TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the Mazda3 is equipped with TPMS that detects low tire
pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting low in
one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a light in the
instrument cluster (pp. 31-34) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your
tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can
operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire rotation is performed.
• Any tire or wheel is replaced.
• The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process
(TPMS Warning Light
is Illuminated)
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (See tire label located on the driver’s side door opening) on
all four (4) tires.
3 Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch”
(left side of dash) until the TPMS warning
light
in the instrument cluster flashes
twice and a beep sound is heard once.
CAUTION: If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on
if the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE: Drastic changes in temperature or altitude may cause the TPMS warning
light to turn on.

NOTE: You will need an audio cable with an 1/8 inch (3.5 mm)
mini stereo plug (available as a Genuine Mazda accessory) to
connect your portable audio player into the AUX jack.
I M P O R TA N T: • Set the volume level on your portable audio player to the highest level before
distortion starts, then use the vehicle’s audio system to adjust the volume.
• Unplug any device from the USB port and accessory socket before turning off
the vehicle. Leaving devices plugged in can drain the battery and cause issues
during the Bluetooth pairing process at startup. Wait about 15 seconds after
starting the vehicle before plugging anything into the USB port.
1 Locate the USB port or AUX jack.
2 Connect the device plug into the portable audio player and into the
USB port or AUX jack.
3 Turn the vehicle audio system on.
4 • Audio Controls (without Mazda Connect): Push the MEDIA
button on the audio unit to switch to the AUX or USB mode.
• Audio Controls (with Mazda Connect): Select AUX or USB from
the Sources menu.
5 • USB Port: Use the vehicle’s audio system or steering wheel controls
to control the connected USB device.
• AUX Jack: Use the portable audio player controls to play music.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for additional information.
PORTABLE AUDIO PLAYER
INTEGRATION USING THE
USB PORT OR AUX JACK
Your vehicle is equipped with a USB port
and auxiliary AUX jack, conveniently located
below the climate controls (without CD
player) or in the center console (with CD player), that allows you to\
play your
iPod, USB device, or portable audio player through the vehicle’s audio system.
The center console is useful for storing your personal media/phone devic\
es.
Learn the system when parked and do not let it distract you while driving.
12 VOLT ACCESSORY SOCKETS
The accessory socket in the dash is on with ignition on and the accessor\
y socket
in the center console is always on.
Audio USB and AUX Inputs
NOTE: When using a USB memory stick, the system plays the first audio file when
restarting the vehicle. It does not start where it left off when turning off the engine.
NOTE: When using the accessory socket in the center console, make sure to
disconnect any device from it when turning off the ignition, otherwise the vehicle’s
battery could go dead.
