Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)
*
▼Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tyre and if it decreases below the
specified value, the system
notifies the
driver by turning on the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster and
indicating a message on the
multi-information display.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data
sent from the tyre pressure sensors
installed on each wheel via radio signal
is received by the receiver unit in the
vehicle to monitor the tyre pressures.
1. Tyre pressure sensors
In addition, the current tyre pressures
can be checked using the centre
display.
Refer to the Vehicle Status Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
NOTE
xWhen the ambient temperature is
low, the tyre temperatures also
decrease. If the tyre temperatures
decrease, the air pressure in the tyres
will also decrease which could turn
on the TPMS warning light.
xBefore driving, visually inspect the
tyres for abnormalities. Additionally,
inspect the tyre pressures monthly. A
digital type air pressure gauge is
recommended for inspecting the tyre
pressures.
The TPMS is not a substitute for your
own periodic inspection of the tyres.
Always inspect the tyres yourself
periodically.
CAUTION
¾Each tyre, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tyre
inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tyres of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tyre inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tyre
inflation pressure for those tyres.)
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.

Rear View Monitor*
▼Rear View Monitor
The rear view monitor provides visual
images of the rear of the vehicle when
reversing.
WARNING
Always drive carefully confirming the
safety of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with
your eyes:
Reversing the vehicle by only looking at
the screen is dangerous as it may cause
an accident or a collision with an
object. The rear view monitor is only a
visual assist device when reversing the
vehicle. The images on the screen may
be
different from the actual conditions.
CAUTION
¾Do not use the rear view monitor
under the following conditions:
Using the rear view monitor under
the following conditions is
dangerous and could result in injury
or vehicle damage or both.
¾Icy or snow-covered roads.
¾Tyre chains or a temporary spare
tyre is installed.
¾The vehicle is on a road incline.
¾When the display is cold, images
may course across the monitor or the
screen and may be dimmer than
usual, which could cause difficulty in
confirming the surrounding
conditions of the vehicle. Always
drive carefully confirming the safety
of the rear and the surrounding
conditions by looking directly with
your eyes.
¾Do not apply excessive force to the
camera. The camera position and
angle may deviate.
¾Do not disassemble, modify, or
remove it as it may no longer be
waterproof.
¾The camera cover is made of plastic.
Do not apply degreasing agents,
organic solvents, wax, or glass
coating agents to the camera cover.
If any are spilled on the cover, wipe
off with a soft cloth immediately.
¾Do not rub the camera cover
forcefully with an abrasive or hard
brush. The camera cover or lens may
be scratched which might affect the
images.
NOTE
xIf water, snow, or mud is stuck on
the camera lens, wipe it
off using a
soft cloth. If it cannot be wiped off,
use a mild detergent.
xIf the camera temperature changes
rapidly (Hot to cold, cold to hot), the
rear view monitor may not operate
correctly.
xWhen replacing the tyres, consult an
expert repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
Replacing the tyres could result in
deviation of the guide lines which
appear on the display.
xIf the vehicle's front, side, or rear has
been involved in a collision, the
alignment of the rear view parking
camera (location, installation angle)
may have deviated. Always consult
an expert repairer (we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer) to
have the vehicle inspected.
