After tires have been changed, turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then turn it back to the ACC or LOCK position. 2. Wait for about 15 minutes. 3. After about 15 minutes, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph) for 10 minutes and the tire pressure sensor ID signal code will be registered automatically. NOTE l Replacing tires and wheels CAUTION l When replacing/repairing the tires or wheels or both, have the work done by an Authorized Mazda Dealer, or the tire pressure sensors may be damaged. The wheels equipped on your Mazda are specially designed for installation of the tire pressure sensors. Do not use non-genuine wheels, otherwise it may not be possible to install the tire pressure sensors. If the vehicle is driven within about 15 minutes of changing tires, the tire pressure monitoring system warning light will flash because the sensor ID signal code would not have been registered. If this happens, park the vehicle for about 15 minutes, after which the sensor ID signal code will register upon driving the vehicle for 10 minutes. Be sure to have the tire pressure sensors installed whenever tires or wheels are replaced. When having a tire or wheel or both replaced, the following types of tire pressure sensor installations are possible. l The tire pressure sensor is removed from the old wheel and installed to the new one. The same tire pressure sensor is used with the same wheel. Only the tire is replaced. A new tire pressure sensor is installed to a new wheel. l l 5-30 Form No.8V66-EA-06F
