When a tire pressure decreases

If the TPMS warning light turns on, a tire
pressure may be low. Inspect the tire
pressures and adjust them to the correct
inflation pressure.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) Warning Indication/Warning
Light (Turns on) on page 7-36.

Tires and Wheels

CAUTION

When inspecting/adjusting the tire
pressures, do not apply excessive force to
the air valve of the tire pressure sensor.
Otherwise, the tire pressure sensor could be
damaged.

When changing tires and wheels

When changing the tires or wheels (such
as installing winter tires), it will be
necessary to register the ID signal code of
the tire pressure sensor to the TPMS.
Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer do the
registration or register the ID signal codes
of the tire pressure sensors using the
following procedure.

NOTE

The tire pressure sensors on each wheel
have a unique ID signal code. For the
TPMS to operate correctly, the ID signal
codes of the tire pressure sensors need to
be registered to the system.

1. Wait about 15 minutes after changing a

tire or wheel.

2. After 15 minutes have passed, drive

the vehicle at a speed of about 25 km/h
(16 mph) or faster for 3 minutes or
longer. While driving, the ID signal
codes of the tire pressure sensors are
automatically registered.

NOTE

If you drive the vehicle within 15 minutes
of changing a tire or wheel, the TPMS
warning light will flash because the ID
signal codes for the tire pressure sensors
were not registered. In this case, stop the
vehicle and register the ID signal codes of
the tire pressure sensors following the
procedure.

When replacing tires and wheels

CAUTION



When replacing the tires and wheels,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Otherwise, the tire pressure sensors could
be damaged when replacing them.



Do not install non-genuine wheels. If
wheels other than genuine ones are
installed, it may not be possible to install
the tire pressure sensors.

When replacing a tire or wheel, always
install the tire pressure sensor. The
following combinations of tires, wheels, or
tires and wheels are possible.



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



Only a tire is replaced without replacing
the tire pressure sensor and wheel.



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