Inspect the tires and adjust to the specified  
inflation pressure (page 6-42).  
When the warning light illuminates, and the  
warning beep sound is heard (about 3 seconds),  
tire pressure is too low in one or more tires.  
NOTE  
y
Perform tire pressure adjustment when the tires  
WARNING  
are cold. Tire pressure will vary according to  
the tire temperature, therefore let the vehicle  
stand for 1 hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile)  
or less before adjusting the tire pressures.  
When pressure is adjusted on hot tires to the  
cold inflation pressure, the TPMS warning  
light/beep may turn on after the tires cool and  
pressure drops below specification.  
Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light,  
resulting from the tire air pressure dropping  
due to cold ambient temperature will remain  
illuminated even if the ambient temperature  
rises. In this case, it will also be necessary  
to adjust the tire air pressures. If the TPMS  
warning light illuminates due to a drop in tire  
air pressure, make sure to check and adjust the  
tire air pressures.  
If the tire pressure monitoring system

avoid sudden maneuvering and braking:  
If the tire pressure monitoring system

Tires lose air naturally over time and the TPMS  
cannot tell if the tires are getting too soft over  
time or you have a flat. However, when you  
find one low tire in a set of four-that is an  
indication of trouble; you should have someone  
drive the vehicle slowly forward so you can  
inspect any low tire for cuts and any metal  
objects sticking through tread or sidewall. Put  
a few drops of water in the valve stem to see if  
it bubbles indicating a bad valve. Leaks need  
to be addressed by more than simply reinflating  
the tire as leaks are dangerous — take it to an  
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
