Mazda 3 Owners Manual: Checking Tire Pressure
- When you check the air pressure, make sure the tires are cold —meaning they are not hot from driving even a mile.
- Remove the cap from the valve on one tire.
- Firmly press a tire gauge onto the valve.
- Add air to achieve recommended air pressure.
- If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem
in the center of the valve.
Then recheck the pressure with your tire gauge.
- Replace the valve cap.
- Repeat with each tire, including the spare.
NOTE Some spare tires require higher inflation pressure.
- Visually inspect the tires to make sure there are no nails or other objects embedded that could poke a hole in the tire and cause an air leak.
- Check the sidewalls to make sure there are no gouges, cuts, bulges, cracks or other irregularities.
