Tire Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tire and informs the driver of a
decrease in the tire air pressure when it
becomes lower than the specified air
pressure.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data
sent from the tire pressure sensors
installed on each wheel via radio signal
is received by the receiver unit in the
vehicle to monitor the tire pressures.

Warning and Cautions forUsing the Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle at high
speeds if the TPMS warning light
is
turned on or flashing.
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 brake and reduce
the vehicle speed.
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light
when it is turned on or flashing.
Continuing to driv e the vehicle while
ignoring the illumi nation/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.

CAUTION
Each tire, 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 tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
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.

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.

CX-90_8KG7-EA-22L_Edition1_new 2022-11-17 16:05:04

NOTE
If you drive the vehicle within 19
minutes of changing a tire or wheel,
the TPMS warning light
will flash
because the ID signal codes for the tire
pressure sensors were not registered.
In this case, stop the vehicle and
register the ID signal codes of the tire
pressure sensors following the
procedure.
When replacing tires and wheels
CAUTION
 When replacing the tires and wheels,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
Otherwise, the tire pressure sensors
could be damaged when replacing
them.
 Do not install non-genuine wheels. If
wheels other than genuine ones are
installed, it may not be possible to
install the tire pressure sensors.
When replacing a tire or wheel, always
install the tire pressure sensor. The
following combinations of tires,
wheels, or tires and wheels are
possible.
The tire pressure sensor from the old
wheel is removed and it is installed
to the new wheel.
Only a tire is replaced without
replacing the tire pressure sensor and
wheel.
A new tire pressure sensor is installed
to a new wheel.
NOTE
When installing a new tire pressure
sensor, the ID signal code for the tire
pressure sensor needs to be registered.
For details on purchasing a tire
pressure sensor and registering the ID
signal of the tire pressure sensor,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

fuel may spray out and cause a fire.
Spraying fuel can also be harmful if it
gets in the eyes or on the skin.
Do not breath fuel vapors.
To x i c s u b s t a n c e s m i ght be included in
the fuel.
Insert the refueling nozzle into the
fuel-filler port securely.
If the nozzle is not inserted sufficiently,
it may delay the auto stop when the
tank is full, resulting in the fuel spilling
over and a possible fire.
Do not continue fueling after it is
stopped automatically.
If you continue fueling, fuel may spill
over causing a fire.
Do not pull out the refueling nozzle
immediately after the fuel is stopped
automatically.
The fuel remaining in the refueling
nozzle may spill out and cause a fire.
