Authorized Mazda Dealer.  
WARNING  
Do not drive the vehicle at high  
speeds if the TPMS warning light turns  
on or flashes:  
A system malfunction is indicated if the  
warning light constantly flashes,  
constantly illuminates or does not  
illuminate at all when the ignition is  
switched ON. If any of these occur,  
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer  
as soon as possible. The system may  
not operate in an accident.  
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 brakes to lower the  
vehicle's speed.  
WARNING  
Never tamper with the air bag/  
pretensioner systems and always have  
an Authorized Mazda Dealer perform  
all servicing and repairs:  
Self-servicing or tampering with the  
systems is dangerous. An air bag/  
pretensioner could accidentally  
activate or become disabled causing  
serious injury or death.  
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

CAUTION  
Adjust the tire pressures while the

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 oꢀ. Under any circumstances,  
always adjust the tire pressures while  
the tires are cool.  
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 brakes to lower the  
vehicle's speed.  
Do not ignore the TPMS warning light

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.  
After adjusting the tire pressures, the  
TPMS warning light turns oꢀ. If the  
TPMS warning light does not turn oꢀ,  
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 oꢀ.  
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 diꢀerent from  
the actual tire pressures at the tire  
positions.  
If the TPMS warning light remains on  
even after adjusting the tire pressures,  
one of the tires may have a puncture.
