i-ACTIV AWD Operation*
4WD provides excellent drivability on
snow-covered and ice-packed roads, sand
and mud, as well as on steep slopes and
other slippery surfaces.
A system malfunction or operation
conditions are indicated by a warning.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning
Lights on page 4-42.
WA R N I N G
Never spin a wheel that is off the ground:
Spinning a wheel that is off the ground as a
result of the vehicle being stuck or in a
ditch is dangerous. The drive assembly
could be seriously damaged which could
lead to an accident or could even lead to
overheating, oil leakage, and a fire.
▼ 4WD Driving
This vehicle has not been designed for the
purpose of off-road driving or rallies. Do
not attempt to drive over uneven or rocky
surfaces, or across rivers.
Although this vehicle is equipped with
4WD, acceleration, steering and braking
operations should be conducted in the
same manner as with a non-4WD vehicle,
with the emphasis placed on safe driving.
▼Tyres and Tyre Chains
The condition of the tyres plays a large
role in the performance of the vehicle.
Moreover, to prevent adverse effects to the
drive assembly, please note the following:
Ty r e s
•When replacing tyres, always replace all
front and rear tyres
at the same time.
•All tyres must be of the same size,
manufacture, brand and tread pattern.
Pay particular attention when equipping
snow or other types of winter tyres.
•Do not mix tread-worn tyres with
normal tyres.
•Inspect tyre inflation pressures at the
specified periods adjust to the specified
pressures.
NOTE
Check the tyre inflation pressure label
attached to driver's door frame for the
correct tyre inflation pressure.
•Make sure to equip the vehicle with
genuine wheels of the specified size, on
all wheels. With 4WD, the system is
calibrated for all four wheels being of
the same dimensions.
Ty r e c h a i n s
•Install tyre chains to the front tyres.
•Do not use tyre chains on the rear
wheels.
•Do not drive the vehicle faster than 30
km/h (19 mph) with the tyre chains
installed.
•Do not drive the vehicle with tyre chains
on road conditions other than snow or
ice.
▼ To w i n g
If the vehicle requires towing, have it
towed with all four wheels completely off
the ground.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System*
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each tyre.
If tyre pressure is too low in one or more tyres, the system wi ll inform the driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and by the warning beep sound.
Refer to Warning Indication/Warning Lights on page 4-42.
Refer to Tyre Inflation Pressu re Warning Beep on page 7-66.

The tyre pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tyre pressure data by radio signal to
the receiver unit in the vehicle.
Tyre pressure sensors
NOTE
When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tyre temperatures are also
lower. When the tyre temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS
warning light may illumina te more frequently. Visually inspect the tyres daily before driving,
and check tyre pressures monthly with a tyre pressure gauge. When checking tyre pressures,
use of a digital tyre pressure gauge is recommended.

TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and con dition of all four tyres
regularly.
CAUTION
 Each tyre, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and
inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different size than the
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should determine
the proper tyre inflation pressure for those tyres.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre pressu re telltale when one or more of your tyres is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, wh en the low tyre pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly under-infla ted tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduc es fuel efficiency and tyre tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility to maintain correct ty re pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale. When the
system detects a malfunction, the telltale wi ll flash for approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement
or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle th at prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale af ter replacing one or more tyres or wheels on
your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.
 To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a problem. As
a result it will not instantaneously regi ster a rapid tyre deflation or blow out.
▼System Error Activation
When the warning light flashes, there may
be a system malfunction. Consult an
Authorised Mazda Dealer.
A system error activation may occur in the
following cases:
•When there is equipment or a device
near the vehicle using the same radio
frequency as that of the tyre pressure
sensors.
•When a metallic device such as a
non-genuine navigation system is
equipped near the centre of the
instrument panel, which may block
radio signals from the tyre pressure
sensor to the receiver unit.
•When using the following devices in the
vehicle that may cause radio
interference with the receiver unit.
•A digital device such as a personal
computer.
•A current converter device such as a
DC-AC converter.
•When excess snow or ice adheres to the
vehicle, especially around the wheels.
•When the tyre pressure sensor batteries
are exhausted.
•When using a wheel with no tyre
pressure sensor installed.
•When using tyres with steel wire
reinforcement in the side walls.
•When using tyre chains.

6. Insert a new battery with the positivepole facing up, and then cover the
battery with the battery cap.
7. Close the cover.
8. Reinsert the auxiliary key.
Ty r e s
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tyre inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.
WA R N I N G
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
specified for the vehicle (page 9-9) 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 specified for
the vehicle.
▼ Tyre Inflation Pressure
WA R N I N G
Always
inflate the tyres to the correct
pressure:
Overinflation or underinflation of tyres is
dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tyre failure could result in a
serious accident.
Refer to Tyres on page 9-9.
Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
6-43
2017-6-7 7:51:19 Form No. CX-5 8FY4-EE-17E+L_Edition2

Use only a Mazda-genuine tyre valve cap:
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as
the correct tyre air pressure cannot be
maintained if the tyre valve becomes
damaged. If the vehicle is driven under this
condition, the tyre air pressure will
decrease which could result in a serious
accident. Do not use any part for the tyre
valve cap that is not a Mazda-genuine
part.
Inspect all tyre pressures monthly
(including the spare
*) when the tyres are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, handl ing, and minimum tyre
wear.
Refer to the specification charts (page 9-
9).
NOTE
•Always check tyre pressure when tyres
are cold.
•Warm tyres normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tyres to adjust the
pressure.
•Underinflation can cause reduced fuel
economy, uneven and accelerated tyre
wear, and poor sealing of the tyre bead,
which will deform the wheel and cause
separation of tyre from rim.
•Overinflation can produce a harsh ride,
uneven and accelerated tyre wear, and a
greater possibility of damage from road
hazards.
Keep your tyre pressure at the correct
levels. If one frequently needs inflating,
have it inspected.
▼ Tyre Rotation
WA R N I N G
Rotate tyres periodically:
Irregular tyre wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining good
performance in handling and braking,
rotate the tyres every 10,000 km (6,250
miles), or sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, inspect them for correct
balance.
NOTE
(Without temporary spare tyre)
Because your vehicle is not equipped with
a spare tyre, you cannot do a tyre rotation
safely with the jack
that comes with your
vehicle. Have an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer perform tyre rotation.

Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tyre in rotation.
Forward
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:

•Incorrect tyre pressure
•Improper wheel alignment
•Out-of-balance wheel
