Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Taking Action
Take the appropriate action and verify that the warning light turns off.
Signal Warning Action to be taken
Seat Belt Warning Light The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver
or passenger's seat is occupied and the seat belt
is not fastened with the ignition switched ON.
If the driver or passenger's seat belt is unfastened
(only when the 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 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.
(With passenger occupant classi¿ cation
system)
To allow the passenger occupant
classi¿ cation sensor to function properly,
do not place and sit on an additional seat
cushion on the passenger's seat. The sensor
may not function properly because the
additional seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
(Without passenger occupant
classi¿ cation system)
Placing heavy items on the passenger's
seat may cause the passenger's seat belt
warning function to operate depending on
the weight of the item.
To allow the passenger's seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion
on the 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 passenger's
seat, the warning light may not operate. Fasten the seat belts.
Door-Ajar/Boot lid-Ajar
Warning Indication/
Warning Light The light turns on if any door/boot lid is not
closed securely. Close the door/boot lid securely.

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
Vehicle with run-À at tyres
Warning Action to be taken
When the warning light illuminates, and the warning
beep sound is heard when 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 6-34 ).
CAUTION
When replacing/repairing the tyres or wheels or both,
have the work done by an Authorised Mazda Repairer,
or the tyre pressure sensors may be damaged.
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, may turn off 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.
After adjusting the tyre air pressures, it may require
some time for the TPMS warning light to turn off. If
the TPMS warning light remains illuminated, drive
the vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph)
for 10 minutes, and then verify that it turns off.
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 re¿ lling the trouble tyre as leaks
are dangerous — take it to an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer which
has all the equipment to ¿ x tyres, TPMS systems and
order the best replacement tyre for your vehicle.
If the warning light illuminates again even after the tyre
pressures are adjusted, there may be a tyre puncture.
Refer to Vehicle with Run-À at Tyres on page 7-3 .

If Trouble Arises
Warning/Indicator Lights and Warning Sounds
*Some models.
Active Bonnet Warning Beep *
If there is a problem with the active
bonnet and the warning light illumination,
a warning beep sound will be heard for
about 5 seconds every minute.
The active bonnet warning beep sound will
continue to be heard for approximately
35 minutes. Have your vehicle inspected
at an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as
possible.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the active
bonnet warning beep sounding:
Driving the vehicle with the active
bonnet warning beep sounding
is dangerous as the active bonnet
mechanism may not activate normally
and function as intended in the
event the vehicle were to contact a
pedestrian. Contact an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer to have the vehicle inspected
as soon as possible.
Seat Belt Warning Beep
If the vehicle speed exceeds about 20
km/h (12 mph) with the driver or front
passenger's seat belt unfastened, a warning
beep sounds continuously. If the seat belt
remains unfastened, the beep sound stops
once and then continues for about 90
seconds. The beep stops after the driver or
front passenger's seat belt is fastened.
NOTE
  Placing heavy items on the front
passenger seat may cause the front
passenger seat belt warning function
to operate depending on the weight
of the item.
  To allow the front passenger seat
weight sensor to function properly,
do not place and sit on an additional
seat cushion on the front passenger
seat. The sensor may not function
properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
  When a small child sits on the front
passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning beep will not operate.
