1 This indicator light turns on to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for
this is that the sensor has determined that an adult is not sitting in the front passenger seat.
NOTE: If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the adult as being
a child depending on the person’s physique and may deactivate the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear seats in
appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
For your safety, the Mazda6 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. 35-36) 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 tir
e rotation is performed.
•
Any t

ire or wheel is replaced.
•
The v

ehicle’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 t
he 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 Swi

tch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Pus

h 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.
Tires
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 can affect the pressure in the
tires, causing the TPMS warning light to turn on. Verify the tire pressures when
driving through extreme temperature or altitude changes.

When the Mode switch is pushed,

between vehicles while in headway
control can be set. The MRCC
indication is shown in the multi-display.
The indicator light in the multi-display
and the Active Driving Display will be

MAZDA RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (MRCC) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The MRCC system maintains vehicle speed and following distance using
a radar sensor to detect a vehicle ahead. The driver simply presets the
vehicle speed between 19 mph and 90 mph and the system will maintain a
safe following distance without having to turn the cruise control off.
MRCC WARNING: MRCC shuts off when it reaches the low mph limit. “BRAKE”
is displayed. The vehicle will not brake/stop by itself.
The system operates in two modes, Constant Speed and Headway Control modes:
Constant Speed Mode When no vehicle is detected ahead,
the driver’s set speed is maintained.
Headway Control Mode When a vehicle is detected ahead,
a distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is maintained.
NOTE: The radar for the MRCC is
located behind the Mazda emblem in
the grill. Keep this area clean to avoid
the system not working properly.
