How to Use the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Check the tire pressure

The current tire pressure can be checked on the center display.

Select “Information” → “Vehicle Status Monitor” → “Maintenance Details” on the Mazda Connect home screen, and then check the current tire pressure, or consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Low tire pressure warning

When a tire pressure of the specified air pressure or lower is detected, the TPMS warning light turns on and a warning indication is displayed in the instrument cluster.

Action

  1. Adjust the tire pressure to the appropriate pressure.

    Refer to the Tires (Search).

     


    If the tire pressure is adjusted when the tire is warm, the tire pressure may lower below the specified pressure after cooling and the warning light may turn on. Adjust the air pressure of the tires when they are cold.

  2. Make sure that the TPMS warning light is turned off.

  3. If the TPMS warning light does not turn off, drive the vehicle for 3 minutes or longer at a speed of 25 km/h (16 mph) or faster.

  4. Make sure that the TPMS warning light is turned off.

If the TPMS warning light remains on even after adjusting the tire pressure, there is a possibility that the tire is flat.

 


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.

 


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 more than 19 minutes after changing a tire or wheel.

  2. After more than 19 minutes have passed, drive the vehicle at a speed of 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.

 


If you drive the vehicle within 19 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

 


  • 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.

 


When installing a new tire pressure sensor, the ID signal code for the tire pressure sensor needs to be registered. For details on purchasing a tire pressure sensor and registering the ID signal of the tire pressure sensor, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
