When Driving
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
System Error Activation
When the TPMS warning light À ashes,
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.
Tyres and Wheels
CAUTION
When inspecting or adjusting the tyre air
pressures, do not apply excessive force
to the stem part of the wheel unit. The
stem part could be damaged.
Changing tyres and wheels
The following procedure allows the TPMS
to recognise a tyre pressure sensor's
unique ID signal code whenever tyres or
wheels are changed, such as changing to
and from winter tyres.
NOTE
Each tyre pressure sensor has a unique
ID signal code. The signal code must be
registered with the TPMS before it can
work. The easiest way to do it is to have
an Authorised Mazda Dealer change
your tyre and complete ID signal code
registration.
When having tyres changed at an
Authorised Mazda Dealer
When an Authorised Mazda Dealer
changes your vehicle's tyres, they will
complete the tyre pressure sensor ID signal
code registration.
When changing tyres yourself
If you or someone else changes tyres, you
or someone else can also undertake the
steps for the TPMS to complete the ID
signal code registration.
