2018 MAZDA MODEL 6 tyre pressure
[x] Cancel search: tyre pressurePage 453 of 863
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale when one or more of your tyres is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when 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-inflated tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can
lead to tyre failure. Under-inflation also reduces 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 tyre 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 will 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 that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after 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.
¾To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a problem. As
a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tyre deflation or blow out.

NOTE
If the vehicle is driven within about 15
minutes of changing tyres, the tyre
pressure monitoring system warning light
will flash because the sensor ID signal
code would not have been registered. If
this happens, park the vehicle for about 15
minutes, after which the sensor ID signal
code will register upon driving the vehicle
for 10 minutes.

¾When replacing/repairing the tyres or
wheels or both, have the work done by
an Authorised Mazda Dealer, or the tyre
pressure sensors may be damaged.
¾The wheels equipped on your Mazda are
specially designed for installation of the
tyre pressure sensors. Do not use
non-genuine wheels, otherwise it may
not be possible to install the tyre pressure
sensors.

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 9-10) 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.
▼▼ 7 \ U H , Q I O D W L R Q 3 U H V V X U H
: $ 5 1 , 1 *
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 9-10.

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.

NOTE
xAlways check tyre pressure when tyres
are cold.
xWarm tyres normally exceed
recommended pressures. Do not release
air from warm tyres to adjust the
pressure.
xUnderinflation 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.
xOverinflation 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.

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.

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

¾Do not use your temporary spare tyre rim
with a snow tyre or a conventional tyre.
Neither will properly
fit and could
damage both tyre and rim.
¾The temporary spare tyre has a tread life
of less than 5,000 km (3,000 miles). The
tread life may be shorter depending on
driving conditions.
¾The temporary spare tyre is for limited
use, however, if the tread wear
solid-band indicator appears, replace the
tyre with the same type of temporary
spare (page 6-51).

Always use wheels of the correct size on
your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is dangerous.
Braking and handling could be affected,
leading to loss of control and an accident.

NOTE
xWhen replacing a wheel, make sure the
new one is the same as the original
factory wheel in diameter, rim width,
and offset (inset/outset).

Never operate the compressor above
300 kPa (3.1 kgf/ c m
2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi):
Operating the compressor above 300
kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi) is
dangerous. When the inflation pressure
rises above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm
2, 3 bar,
43.5 psi), heated air will be exhausted
from the back of the compressor and
you could be burned.
NOTE
xCheck the tyre inflation pressure
label (driver's door frame) for the
correct tyre inflation pressure.
xDo not use the compressor for
longer than 10 minutes because
using the compressor for long
periods could damage it.
xIf the tyre does not inflate, repair of
the tyre may not be possible. If the
tyre does not reach the correct
inflation pressure within a 10-minute
period, it probably has received
more extensive damage. When this
happens, the emergency flat tyre
repair kit cannot be used to repair
the tyre. Contact an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
xIf the tyre has been over-inflated,
loosen the screw cap on the
compressor and bleed some of the
air out.
