on page 9-7.
3. Switch the ignition ON.

4. While the vehicle is parked, press and
hold the tire pressure monitoring
system set switch and verify that the
tire pressure monitoring system
warning light in the instrument cluster
flashes twice and a beep sound is heard
once.
CAUTION
If the system initialization is
performed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect
the normal tire pressure and it may
not illuminate the tire pressure
monitoring system warning light
even if a tire pressure is low, or it
may illuminate the light even if the
pressures are normal.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed
while the vehicle is being driven.

Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) Systemí
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver by monitoring
blind spots on both sides of the vehicle to the rear in certain situations such as when
changing lanes on roads and freeways.
The BSM system monitors the detection areas on both sides of the vehicle to the rear when
the vehicle speed is about 32 km/h (20 mph) or more, and notifies the driver of vehicles in
the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning light.
If the turn signal lever is operated in the direction the BSM warning light is illuminated, the
system warns the driver of the vehicle in the detection area with a beep sound.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning. Refer to
Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-15.Refer to Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) System
Warning Beep on page 7-34.
Detection areas
Your vehicle
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over your shoulder
before changing lanes:
The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings
but is not a complete substitute. The driver is responsible for assuring lane changes
and other maneuvers. Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is
traveling and the vehicle's surroundings.
NOTE
lThe BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about 32 km/h (20 mph).lThe radar sensors are equipped inside the rear bumper. (page 4-78)lThe system may not operate normally when towing a trailer. Turn off the system by operating the
BSM OFF switch when towing a trailer.

lThe radar sensors do not detect human, animal, or static objects such as fences. In addition, the
system pauses when the selector lever is shifted to the R position. (The system resumes
automatically when the selector lever is shifted from the R position.)
lThe detectability of the radar sensors has its limitations. The BSM system may not operate
properly under the following conditions:
lIce, snow, or soil adheres to the rear bumper surface around the radar sensors.lDuring adverse weather conditions such as rain or snow, or under conditions where water is
sprayed.
lThe rear bumper area around the radar sensors is blocked by foreign material (such as
stickers or a bicycle carrier).
lThe radar sensors may not detect all types of vehicles around your vehicle, especially the
following types of vehicles:
lMotorcycleslVehicles with body shapes that radar may not reflect such as a flatbed trailer with no cargo.lVehicles with lower body height such as sports cars.lHave the radar sensors inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is applied to the
rear bumper, even in a minor accident. If the vehicle is driven with a damaged radar sensor, the
system may not operate properly resulting in an accident.
lFor repairs or paintwork around the radar sensors, or replacement of the bumper, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
lThe radar sensors of the BSM system may be regulated under the radio wave related laws of the
country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors in this system are approved for use in the U.S.A.
(including territories), Canada, and Mexico. If a vehicle with a BSM system is driven in a country
other than the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the BSM OFF
switch.
lThe detection area of the system has been determined based on the lane width of general
freeways. Therefore on a road with a narrower lane width, the system may detect vehicles on a
lane next to the adjacent lane and operate the warning light/beep. On a road with wider lane
width, the system may not detect vehicles on the adjacent lane and may not operate the warning
light/beep.
lOperation of the warning light/beep may be delayed or the system may not operate the warning
light/beep under the following conditions:
lThe vehicle accelerates from a standing-start with a vehicle alongside.lA vehicle moves from a lane two lanes over to the adjacent lane.lThe difference in vehicle speed between your vehicle and another vehicle is larger when
passing or being passed, and the vehicle passes the detection area within a short period of
time.
lOn a steep incline, or when there is a difference in height between lanes.lImmediately after the system has been activated by pressing the BSM OFF switch again after it
has been turned off (BSM OFF indicator light in instrument panel illuminates) by pressing the
switch.
lAlthough the system may detect objects on the road side such as parked vehicles or guardrails and
operate the warning light/beep, it does not indicate a malfunction.
