2019 MAZDA MODEL 3 SEDAN steering wheel

WA R N I N G
Never tamper with the air bag/
pretensioner systems and always have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer perform all
servicing and repairs:
Self-servicing or tampering with the
systems is dangerous. An air bag/
pretensioner could accidentally activate or
become disabled causing serious injury or
death.
▼Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Flashing)
If there is a problem with the TPMS or the
voltage of a tire pressure sensor decreases,
the TPMS warning light flashes and a
message is displayed on the
multi-information
display. Have your
vehicle inspected by an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
WA R N I N G
Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds if
the TPMS warning light turns on or flashes:
Driving the vehicle at high speeds while the
TPMS warning light is turned on or flashing
is dangerous because the brake
performance and the steering wheel
operability will be reduced. If the vehicle is
driven at high speeds or the brakes are
suddenly applied, it could lead to an
accident. Gradually apply the brakes to
lower the vehicle's speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/flashing of the
TPMS warning light is dangerous because a
tire may burst which could lead to an
accident. Take appropriate measures as
soon as possible.
▼ KEY Warning Indication/Warning
Light (Red)
“Keyless Entry System Malfunction.
Have the Vehicle Inspected” is displayed
This message is displayed if the advanced
keyless entry & push button start system
has a problem.
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
If the message is indicated, or the push
button start indicator light (amber)
flashes,
the engine may not start. If the engine
cannot be started, try starting it using the
emergency operation for starting the
engine, and have the vehicle inspected at
an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
Refer to Emergency Operation for Starting
the Engine on page 4-9.
“Low Key Fob Battery. Replace
Battery” is displayed
When the key battery is low, the indication
is displayed when the ignition is switched
OFF.

▼Door-Ajar/Trunk lid-Ajar/
Liftgate-Ajar Warning Indication/
Warning Light
The light turns on if
any door/trunk lid/
liftgate is not closed securely.
Action to be taken
Close the door/trunk lid/liftgate securely.
▼ Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Turns on)
If a tire pressure d
ecreases below the
specified air pressure, the TPMS warning
light turns on.
At the same time, a message and the tire
pressure of each tire are displayed on the
multi-information disp lay alternately. In
addition, the tire (s) with low air pressure
is displayed in yellow.
WA R N I N G
Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds if
the TPMS warning light turns on or flashes:
Driving the vehicle at high speeds while the
TPMS warning light is turned on or flashing
is dangerous because the brake
performance and the steering wheel
operability will be reduced. If the vehicle is
driven at high speeds or the brakes are
suddenly applied, it could lead to an
accident. Gradually apply the brakes to
lower the vehicle's speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing:
Continuing to drive the vehicle while
ignoring the illumination/flashing of the
TPMS warning light is dangerous because a
tire may burst which could lead to an
accident. Take appropriate measures as
soon as possible.
NOTE
While the TPMS is learning the tire
positions, such as immediately after a tire
position has been changed, the tire
pressure at the tire position prior to it
being changed is displayed until the
system completes the learning. For this
reason, the tire pressures displayed for the
tire positions may be different from the
actual tire pressures at the tire positions.
Action to be taken
Adjust the tire pressu res to the appropriate
pressures.
Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure on page
6-30.

Tire Maintenance
▼Tire Maintenance
Improper or inad
equate vehicle
maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are some important
maintenance points:
▼ Tire Inflation Pressure
Inspect all tire p
ressure monthly
(including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain recommended pressures for
the best ride, top handling, and minimum
tire wear. Use the pressures specified on
the vehicle tire inform ation placard or tire
label for optimum service.
▼ Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires
every 16,000 km (10,000 miles) at the
latest or sooner if irregular wear develops.
Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000
km (5,000 miles) to help increase tire life
and distribute wear more evenly.
1. Forward
Do not include (TEMPORARY USE
ONLY) spare tire in rotation.

Inspect the tires for uneven wear and
damage. Abnormal wear is usually caused
by one or a combination of the following:
Incorrect tire pressure
Improper wheel alignment
Out-of-balance wheel
Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to
specification (page 9-9) and inspect the
lug nuts for tightness.
CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires
that have an asymmetrical tread pattern or
studs only from front to rear, not from side
to side. Tire performance will be weakened
if rotated from side to side.
▼ Replacing a Tire
WA R N I N G
Always use tires that are in good condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and traction
could result in an accident.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will
appear as a solid band across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the band
crosses the entire tread.
