Mazda3_8V66-EA-06F_Edition2 Page168 Friday, May 26 2006 10:54 AM Black plate (168,1) Driving Your Mazda Warning/Indicator Lights and Beep Sounds NOTE l After adjusting the tire air pressures, it may require some time for the TPMS warning light to go out. If the TPMS warning light remains illuminated, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph) for 10 minutes, and then verify that it goes out. Tires can loose a little air quite 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 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 refilling the trouble tire as leaks are dangerous - take it to an Authorized Mazda Dealer which has all the equipment to fix tires, TPMS systems and order the best replacement tire for your vehicle. Warning light flashes When the warning light flashes, there may be a system malfunction. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. qSecurity Indicator Light l This indicator light starts flashing every 2 seconds when the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the ACC position and the immobilizer system is armed. The light stops flashing when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position with the correct ignition key. At this time, the immobilizer system is disarmed and the light illuminates for about 3 seconds and then goes out. If the engine doesn't start with the correct ignition key, and the security indicator light keeps illuminating or flashing, the system may have a malfunction. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer. If the warning light illuminates again even after the tire pressures are adjusted, there may be a tire puncture. Replace the punctured tire with the temporary spare tire (page 7-7). NOTE qHeadlight High-Beam Indicator Light A tire pressure sensor is not installed to the temporary spare tire. The warning light will flash continuously while the temporary spare tire is being used. This light indicates one of two things: l The high-beam headlights are on. 5-46 Form No.8V66-EA-06F

NOTE

After adjusting the tire air pressures,

it may require some time for the

TPMS warning light to go out. If the

TPMS warning light remains

illuminated, drive the vehicle at a

speed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph)

for 10 minutes, and then verify that it

goes out.

Tires can loose a little air quite

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 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

refilling the trouble tire as leaks are

dangerous - take it to an Authorized

Mazda Dealer which has all the

equipment to fix tires, TPMS

systems and order the best

replacement tire for your vehicle.

If the warning light illuminates again even

after the tire pressures are adjusted, there

may be a tire puncture. Replace the

punctured tire with the temporary spare

tire (page 7-7).

NOTE

A tire pressure sensor is not installed to

the temporary spare tire. The warning

light will flash continuously while the

temporary spare tire is being used.

Warning light flashes

When the warning light flashes, there may

be a system malfunction. Consult an

Authorized Mazda Dealer.

immobilizer system is armed.

The light stops flashing when the ignition

switch is turned to the ON position with

At this time, the immobilizer system is

disarmed and the light illuminates for

about 3 seconds and then goes out.

If the engine doesn't start with the correct

ignition key, and the security indicator

light keeps illuminating or flashing, the

system may have a malfunction. Consult

an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
