they may not operate correctly. Take your vehicle to an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Air Bag/Front Seat

System Warning 

Light

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.

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.

Tire Pressure 

Monitoring System 

Warning Light

*

If the tire pressure monitoring system has a malfunction, the tire pressure warning 

light flashes for about 1 minute when the ignition is switched ON and then continues 

illuminating. Have your vehicle checked by an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as 

possible.

WARNING

If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, or the tire 

pressure warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed immediately and avoid 

sudden maneuvering and braking:

If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, or the tire 

pressure warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high 

speeds, or perform sudden maneuvering or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen 

and result in an accident.

To determine if you have a slow leak or a flat, pull over to a safe position where you can 

check the visual condition of the tire and determine if you have enough air to proceed 

to a place where air may be added and the system monitored again by an Authorized 

Mazda Dealer or a tire repair station.

Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:

Ignoring the TPMS warning light is dangerous, even if you know why it is illuminated. 

Have the problem taken care of as soon as possible before it develops into a more 

serious situation that could lead to tire failure and a dangerous accident.
