Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all four
l
wheels. If the air pressure of one or more tires is too low, the system warns the driver by
indicating the tire pressure monitoring system warning light in the instrument cluster
(the warning is also indicated in the display on the type A instrument cluster) and
operating a beep sound. The system monitors the tire 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
specified tire pressure (value on the tire pressure label). Follow the procedure and
perform the initialization.
For vehicles with the type A instrument cluster, check the vehicle condition or have the
l
vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer according to the indication.
A system malfunction or operation conditions are indicated by a warning.
