Changing Tyres With a Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System
You should always have tyres serviced by
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
NOTE
Each road wheel and tyre is fitted with a
tyre pressure sensor located inside the
wheel and tyre assembly cavity. The
pressure sensor attaches to the valve
stem. The tyre covers the pressure
sensor and it is not visible unless the
tyre is removed. Take care when
changing the tyre to avoid damaging the
sensor.

Understanding the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System
You must maintain the correct tyre
pressures, even if low tyre pressure has
not illuminated the warning lamp.
The system measures the pressure in the
road tyres and displays a warning lamp in
the instrument cluster when a low
pressure is detected. Refer to WARNING
LAMPS AND INDICATORS on page 74.
The system detects this lower pressure as
being significantly below the correct
inflation pressure and the warning lamp
illuminates.
When the Temporary Spare Tyre is
Installed
If you need to replace a road wheel and
tyre with the temporary spare wheel, the
system will continue to identify a defect.
This is to remind you to repair the
damaged road wheel and tyre and refit the
repaired road wheel and tyre assembly to
your vehicle. To restore the correct
operation of the system, you must have
the repaired road wheel and tyre assembly
refitted to your vehicle.
When You Believe the System is Not
Operating Correctly
The main function of the system is to
warn you when the tyre pressures are low.
It can also warn you in the event the
system is no longer capable of operating
correctly. See the following chart for
information concerning the system:
When Inflating the Tyres
When inflating the tyres the system may
not respond immediately to the air added
to the tyres.
