Tire Pressure Monitoring System 
Warning Light

This warning light illuminates for a few 
seconds when the ignition switch is turned 
to the ON position.

Thereafter, the warning light illuminates 
when tire pressure is too low or too high 
in one or more tires, and flashes when 
there is a system malfunction.

Warning light illuminates/Warning 
beep sounds

When the warning light illuminates, and 
the warning beep sound is heard (about 3 
seconds), tire pressure is too low or too 
high in one or more tires.

Adjust the tire pressure to the correct tire 
pressure at an Authorized Mazda Dealer 
or the nearest service station. Refer to the 
specification charts (page 10-8).

If the warning light illuminates again even 
after the tire pressures are adjusted, there 
may be a tire puncture. Replace the 
punctured tire with the temporary spare 
tire (page 7-6).
