Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)
▼
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
The TPMS monitors the air pressure of
each tyre and if it decreases below the
specified value, the system notifies the
driver by turning on the TPMS warning
light in the instrument cluster and
indicating a message on the
multi-information display.
For the TPMS, the air pressure data
sent from the tyre pressure sensors
installed on each wheel via radio signal
is received by the receiver unit in the
vehicle to monitor the tyre pressures.
1. Tyre pressure sensors
In addition, the current tyre pressures
can be checked using the centre
display.
Refer to the Vehicle Status Monitor
section in the Mazda Connect
Owner's Manual.
NOTE
x
When the ambient temperature is
low, the tyre temperatures also
decrease. If the tyre temperatures
decrease, the air pressure in the tyres
will also decrease which could turn
on the TPMS warning light.
x
Before driving, visually inspect the
tyres for abnormalities. Additionally,
inspect the tyre pressures monthly. A
digital type air pressure gauge is
recommended for inspecting the tyre
pressures.
The TPMS is not a substitute for your
own periodic inspection of the tyres.
Always inspect the tyres yourself
periodically.
CAUTION
¾
Each tyre, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tyres of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tyre inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tyre
inflation 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 significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tyre pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and
check your tyres as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tyre causes the tyre to
overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces tyre
tread life and increases energy
consumption, and may affect the
vehicle's handling and stopping
ability.
