Mazda CX-3: Tire Pressure Monitoring System / System Error Activation
When the warning light flashes, there may
be a system malfunction. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
A system error activation may occur in the
following cases:
- When there is equipment or a device
near the vehicle using the same radio
frequency as that of the tire pressure
sensors.
- When a metallic device such as a
non-genuine navigation system is
equipped near the center of the
dashboard, which may block radio
signals from the tire pressure sensor to
the receiver unit.
- When using the following devices in the
vehicle that may cause radio
interference with the receiver unit.
- A digital device such as a personal
computer.
- A current converter device such as a
DC-AC converter.
- When excess snow or ice adheres to the
vehicle, especially around the wheels.
- When the tire pressure sensor batteries
are exhausted.
- When using a wheel with no tire
pressure sensor installed.
- When using tires with steel wire
reinforcement in the sidewalls.
- When using tire chains.
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure for each
tire.
If tire pressure is too low in one or more tires, the system will inform the
driver via the
warning light in the instrument cluster and by the warning beep sound...
CAUTION
When inspecting or adjusting the tire air
pressures, do not apply excessive force to
the stem part of the wheel unit. The stem
part could be damaged...
Other information:
Audio can be heard from the vehicle's
speakers by connecting a
commercially-available portable audio
unit to the auxiliary jack.
A commercially-available, non-impedance
stereo mini plug cable is required.
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer for

Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to wear
abnormally. Here are
some important maintenance points:

Inspect all tire pressure monthly (including the spare) when the tires are
cold. Maintain
recommended pressures for the best ride, top handling, and minimum tire wear...
