Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

*Some models.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

*

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four tyres. If
the air pressure of one or more tyres is too low, the system warns the driver by indicating the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster and operating a beep
sound. The system monitors the tyre pressures indirectly using the data sent from the ABS
wheel speed sensors.
To allow the system to operate correctly, the system needs to be initialized with the speci

¿ ed

tyre pressure (value on the tyre pressure label). Follow the procedure and perform the
initialization.
Refer to Tyre Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on page 4-192 .
The warning light

À ashes when the system has a malfunction.

Refer to Warning Lights on page 4-38 .

ABS wheel speed sensor

When Driving

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

CAUTION

Each tyre, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold

and in

À ated to the inÀ ation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the

vehicle placard or tyre in

À ation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of a different

size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tyre in

À ation pressure label, you

should determine the proper tyre in

À ation pressure for those tyres.)

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tyre pressure

monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tyre pressure telltale when one or
more of your tyres is signi

¿ cantly under-inÀ ated. Accordingly, when the low tyre

pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tyres as soon as possible,
and in

À ate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signi¿ cantly under-inÀ ated tyre

causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre failure. Under-in

À ation also reduces

fuel ef

¿ ciency and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping

ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tyre maintenance, and it is the

driver's responsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure, even if under-in

À ation has not

reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tyre pressure telltale.

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate

when the system is not operating properly.

The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tyre pressure telltale.

When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will

À ash for approximately

one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tyres and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function
properly.

To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before indicating a

problem. As a result it will not instantaneously register a rapid tyre de

À ation or blow

out.

4–192

When Driving

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

NOTE

Because this system detects slight changes in tyre conditions, the timing of the warning
may be faster or slower in the following cases:

The size, manufacturer, or the type of tyres is different from the speci

¿ cation.

The size, manufacturer, or the type of a tyre is different from the others, or the level of

tyre wear is excessively different between them.

A run-

À at tyre, studless tyre, snow tyre, or tyre chains are used.

An emergency tyre is used (The tyre pressure monitoring system warning light may

À ash and then continue illuminating).

A tyre is repaired using the emergency

À at tyre repair kit.

The tyre pressure is excessively higher than the speci

¿ ed pressure, or the tyre pressure

is suddenly lowered for some reason such as a tyre burst during driving.

The vehicle speed is lower than about 15 km/h (9.3 mph) (including when the vehicle

is stopped), or the drive period is shorter than 5 minutes.

The vehicle is driven on an extremely rough road or a slippery, icy road.

Hard steering and rapid acceleration/deceleration are repeated such as during

aggressive driving on a winding road.

Load on the vehicle is applied to a tyre such as by loading heavy luggage to one side of

the vehicle.

System initialization has not been implemented with the speci

¿ ed tyre pressure.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

Initialization

In the following cases, system
initialization must be performed so that the
system operates normally.

A tyre pressure is adjusted.

Tyre rotation is performed.

A tyre or wheel is replaced.

The battery is replaced or completely

drained.

The tyre pressure monitoring system

warning light is illuminated.

Initialization method

1. Park the car in a safe place and

¿ rmly

apply the parking brake.

2. Let the tyres cool, then adjust the tyre

pressure of all four (4) tyres to the
speci

¿ ed pressure indicated on the tyre

pressure label located on the driver's
door frame (door open).

Refer to Tyres on page 9-10 .

3. Switch the ignition ON.

4–193

When Driving

Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

4. Press and hold the tyre pressure

monitoring system set switch and
verify that the tyre pressure monitoring
system warning light in the instrument
cluster

À ashes twice and a beep sound

is heard once.

Type A

Type B

CAUTION

If the system initialization is performed
without adjusting the tyre pressure, the
system cannot detect the normal tyre
pressure and it may not illuminate the
tyre pressure monitoring system warning
light even if a tyre pressure is low, or
it may illuminate the light even if the
pressures are normal.
Adjust the tyre pressure on all four
tyres and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the
warning light turns on for a reason other
than a

À at tyre, the tyre pressure of all

four tyres may have decreased naturally.
The system initialization will not be
performed if the switch is pressed while
the vehicle is being driven.

Diesel Particulate Filter (SKYACTIV-D 1.5)

Diesel Particulate Filter
(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)

The diesel particulate

¿ lter collects and

removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
¿ lter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the
diesel particulate

¿ lter indicator light may

illuminate under the following conditions:

If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9

mph) or less continuously.

If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a

short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.

If the vehicle is idled for a long time.

NOTE

The engine sound and exhaust gas smell
may change when PM is being removed
while driving.

Diesel Particulate Filter Indicator Light

When illuminated

The particulate matter (PM) cannot be
removed automatically and the amount of
collected PM reaches a speci

¿ ed amount.

After the engine has suf

¿ ciently warmed

up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C
or more), depress the accelerator pedal and
drive the vehicle at a speed of 20 km/h
or more for about 15 to 20 minutes to
eliminate the PM.

When

À ashing

Contact an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

CAUTION

If the vehicle is continually driven as
usual with the diesel particulate

¿ lter

indicator light illuminated, PM increases
and the indicator light may start

À ashing.

If the diesel particulate

¿ lter indicator

light starts

À ashing, have the vehicle

inspected immediately at an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer. If the vehicle is not
inspected and continues to be driven, the
engine may malfunction.

NOTE

When the diesel particulate

¿ lter

indicator light

À ashes, the engine

output is restricted to protect the diesel
particulate

¿ lter.
