Driving Your MazdaWarning/Indicator Lights and Beep SoundsWARNINGIgnoring the Warning Light:Ignoring the warning light isdangerous, even if you know why it isilluminated. Have the problem takencare of as soon as possible before itdevelops into a more serious situationthat could lead to tire failure and adangerous accident.Warning light illuminates/Warningbeep soundsWhen the warning light illuminates, andthe warning beep sound is heard (about 3seconds), tire pressure is too low in one ormore tires.Adjust the tire pressure to the correct tirepressure. Refer to the specification charts(page 10-7).CAUTIONWhen replacing/repairing the tires orwheels or both, have the work done byan Authorized Mazda Dealer, or the tirepressure sensors may be damaged.NOTEllPerform tire pressure adjustmentwhen the tires are cold. Tire pressurewill vary according to the tiretemperature, therefore let the vehiclestand for 1 hour or only drive it 1.6km (1 mile) or less before adjustingthe tire pressures. When pressure isadjusted on hot tires to the coldinflation pressure, the TPMSwarning light/beep may turn on afterthe tires cool and pressure dropsbelow specification.Also, an illuminated TPMS warninglight, resulting from the tire airpressure dropping due to coldambient temperature, may go out ifthe ambient temperature rises. In thiscase, it will also be necessary toadjust the tire air pressures. If theTPMS warning light illuminates dueto a drop in tire air pressure, makesure to check and adjust the tire airpressures.After adjusting the tire air pressures,it may require some time for theTPMS warning light to go out. If theTPMS warning light remainsilluminated, drive the vehicle at aspeed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph)for 10 minutes, and then verify that itgoes out.If the warning light illuminates again evenafter the tire pressures are adjusted, theremay be a tire puncture. Replace thepunctured tire with the temporary sparetire (page 7-6).5-41
