CAUTION
When inserting the air compressor
plug into or removing it from the
accessory socket, make sure that
the air compressor switch is off.
When turning the air compressor
on/o ff, use the air compressor
switch.
11.The sealant is injected into the tire when the air compressor is
switched on. After the sealant is
injected completely, wait until the
tire in flation pressure increases to
the specified tire in flation pressure.
NOTE
The infl ation pressure may increase
to about 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2, 3
bar, 43.5 psi) temporarily to inject
the sealant through the valve.
Normally, the in flation pressure
decreases gradually and it reaches
the actual infl ation pressure after
about 30 seconds.
WARNING
Never use the air compressor
above 300 kPa (3.1 kgf/cm2, 3
bar, 43.5 psi):
Using the air compressor at an
in flation pressure above 300 kPa
(3.1 kgf/cm
2, 3 bar, 43.5 psi)
continuously is dangerous. If the air
compressor overheats, hot air will
be exhausted and you could get
burned.
NOTE
Check the tire in flation pressure
label rear door on the driver's
side for the correct tire in flation
pressure.
Do not operate the air
compressor for a continuous 10
minutes or longer because using
it for long periods could cause a
malfunction.
If the tire in flation pressure does
not increase, repair of the tire is
not possible. If the tire does not
reach the speci fied tire inflation
pressure within 10 minutes, it
may have received extensive
damage. In this case, the repair
using the emergency flat tire
repair kit was not successful.
Contact an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting
in serious injury. In addition, do not
adhere the sticker to areas where
warning lights or the speedometer
cannot be viewed.
14.When the tire in flates to the
specified tire in flation pressure, turn
the air compressor switch o ff, turn
the sleeve of the injection hose to
the left, and pull it out of the tire
valve.
15.Remove the air compressor hose from the injection valve of the
bottle. After that, install the
injection hose to the injection valve
of the bottle to prevent leakage of
any remaining sealant.
CAUTION
The remaining sealant in the hose
may spray out when the hose is
removed. Remove the hose
carefully because you may not be
able to remove the sealant
contacting clothing or other
objects.

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 di fferent from
the actual tire pressures at the tire
positions.
Action to be taken
Adjust the tire pressures to the
appropriate pressures.
Refer to Tire In flation Pressure on page
6-23.
CAUTION
Adjust the tire pressures while the
tires are cool. Because the air
pressure in the tires fluctuates
depending on the temperature,
before adjusting the tire pressures,
let the vehicle sit for an hour or drive
it only within a 1.6 km (1 mile)
distance. If the tire pressures are
adjusted while the tires are warm,
the tire pressures may decrease
below the specified air pressure after
cooling down which could turn on
the warning light. In addition,
because the air pressure in the tires
decreases when the ambient
temperature is low, if the ambient
temperature increases, an
illuminated TPMS warning light may
turn o ff. Under any circumstances,
always adjust the tire pressures while
the tires are cool.
After adjusting the tire pressures, the
TPMS warning light turns o ff. If the
TPMS warning light does not turn off,
drive the vehicle at a speed of about
25 km (16 mph) or faster for 3
minutes or longer and make sure the
warning light turns off.
If the TPMS warning light remains on
even after adjusting the tire pressures,
one of the tires may have a puncture.
