How to Use the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Check the tire pressure
The current tire pressure can be
checked on the center display.
Refer to the Vehicle Status Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
Low tire pressure warning
When a tire pressure of the specified
air pressure or lower is detected, the
TPMS warning light
turns on and a
warning indication is displayed in the
instrument cluster.
1. Message is displayed.
Action
1. Adjust the tire pressure to the appropriate pressure.
Refer to the Tires on page 10-71.
CAUTION
If the tire pressure is adjusted when
the tire is warm, the tire pressure
may lower below the specified
pressure after cooling and the
warning light may turn on. Adjust
the air pressure of the tires when
they are cold.
2. Make sure that the TPMS warning
light
is turned off.
3. If the TPMS warning light does
not turn off, drive the vehicle for 3
minutes or longer at a speed of 25
km/h (16 mph) or faster.
4. Make sure that the TPMS warning
light
is turned off.
If the TPMS warning light remains on
even after adjusting the tire pressure,
there is a possibility that the tire is flat.
CAUTION
When inspecting/adjusting the tire
pressures, do not apply excessive force
to the air valve of the tire pressure
sensor. Otherwise, the tire pressure
sensor could be damaged.
When changing tires and wheels
When changing the tires or wheels
(such as installing winter tires), it will
be necessary to register the ID signal
code of the tire pressure sensor to the
TPMS.
Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer do
the registration or register the ID signal
codes of the tire pressure sensors using
the following procedure.
NOTE
The tire pressure sensors on each
wheel have a unique ID signal code.
For the TPMS to operate correctly, the
ID signal codes of the tire pressure
sensors need to be registered to the
system.
1. Wait more than 19 minutes after changing a tire or wheel.
2. After more than 19 minutes have passed, drive the vehicle at a speed
of 25 km/h (16 mph) or faster for 3
minutes or longer. While driving,
the ID signal codes of the tire
pressure sensors are automatically
registered.
