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

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.
