  1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.

  2. Stop the engine.

  3. Wait for 5 minutes for the engine oil to flow into the oil pan.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light (Flashing) (Some Models)

The light flashes if there is a malfunction in the system.

Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

 


Do not drive the vehicle at high speeds if the TPMS warning light turns on or flashes.

Driving the vehicle at high speeds while the TPMS warning light is turned on or flashing is dangerous because the brake performance and the steering wheel operability will be reduced. If the vehicle is driven at high speeds or the brakes are suddenly applied, it could lead to an accident. Gradually apply the brakes to lower the vehicle's speed.

Do not ignore the TPMS warning light when it is turned on or flashing.

Continuing to drive the vehicle while ignoring the illumination/flashing of the TPMS warning light is dangerous because a tire may burst which could lead to an accident. Take appropriate measures as soon as possible.
