Seat Belt
Warning Light
(Front seat) The seat belt warning light turns on if the
driver or front passenger's seat is occupied
and the seat belt is not fastened with the
ignition switched ON.
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 À ashes. After a short time,
the warning light stops À ashing, but remains
illuminated. If a seat belt remains unfastened,
the warning light À ashes again for a given
period of time.
NOTE
If the driver or front passenger's seat
belt is unfastened after the warning light
turns on, and the vehicle speed exceeds
20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light
À ashes again.

Placing heavy items on the front
passenger's seat may cause the front
passenger's seat belt warning function
to operate depending on the weight of
the item.

To allow the front passenger's seat
weight sensor to function properly, do
not place and sit on an additional seat
cushion on the front passenger's seat.
The sensor may not function properly
because the additional seat cushion could
cause sensor interference.

If a small child is seated on the front
passenger's seat, the warning light may
not operate. Fasten the seat belts.

Signal Warning Action to be taken


(Turns on)
Tyre Pressure
Monitoring
System Warning
Light
* When the warning light illuminates, and
the warning beep sound is heard (about 3
seconds), tyre pressure is too low in one or
more tyres.
WARNING
If the tyre pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or À ashes,
or the tyre pressure warning beep
sound is heard, decrease vehicle
speed immediately and avoid sudden
manoeuvring and braking:
If the tyre pressure monitoring system
warning light illuminates or À ashes, or
the tyre pressure warning beep sound
is heard, it is dangerous to drive the
vehicle at high speeds, or perform
sudden manoeuvring or braking. Vehicle
drivability could worsen and result in an
accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or
a À at, pull over to a safe position where
you can check the visual condition of the
tyre and determine if you have enough
air to proceed to a place where air may
be added and the system monitored again
by an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer or a tyre
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 tyre failure and a
dangerous accident. Inspect the tyres and adjust to the speci¿ ed
inÀ ation pressure (page 6-44 ).
NOTE
Perform tyre pressure adjustment when
the tyres are cold. Tyre pressure will
vary according to the tyre temperature,
therefore let the vehicle stand for
1 hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or
less before adjusting the tyre pressures.
When pressure is adjusted on hot tyres
to the cold inÀ ation pressure, the TPMS
warning light/beep may turn on after
the tyres cool and pressure drops below
speci¿ cation.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning
light, resulting from the tyre 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 tyre air pressures. If the TPMS
warning light illuminates due to a drop in
tyre air pressure, make sure to check and
adjust the tyre air pressures.

Tyres lose air naturally over time and
the TPMS cannot tell if the tyres are
getting too soft over time or you have
a À at. However, when you ¿ nd one low
tyre 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 tyre 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 reinÀ ating the
tyre as leaks are dangerous — take it to
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
