Driving Your Mazda

Starting and Driving

Form No. 8S18-EA-03I

2. Wait for about 15 minutes.

3. After about 15 minutes, drive the 

vehicle at a speed of at least 20 km/h 
(12 mph) for several minutes and the 
tire pressure sensor ID signal code will 
be registered automatically.

Replacing tires and wheels

Be sure to have the tire pressure sensors 
installed whenever tires or wheels are 
replaced.
When having a tire or wheel or both 
replaced, the following types of tire 
pressure sensor installation are possible.

•

The tire pressure sensor is removed 
from the old wheel and installed to the 
new one.

•

The same tire pressure sensor is used 
with the same wheel. Only the tire is 
replaced.

•

A new tire pressure sensor is installed 
to a new wheel.

NOTE

If the vehicle is driven within about 15 
minutes of changing tires, the tire 
pressure monitoring system warning 
light will flash because the sensor ID 
signal code would not have been 
registered. If this happens, park the 
vehicle for about 15 minutes, after 
which the sensor ID signal code will 
register upon driving the vehicle for 
several minutes.

•

When replacing/repairing the tires 
or wheels or both, have the work 
done by an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer, or the tire pressure sensors 
may be damaged.

•

The wheels equipped on your 
Mazda are specially designed for 
installation of the tire pressure 
sensors. Do not use non-genuine 
wheels, otherwise it may not be 
possible to install the tire pressure 
sensors.

CAUTION

NOTE

•

The tire pressure sensor ID signal 
code must be registered when a new 
tire pressure sensor is purchased. 
For purchase of a tire pressure 
sensor and registration of the tire 
pressure sensor ID signal code, 
consult an Authorized Mazda 
Dealer.

•

When reinstalling a previously 
removed tire pressure sensor to a 
wheel, replace the grommet for the 
tire pressure sensor.
