Tire Pressure Monitoring System (Tpms); Break-In Period - Mazda CX-3 Quick Start Manual

Tires

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

For your safety, the CX-3 is equipped with TPMS that detects low tire
pressure in one or more tires. If the tire pressure starts getting low in
one or more tires, the system alerts the driver by turning on a light in the
instrument cluster (pp. 31-34) and sounding an alarm.
What to do? Don't ignore the TPMS warning light. Stop and check your
tire pressure (when tires are cold) and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Properly inflated tires are safer, last longer, and increase fuel economy.
In the following cases, the TPMS must be "initialized" so the system can
operate normally.
• The tire pressure is adjusted (up or down) in one or more tires.
• A tire rotation is performed.
• Any tire or wheel is replaced.
• The vehicle's battery is disconnected, replaced or completely dead.
Initialization Process
(TPMS Warning Light is Illuminated)
1 Park the vehicle in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.
2 Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure to the specified
pressure (see tire label located on the driver's side door jamb area)
on all four (4) tires.
3 Switch the ignition ON, but leave the vehicle parked.
4 Push and hold the TPMS "Set Switch"
(left side of dash) until the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster flashes
twice and a beep sound is heard once.
CAUTION: If the TPMS "Set Switch" is pushed without adjusting the tire
pressure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure. The TPMS
warning light may not turn on, even if the tire pressure is low, or it may turn on
if the tire pressure is normal.
NOTE:
Drastic changes in temperature or altitude can affect the pressure in the
tires, causing the TPMS warning light to turn on. Verify the tire pressures when
driving through extreme temperature or altitude changes.

Seats
FOLDING REAR SEATS
Push the button to fold down the seatback.
NOTE:
Left rear seat release is shown.
NOTE:
adjust the front seats all the way back, the headrests
on the rear seats need to be removed when folding
the rear seatbacks down. If not removed, the rear
headrest will push into the front seatback. In order
to remove the headrest from the rear seat, the
seatback needs to be tilted slightly forward.
Returning rear seats to upright position:
1 Install the headrest (if removed).
2 Raise seatbacks until they lock
into position.
3 Pull on the top of the seatbacks to
make sure they are locked.
4 Check that all seat belts are routed
properly for passenger use.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

No special break-in is necessary, but a few
precautions in the first 600 miles should
be observed.
• Do not race the engine.
• Do not maintain one constant speed, either
slow or fast, for a long period of time.
• Avoid full-throttle starts.
• Avoid unnecessary hard stops.
• Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or high
engine rpm for extended periods of time.
