How to Turn On the Tire Pressure Monitoring in the Mazda3 Axela?
2 Answers
The method to turn on the tire pressure monitoring in the Mazda3 Axela is: with the key turned on or in idle state, press and hold the set button in front of the gear shift lever. The dashboard indicator will light up once with a ding sound, indicating the system is activated. The Mazda3 Axela is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4662mm in length, 1797mm in width, 1445mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2726mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The Mazda3 Axela is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 86 kW and a maximum torque of 148 N·m. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade and know this very well. The Mazda3's tire pressure monitoring system comes as standard equipment and doesn't require manual activation—it automatically works as soon as the car starts. However, sometimes after changing tires or inflating them, the warning light may still be on, which requires resetting the system: first, park the car and turn off the engine, ensuring all four tires are inflated to the standard pressure (as indicated on the door frame label). Then, without starting the engine, just turn on the power, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the vehicle settings menu on the dashboard, find the tire pressure initialization option, and press the confirm button to wait for a few seconds. After completion, drive for a while to allow the system to recalibrate, and it should return to normal. Regularly checking tire pressure is crucial; incorrect pressure can increase fuel consumption or the risk of a blowout. Take some time each month to check your tires—it's both safe and cost-effective.
