Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire
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 tire 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 tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.
 To avoid false readings, the system
samples for a little while before
indicating a problem. As a result it
will not instantaneously register a
rapid tire deflation or blow out.▼ If there is a problem with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
If the TPMS warning light flashes, there
may be a problem with the system.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
to have the system inspected.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Warning Indication/
Warning Light (Flashing) on page
7-33.
In the following cases, the system
cannot recognize the tire pressures
correctly and the TPMS warning light
may
flash.
There is equipment or a device
nearby emitting radio signals the
same as a tire pressure sensor.
A metallic object such as a
non-genuine electronic device is
installed near the center of the
dashboard (obstructs the radio
signals from the tire pressure sensors
to the receiver).
A device such as one of the following
is used in the cabin.
Electronic devices such as a
computer.
Converter devices such as a
DC-AC converter.
There is a large accumulation of
snow or ice around the vehicle tires.
The battery in a tire pressure sensor
is dead.
A wheel not equipped with a tire
pressure sensor is used.
Tires employing steel in the sidewall
of the tire are installed.
Tire chains are used.

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

Do 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.
 Icy or snow-covered roads.
 Tire chains or a temporary spare
tire is installed.
 The vehicle is on a road incline.
 Bumpy roads.
 When 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.
 Do not apply excessive force to the
camera. The camera position and
angle may deviate.
 Do not disassemble, modify, or
remove it as it may no longer be
waterproof.
 The 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.
 Do 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.
 If a camera lens is severely damaged
by flying gravel, have the camera
replaced. For camera replacement,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
NOTE
If 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.
If the camera temperature changes
rapidly (Hot to cold, cold to hot), the
rear view monitor may not operate
correctly.
When replacing the tires, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer. Replacing
the tires could result in deviation of
the guide lines which appear on the
display.
If 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer to have
the vehicle inspected.
