Ty r e s
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tyre infl ation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WARNING
Using Different Tyre Types:
Driving your vehicle with different
types of tyres is dangerous. It could
cause poor handling and poor braking;
leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the
temporary spare tyre, use only the same
type tyres (radial, bias-belted, bias-type)
on all four wheels.
Using Wrong-Sized Tyres:
Using any other tyre size than what is
specifi ed for the vehicle (page 9-13 )
is dangerous. It could seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clearance,
tyre clearance, and speedometer
calibration. This could cause you to
have an accident. Use only tyres that
are the correct size specifi ed for the
vehicle.

Seat Belt Warning
Light
With warning light for front passenger's seat
The seat belt warning light illuminates if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and
the seat belt is not fastened 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
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.
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 fl ash and a beep sound will be heard. After a short time, the warning
light stops fl ashing, but remains illuminated, and the beep sound stops. If a seat belt
remains unfastened, the warning light fl ashes and the beep sound activates again for a
given period of time.
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).
NOTE
If a driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened after the beep sound turns off
(warning light remains illuminated), and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph),
the warning light fl ashes and beep sound activates again.
Placing heavy items on the front passenger seat may cause the front passenger seat
belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.
When a small child sits on the front passenger seat, it is possible that the warning light
will not operate.
Rear seat
If the rear seat belts are not fastened while the ignition is switched ON, the driver and the
passenger will be informed by the warning lights.
The warning lights illuminate in two colours. When the seat belt is not fastened, the
warning light illumination is red. When the seat belt is fastened, the illumination is green.
The warning lights operate even when there is no passenger on the rear seat. The warning
beep only sounds if a seat belt is unfastened after being fastened.
NOTE
If the rear seat belts are not fastened in a specifi ed period of time after the engine has
been started, all the warning lights turn off.

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Seat Belt Warning Beep
Front seat
If the vehicle speed exceeds about 20
km/h (12 mph) with the driver or front
passenger's seat belt unfastened, a warning
beep sounds continuously. If the seat belt
remains unfastened, the beep sound stops
once and then continues for about 90
seconds. The beep stops after the driver or
front passenger's seat belt is fastened.
NOTE
  Some models do not have the seat
belt warning beep for the front
passenger's seat.
  Placing heavy items on the front
passenger seat may cause the front
passenger seat belt warning function
to operate depending on the weight
of the item.
  To allow the front passenger seat
weight sensor to function properly,
do not place and sit on an additional
seat cushion on the front passenger
seat. The sensor may not function
properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
  When a small child sits on the front
passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning beep will not operate.
Rear seat
The warning beep only sounds if a seat
belt is unfastened after being fastened.
Ignition Not Switched Off (STOP)
Warning Beep *
If the driver's door is opened while
the ignition is switched to ACC, a
continuous beep sound will be heard to
notify the driver that the ignition has not
been switched off (STOP). Left in this
condition, the keyless entry system will
not operate, the car cannot be locked, and
the battery power will be depleted.
Key Removed from Vehicle
Warning Beep
A beep sound will be heard 6 times and
the KEY warning light (red) will fl ash
continuously if the ignition has not been
switched off, all the doors are closed, and
the key is removed from the vehicle. This
is to notify the driver that the key has been
removed from the vehicle and the ignition
has not been switched off.
NOTE
Because the key utilizes low-intensity
radio waves, the Key Removed From
Vehicle Warning may activate if the key
is carried together with a metal object
or it is placed in a poor signal reception
area.
Request Switch Inoperable
Warning Beep (With the advanced
keyless function)
If the request switch is pressed with a door
open or ajar or the ignition has not been
switched off while the key is being carried,
a beep will be heard for about 2 seconds to
indicate that the doors and the liftgate/boot
lid cannot be locked.

NOTE
The tyres have been optimally matched with the chassis of your vehicle.
When replacing tyres, Mazda recommends that you replace tyres of the same type
originally fi tted to your vehicle. For details, contact an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Check the tyre pressure label for tyre size and infl ation pressure (page 6-46 ).
After adjusting the tyre pressure, initialization of the tyre pressure monitoring system is
necessary to make the system operates normally.
