Tire Pressure Monitoring System Warning Light (Some Models)

When the warning light illuminates, and the warning beep sound is heard (about 3 seconds), tire pressure is too low in one or more tires.

 


If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, or the tire pressure warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed immediately and avoid sudden maneuvering and braking:

If the tire pressure monitoring system warning light illuminates or flashes, or the tire pressure warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high speeds, or perform sudden maneuvering or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen and result in an accident.

To determine if you have a slow leak or a flat, pull over to a safe position where you can check the visual condition of the tire and determine if you have enough air to proceed to a place where air may be added and the system monitored again by an Authorized Mazda Dealer or a tire repair station.

Do not ignore the TPMS Warning Light:

Ignoring the TPMS warning light is dangerous, even if you know why it is illuminated. Have the problem taken care of as soon as possible before it develops into a more serious situation that could lead to tire failure and a dangerous accident.

Inspect the tires and adjust to the specified inflation pressure (Search).

 


  • Perform tire pressure adjustment when the tires are cold. Tire pressure will vary according to the tire temperature, therefore let the vehicle stand for 1 hour or only drive it 1.6 km (1 mile) or less before adjusting the tire pressures. When pressure is adjusted on hot tires to the cold inflation pressure, the TPMS warning light/beep may turn on after the tires cool and pressure drops below specification.

    Also, an illuminated TPMS warning light, resulting from the tire air pressure dropping due to cold ambient temperature will remain illuminated even if the ambient temperature rises. In this case, it will also be necessary to adjust the tire air pressures. If the TPMS warning light illuminates due to a drop in tire air pressure, make sure to check and adjust the tire air pressures.

  • Tires lose air naturally over time and the TPMS cannot tell if the tires are getting too soft over time or you have a flat. However, when you find one low tire in a set of four-that is an indication of trouble; you should have someone drive the vehicle slowly forward so you can inspect any low tire for cuts and any metal objects sticking through tread or sidewall. Put a few drops of water in the valve stem to see if it bubbles indicating a bad valve. Leaks need to be addressed by more than simply reinflating the tire as leaks are dangerous ― take it to an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Smart Brake Support/Smart City Brake Support (SBS/SCBS)Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) Warning Light (Some Models)

The light turns on if the windshield or the radar sensor are dirty, or there is a malfunction in the system. The light turns on if the windshield is dirty or there is a malfunction in the system.

Verify the reason why the warning light is illuminated on the center display.

If the reason why the warning light is illuminated is due to a dirty windshield, clean the windshield.

If the warning light is illuminated because of a dirty radar sensor, clean the front emblem.

For any other reasons, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Low Fuel Warning Light

The light turns on when the remaining fuel is about 9.0 L (2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal).

 


The light illumination timing may vary because fuel inside the fuel tank moves around according to the driving conditions and the vehicle posture.

Add fuel.

Check Fuel Cap Warning Light

If the check fuel cap warning light illuminates while driving, the fuel-filler cap may not be installed properly.

Stop the engine and reinstall the fuel-filler cap.

Refer to Fuel-Filler Cap (Search)

Seat Belt Warning Light

Except Mexico

The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened with the ignition switched ON.

If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger's seat is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light flashes. After a short time, the warning light stops flashing, but remains illuminated.

 


  • The warning light flashes for about 6 seconds if the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the ignition is switched ON.

  • To allow the front passenger occupant classification sensor to function properly, do not place and sit on an additional seat cushion on the front passenger's seat. The sensor may not function properly because the additional seat cushion could cause sensor interference.

  • If a small child is seated on the front passenger's seat, the warning light may not operate.

Mexico

The seat belt warning light turns on if the driver or front passenger's seat is occupied and the seat belt is not fastened with the ignition switched ON.

If the driver or front passenger's seat belt is unfastened (only when the front passenger's seat is occupied) and the vehicle is driven at a speed faster than about 20 km/h (12 mph), the warning light flashes. After a short time, the warning light stops flashing, but remains illuminated. If a seat belt remains unfastened, the warning light flashes again for a given period of time.

 


  • Placing heavy items on the front passenger's seat may cause the front passenger's seat belt warning function to operate depending on the weight of the item.

  • If a small child is seated on the front passenger's seat, the warning light may not operate.

Fasten the seat belts.

Low Washer Fluid Level Warning Light (Some Models)

This warning light indicates that little washer fluid remains.

Add washer fluid (Search).

Door-Ajar Warning Light

The light turns on if any door/liftgate is not closed securely.

Close the door/liftgate securely.
