TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

For your safety, the CX-5 is equipped with TPMS that detects low 
tire pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting 
low in one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a 
light in the instrument cluster (pp. 35-36) and sounding an alarm.

What to do?

 Don’t ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your 

tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure. 

Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.

In the following cases, the TPMS must be “initialized” so the system can 
operate normally.

• 

The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.

• 

A tire rotation is performed.

• 

Any tire or wheel is replaced.

• 

The vehicle’s battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead. 

Initialization Process (TPMS Warning Light   is Illuminated)

1

  Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.

2

  Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified  

pressure (see tire label located on the driver’s  

side door opening) on all four (4) tires.

3

  Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.

4

  Push and hold the TPMS “Set Switch”  

(left side of dash) until the TPMS warning light  

 in the instrument cluster flashes twice and  

a beep sound is heard once.

CAUTION:

 If the TPMS “Set Switch” is pushed without adjusting the tire 

pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS 

warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn 

on if the tire pressure is normal.

NOTE: 

Drastic changes in temperature or altitude can affect the pressure in 

the tires, causing the TPMS warning light to turn on. Verify the tire pressures 

when driving through extreme temperature or altitude changes.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE 

The electric parking brake equipment applies the parking brake using an 
electric motor.

Applying the electric parking brake: 

The electric parking brake can be applied regardless of the ignition  

switch position. 

1

Depress the brake pedal.

2

 Pull the electric parking brake switch 

UP

 to apply the brake.

Releasing the electric parking brake: 

The electric parking brake can be released while the ignition is switched ON 

or while the engine is running. 

1

Depress the brake pedal.

2

Push the electric parking brake switch 

DOWN

 to release the brake.

Electric parking brake automatic release:

The parking brake is released automatically when the accelerator pedal  

is depressed and all of the following conditions 

are met:

• 

The engine is running.

• 

The driver’s door is closed.

• 

The driver’s seat belt is fastened. 

• 

Selector lever is in the D, M or R position.
