(Illuminate)
Tire Pressure
Monitoring System Warning Light
*
When the warning light illuminates, and the
warning beep sound is heard (about 3 seconds),
tire pressure is too low in one or more tires.
WARNING
If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or fl ashes, or the
tire pressure warning beep sound is heard,
decrease vehicle speed immediately and
avoid sudden maneuvering and braking: If the tire pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or fl ashes, or the
tire pressure warning beep sound is heard,
it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high
speeds, or perform sudden maneuvering
or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen
and result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or a
fl at, pull over to a safe position where you
can check the visual condition of the tire
and determine if you have enough air to
proceed to a place where air may be added
and the system monitored again by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer or a tire repair
station.
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light: Ignoring the TPMS warning light is
dangerous, even if you know why it is
illuminated. Have the problem taken care of
as soon as possible before it develops into
a more serious situation that could lead to
tire failure and a dangerous accident. Inspect the tires and adjust to the
specifi
ed infl ation pressure (page 6-42 ).
NOTE
yPerform 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 infl ation pressure, the TPMS
warning light/beep may turn on after
the tires cool and pressure drops below
specifi cation.
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.
yTires lose air naturally over time and the TPMS cannot tell if the tires are
getting too soft over time or you have
a fl at. However, when you fi nd 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 reinfl ating the tire as leaks are
dangerous — take it to an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
