Tire Pressure Monitoring
System
Wa r n i n g
Light
*
When the warning light illuminates, and the
warning beep sound is heard (about 3 seconds),
tire pressure is too low in one or more tires.
WA R N I N G
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning
light illuminates or flashes, or the tire pressure
warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle
speed immediately and avoid sudden maneuver‐
ing and braking:
If the tire pressure monitoring system warning
light illuminates or
flashes, or the tire pressure
warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to
drive the vehicle at high speeds, or perform sud‐
den maneuvering or braking. Vehicle drivability
could worsen and result in an accident.
To determine if you have a slow leak or a flat, pull
over to a safe position where you can check the
visual condition of the tire and determine if you
have enough air to proceed to a place where air
may be added and the sy stem monitored again
by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a tire repair
station.
Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:
Ignoring the TPMS warn ing 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 tire failure and a dangerous acci‐
dent. Inspect the tires and adjust to the specified in-
flation pressure (page 6-38).
NOTE
Perform tire pressure adjustment when the
tires are cold. Tire pressure will vary accord-
ing to the tire temperature, therefore let the ve-
hicle stand for 1 hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1
mile) or less before ad
justing the tire pres-
sures. When pressure is adjusted on hot tires to
the cold inflation pressure, the TPMS warning
light/beep may turn on af ter the tires cool and
pressure drops below specification.
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light, re-
sulting from the tire air pressure dropping due
to cold ambient temper ature will remain illu-
minated even if the ambient temperature rises.
In this case, it will also be necessary to adjust
the tire air pressures. If the TPMS warning
light illuminates due to a drop in tire air pres-
sure, make sure to check and adjust the tire air
pressures.
Tires lose air naturally over time and the
TPMS cannot tell if the tires are getting too
soft over time or yo u have a flat. However,
when you find one low tir e 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 tire for cuts and any
metal objects sticking through tread or side-
wall. Put a few drops of water in the valve
stem to see if it bubble s indicating a bad valve.
Leaks need to be addressed by more than sim-
ply reinflating the tire as leaks are dangerous
― take it to an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

For any other reasons, have the vehicle inspect-
ed at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Low Fuel Wa r n i n g Light The light turns on when the remaining fuel is
about 9.0 L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal).NOTE
The light illumination tim

fuel inside the fuel tank moves around accord-
ing to the driving conditions and the vehicle
posture. Add fuel.

Seat Belt
Wa r n i n g Light Except Mexico
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 pa
ssenger's seat belt is un-
fastened (only when the front passenger's seat is
occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed
faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warn-
ing light flashes. After a short time, the warning
light stops flashing, but remains illuminated.
NOTE
The warning light flashes for about 6 seconds
if the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the
ignition is switched ON.
To allow the front passeng er occupant classifi-
cation 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 passeng-
er's seat, the warning light may not operate.
Mexico
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 pa ssenger's seat belt is un-
fastened (only when the front passenger's seat is
occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed
faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warn-
ing light flashes. After a short time, the warning
light stops flashing, but remains illuminated. If
a seat belt remains unfastened, the warning light
flashes again for a given period of time.
NOTE
Placing heavy items on the front passenger's
seat may cause the front passenger's seat belt
warning function to ope rate depending on the
weight of the item.
If a small child is seated on the front passeng-
er's seat, the warning light may not operate. Fasten the seat belts.
