This warning light stays on for a few 
seconds when the ignition switch is turned

This warning light illuminates for a few 
seconds when the ignition switch is turned 
to the ON position.

Thereafter, the warning light illuminates 
when tire pressure is too low or too high 
in one or more tires, and flashes when 
there is a system malfunction.

Warning light illuminates/Warning 
beep sounds

When the warning light illuminates, and 
the warning beep sound is heard (about 3 
seconds), tire pressure is too low or too 
high in one or more tires.

Adjust the tire pressure to the correct tire 
pressure at an Authorized Mazda Dealer 
or the nearest service station. Refer to the 
specification charts (page 10-7).

If the automatic transmission warning 
light illuminates, the transmission has 
an electrical problem. Continuing to 
drive your Mazda in this condition 
could cause damage to your 
transmission. Consult an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
