NOTElIf the indicator light/warning indication
illuminates, the power steering will not
operate normally. If this happens, the
steering wheel can still be operated,
however, the operation may feel heavy
compared to normal, and the steering
wheel could vibrate when turning.
lRepeatedly jerking the steering wheel left
and right while the vehicle is stopped or
moving extremely slowly will cause the
power steering system to go into protective
mode which will make the steering feel
heavy, but this does not indicate a problem.
If this occurs, park the vehicle safely and
wait several minutes for the system to
return to normal.
qAir Bag/Front Seat Belt

operate in an accident.
WARNING
Never tamper with the air bag/

qSeat Belt Warning Light
Driver's seat
Front passenger's seatí
With warning light for front

with the ignition switched ON.
Without warning light for front
passenger's seat
The seat belt warning light illuminates if
the driver's seat is occupied and the seat
belt is not fastened with the ignition
switched ON.
Seat belt reminder
NOTE
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
deactivate or restore the belt reminder. Though
the belt reminder can be deactivated, doing so
will defeat the purpose of the system to warn
the driver and the front passenger in the event
that their seat belts are not fastened. For the
safety of the driver and front passenger, Mazda
recommends not deactivating the belt
reminder.
Front seat
If the vehicle is driven with the driver or
front passenger's seat belt unfastened, the
seat belt warning light illuminates and a
warning beep sounds.
NOTE
Some models do not have the seat belt
reminder function for the front passenger's
seat.
If the driver or front passenger's seat belt
is unfastened (only when the front
passenger seat is occupied) and the
vehicle is driven at a speed faster than
about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning
light will flash and a beep sound will be
heard. After a short time, the warning
light stops flashing, but remains
illuminated, and the beep sound stops.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep sound
will not stop even if the vehicle speed
falls below 20 km/h (12 mph).

Adjust the tire pressure to the correct tire
pressure and initialize TPMS. Refer to the
specification charts (page 9-8).
NOTE
lPerform 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 will
remain illuminated even 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.
lTires 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 reinflating
the tire as leaks are dangerous - take it to
an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
If the warning light illuminates again even
after the tire pressures are adjusted and the
TPMS initialization is performed, there
may be a tire puncture. Replace the
punctured tire with the temporary spare
tire (page 7-7).
Warning light flashes
If the tire pressure monitoring system has
a malfunction, the tire pressure warning
light flashes for about 1 minute when the
ignition is switched ON and then
continues illuminating. Have your vehicle
checked by an Authorized Mazda Dealer
as soon as possible.
