Before driving, make sure which type of tyre is equipped on your Mazda. If you cannot identify your tyre type, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Have the tyres checked or perform the appropriate repair as soon as possible by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer:

When the flat tyre warning light illuminates or the tyre pressure warning beep sound is heard, it is dangerous to drive the vehicle at high speeds, or perform sudden manoeuvring or braking. Vehicle drivability could worsen and result in an accident.

When the flat tyre warning light illuminates or the tyre pressure warning beep sound is heard, decrease vehicle speed immediately and avoid sudden manoeuvring and braking.

Close Warning

If a run-flat tyre is punctured, the FLAT TIRE warning light illuminates in the instrument cluster, and a beep sound is heard for about 30 seconds.

 

Until the flat tyre is changed, the beep sound is heard for about 30 seconds every time the ignition is switched ON.

Close Note

Vehicles with run-flat tyres can be driven even with a punctured tyre under the following conditions.

Maximum vehicle speed with a punctured run-flat tyre: 80 km/h (49 mph)

Maximum driving distance with a punctured run-flat tyre: 80 km (49 miles)

 

The maximum driving distance may be shorter depending on the driving conditions.

Close Caution

If a run-flat tyre is punctured, carefully drive the vehicle to the nearest Mazda Repairer and have the tyre changed.

 

  • A spare tyre or emergency flat tyre repair kit is not equipped on vehicles with run-flat tyres as standard.

  • Replacing a punctured run-flat tyre with a new run-flat tyre is recommended.

  • Do not use run-flat tyres and conventional tyres on the same vehicle.
