Tire Pressure Monitoring System

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more tires, the system will inform the driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and by the warning beep sound.
Refer to Contact Authorized Mazda Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on page 7-36.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-40.
Refer to Tire Inflation Pressure Warning Beep on page 7-50.
 
The tire pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tire pressure data by radio signal to
the receiver unit in the vehicle.

NOTE

When the ambient temperature is low due to seasonal changes, tire temperatures are also
lower. When the tire temperature decreases, the air pressure decreases as well. The TPMS
warning light may illuminate more frequently. Visually inspect the tires daily before driving,
and check tire pressures monthly with a tire pressure gauge. When checking tire pressures,
use of a digital tire pressure gauge is recommended.

 
TPMS does not alleviate your need to check the pressure and condition of all four tires
regularly.
