How to reset the tire pressure light on the Mazda3 Axela?

Method to reset the tire pressure light on the Mazda3 Axela: First, turn on the ignition switch, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing it. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. Precautions for inflating tires: Always use a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure to avoid overinflation, which can cause the tire to burst. After stopping the vehicle, wait for the tires to cool down before inflating, as the tire temperature rises during driving, affecting the pressure. Check the valve stem. If the valve stem and core are not properly aligned, have protrusions, depressions, or other defects, it may be difficult to inflate or measure the pressure. Pay attention to cleanliness when inflating. The air being pumped in should not contain moisture or oil to prevent deterioration and damage to the inner tube rubber. Do not exceed the standard pressure too much during inflation and then deflate, nor should you overinflate after being unable to inflate for a long time while traveling. Excessive pressure can cause the cords to overstretch, reducing their strength and affecting the tire's lifespan.
Last time I was driving the Mazda3, the tire pressure warning light came on and gave me a scare. I immediately pulled over to check the tires. I found the rear tire pressure was a bit low, so I inflated it to 2.3 bar and then had to reset the system. The in-car operation is quite simple: after starting the engine, press the menu button on the left side of the steering wheel, go to vehicle settings, find the TPMS option, and select reset. If you can't remember the steps, check the manual or Douyin videos—many people share tutorials nowadays. Note that unstable tire pressure not only increases fuel consumption but also raises the risk of a blowout. You should use a simple tire pressure gauge to self-check once a month. In winter, check more frequently because tire pressure drops faster in cold weather. If you don't address it promptly, the warning light will keep flashing, which is annoying. During regular maintenance, ask the mechanic to calibrate it. If the sensors are dirty or worn out, replace them to avoid issues on long trips.
I've been driving the Mazda3 for several years, and the tire pressure light has gone off multiple times. Usually, it's due to low tire pressure or false alarms. First, get out and measure all four tires with a tire pressure gauge, adjusting them to around 2.3 bar as stated in the manual—don’t overlook uneven road surfaces. To reset, use the dashboard button: after ignition, press the setup button below the left turn signal stalk a few times to enter the maintenance menu, then find the tire pressure reset option to complete the process. Practice makes perfect—I once failed to reset it because a fuse had blown and needed checking. Keep a small tool in the trunk for emergencies. Tire pressure affects handling, so check before highway driving to save fuel and stay safe. Pay extra attention during rain or snow, as incorrect tire pressure increases braking distance. After resetting, test on the highway to confirm the light stays off.
