NOTE

If the tire is not properly inflated, the
tire pressure monitoring system
warning light will illuminate (page
4-26).

20. After driving the vehicle for about 10

minutes or 5 km (3 miles), connect the
air compressor to the tire using Step 9
of the procedure, and check the tire
inflation pressure using the tire
pressure gauge on the air compressor.
If the tire inflation pressure is lower
than the specified tire inflation
pressure, turn the air compressor on
and wait until it reaches the specified
tire inflation pressure.

WARNING

If the tire inflation pressure has
decreased below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm

or bar, 18.9 psi), stop driving and
contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer:

The repair using the emergency flat tire
repair kit was not successful.

If you see a decrease in the tire inflation
pressure, even if Steps 9 to 20 of the
procedure are performed repeatedly,
stop driving:

CAUTION

Before checking the tire inflation
pressure using the tire pressure gauge,
