When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
Active Driving Display *
Optical receiver Mirror Combiner
WARNING
Always adjust the display brightness and position with the vehicle stopped:
Adjusting the display brightness and position while driving the vehicle is dangerous as
doing so could distract your attention from the road ahead and lead to an accident.
CAUTION
  Do not try to adjust the angle or open/close the active driving display manually.
Fingerprints on the display will make it diffi cult to view and using excessive force
when operating it could cause damage.
  Do not place objects in the vicinity of the active driving display. The active driving
display may not operate or any interference with its operation could cause damage.
  Do not place beverages near the active driving display. If water or other liquids are
splashed on the active driving display, it could cause damage.
  Do not place objects above the active driving display screen or apply stickers to the
combiner as they will cause interference.
  A sensor is integrated to control the display's luminosity. If the optical receiver is
covered, the display's luminosity will lower making the display diffi cult to view.

 Do not allow intense light to hit the optical receiver. Otherwise, it could cause damage.

When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
Wrench Indicator Light *
When the ignition is switched ON, the
warning light is illuminated and then turns
off after a few seconds.
When illuminated
The wrench indicator light is illuminated
when the preset maintenance period
arrives. Verify the content and perform
maintenance.
Refer to Maintenance Monitor on page
6-15 .
When fl ashing (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The sedimentor separates water from the
fuel.
If water accumulates in this fi lter, the

consult an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as
possible.
Low Engine Coolant Temperature
Indicator Light (Blue)
The light illuminates continuously when
the engine coolant temperature is low and
turns off after the engine is warm.
If the low engine coolant temperature
indicator light remains illuminated after
the engine has been suffi ciently warmed
up, the temperature sensor could have a
malfunction. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
Glow Indicator Light
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
This light may illuminate when the
ignition is switched ON.
It turns off when the glow plugs are warm.
If the ignition is left switched ON for a
long period of time without the engine
running after the glow plugs are warmed
up, the glow plugs may warm up again
which will illuminate the glow indicator
light.

When Driving
Switches and Controls
*1 The headlight and other light settings switch automatically depending on the surrounding brightness detected by
the sensor.
*2 It turns on while driving the vehicle.
*3 While the lights are turned on, they will remain on even if the ignition is switched to a position other than ON.
If the driver's door is opened or 30 s have elapsed with the lights turned on, the lights turn off.
*4 When the ignition is switched to a position other than ON, the lights will not turn on even if the light switch is
switched to
.
*5 If the driver's door is opened or 30 s have elapsed with the lights turned on, the lights turn off.
Auto-light control
When the headlight switch is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON, the light
sensor senses the surrounding lightness or darkness and automatically turns the headlights,
other exterior lights and instrument panel illumination on or off (see chart above).
CAUTION
  Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windscreen.
Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.

  The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep hands and
scrapers clear of the windscreen when the wiper lever is in the
position and the
ignition is switched ON as fi ngers could be pinched or the wipers and wiper blades
damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are going to clean the
windscreen, be sure the wipers are turned off completely — this is particularly
important when clearing ice and snow — when it is particularly tempting to leave the
engine running.

*Some models.4–66
When Driving
Switches and Controls
NOTE

 The headlights, other exterior lights and instrument panel illumination may not turn
off immediately even if the surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor
determines that it is night time if the surrounding area is continuously dark for several
minutes such as inside long tunnels, traffi c jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking
lots.
 In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the position.
  When the headlight switch is in the position and the ignition is switched to ACC
or the ignition is switched off, the headlights, other exterior lights and instrument panel
illumination will turn off.
  The instrument panel illumination can be adjusted by rotating the knob in the
instrument cluster. Also, the antidazzle mode can be changed by rotating the knob until
a beep sound is heard. To adjust the brightness of the instrument panel illumination:
Refer to Instrument panel Illumination on page 4-28 .

 The sensitivity of the AUTO lights may be changed by an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Refer to Personalisation Features on page 9-16 .
Xenon fusion headlight bulbs
*
The low-beam bulbs of the headlights have xenon fusion bulbs that produce a bright white
beam over a wide area.
WARNING
Do not replace the xenon fusion bulbs yourself
Replacing the xenon fusion bulbs yourself is dangerous. Because the xenon fusion
bulbs require high voltage, you could receive an electric shock if the bulbs are handled
incorrectly. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer
when the replacement is necessary.
NOTE
If the headlights fl icker, or the brightness weakens, the bulb-life may be depleted and a
replacement is necessary. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
