1 Confirm your vehicle
For 2017 Mazda3 · US, SKYACTIV-G 2.0 / 2.5 gasoline. Confirm the original component against the cited manual.
Select and confirm your vehicle before starting.
Help identify your model and equipmentWhat is excluded?
- Other model years and markets; imported Axela or diesel models; modified or aftermarket components with a different procedure.

YOUR OBSERVATIONS
Keep the before and after.
Copy each real label target and cold gauge reading by wheel position, including any separate spare specification and initialization result.
At the next comparable cold check, does a tire need air again, and has the TPMS warning returned?
3 Follow the steps
Confirm compatibility and choose the readiness branch before recording steps.
4 Check the result
- What was verified after measuring / adjusting?
- Cold pressures match the vehicle label, caps secure; any required TPMS follow-up identified
- Record only the result you actually observed. A saved web checklist is not confirmation that a vehicle has been repaired.
- Were all road tires checked against the actual label, and was required initialization confirmed after adjustment?
- At the next comparable cold check, does a tire need air again, and has the TPMS warning returned?
Select what you actually observed. If you have only prepared the plan, record that instead.
Stop and get help if
- A tire is flat, damaged, repeatedly losing air or the label is unreadable
- Damage, recurring pressure loss or a missing specification: arrange tire inspection; do not drive on a flat tire.
