Mazda 3 Owners Manual: Tire Inflation Pressure
| WARNING
Always infl ate the tires to the correct
pressure:
Overinfl ation or underinfl ation of tires
is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a
serious accident. Refer to Tires on . Use only a Mazda-genuine tire valve cap: Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as the correct tire air pressure cannot be maintained if the tire valve becomes damaged. If the vehicle is driven under this condition, the tire air pressure will decrease which could result in a serious accident. Do not use any part for the tire valve cap that is not a Mazda-genuine part. |
Inspect all tire pressures monthly (including the spare) when the tires are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, handling, and minimum tire wear.
Refer to the specification charts .
(With tire pressure monitoring system)
After adjusting the tire pressure, initialization of the tire pressure monitoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on .
NOTE
- Always check tire pressure when tires are cold.
- Warm tires normally exceed recommended pressures. Do not release air from warm tires to adjust the pressure.
- Underinflation can cause reduced fuel economy, uneven and accelerated tire wear, and poor sealing of the tire bead, which will deform the wheel and cause separation of tire from rim.
- Overinflation can produce a harsh ride, uneven and accelerated tire wear, and a greater possibility of damage from road hazards.
- Keep your tire pressure at the correct levels. If one frequently needs inflating, have it inspected.
Tires
For reasons of proper performance, safety,
and better fuel economy, always maintain
recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits
and weight distribution.

Tire Rotation
WARNING
Rotate tires periodically:
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To
equalize tread wear for maintaining
good performance in handling and
braking, rotate the tires every 12,00 ...

TCM Inspection [FS5 A EL]
NOTE:
The TCM terminal voltage can vary with conditions when measuring and changes
due to age deterioration on the vehicle, causing false diagnosis. Therefore
a comprehensive inspection of the input and output systems, and the TCM is necessary
to determine where the malfunction occu ...
Light Bulbs
WARNING
Do not replace the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself:
Replacing the xenon fusion bulbs
yourself is dangerous. Because the
xenon fusion bulbs require high
voltage, you could receive an electric
shock if the bulbs are handled
incorrectly. Consult an Authorized
...
Air Bleeding
CAUTION:
If the strainer is removed, impurities may penetrate the power steering system
and damage it. To prevent this, always bleed air with the strainer installed.
Do not maintain the steering wheel fully turned for 5 s or more. The oil
temperature could rise and damage ...
