Engine oil pressure gauge:
Indicates engine oil pressure. At
normal operating temperature, the
needle will be in the normal range
(the area between the ªLº and ªHº);
if the needle goes below the
normal range, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible and
switch off the engine
immediately.Check the oil level.
Add oil if needed (refer toEngine oilin theMaintenance and
Specificationschapter). If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle
checked by your authorized Mazda dealership.
Fuel gauge:Displays approximately
how much fuel is in the fuel tank.
The fuel gauge may vary slightly
when the vehicle is in motion or on
a grade.
When refueling the vehicle from
empty indication, the amount of fuel
that can be added will be less than
the advertised capacity due to the reserve fuel.
NOTE:The FUEL DOOR icon and arrow indicates which side of the
vehicle the fuel filler door is located.
