When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
Vehicle Roll Prevention Function (Automatic transaxle)
Vehicles with the i-stop function are equipped with a vehicle roll prevention function. This
function prevents the vehicle from rolling, such as when releasing the brake pedal while on
a slope under the following conditions:
 


 While engine idling is stopped (prevents the vehicle from rolling back)



 When the engine restarts after releasing the brake pedal (prevents the vehicle's sudden
movement due to vehicle creep), sudden movement of the vehicle is prevented by
controlling the brakes or the automatic transaxle.

When Driving
Start/Stop Engine
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the vehicle roll prevention function.
The vehicle roll prevention function is a supplementary function which operates for a
maximum of four seconds after releasing the brake pedal and accelerating the vehicle
from an engine idling stop condition. Over reliance on the system may result in an
unexpected accident if the vehicle were to suddenly accelerate. Before starting to drive
the vehicle, always confi rm the safety of the surroundings and operate the selector
lever, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal appropriately. Note that the vehicle may move
suddenly depending on the vehicle's load or if it is towing something.
Note that the vehicle may move suddenly after the vehicle roll prevention function is
released while the vehicle is under the following conditions:
The selector lever is in the N position.
If the selector lever is shifted to the N position and the brake pedal is released while
the i-stop function is operating, the brake force is gradually released. To accelerate the
vehicle, release the brake pedal after the engine restarts and shift the selector lever to a
position other than the N position.
NOTE
  When the vehicle is stopped on a steep grade, the vehicle roll prevention function does
not operate because engine idling is not stopped.
  The brake pedal response may change, sound may occur from the brakes, or the
brake pedal could vibrate from the operation of the vehicle roll prevention function.
However, this does not indicate a malfunction.

Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the
vehicle.
NOTE
(Analog speedometer type)
If a few seconds have elapsed after
switching the ignition off, the needle
may deviate. However, this does not
indicate a problem.
Speed Unit Selector (Digital
Speedometer Type) *
In some countries, you may have to
change the speed units between km/h and
mph.
Press the speed unit selector for 1.5
seconds or more.
The speed units for the speedometer will

When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
NOTE
When the ignition is switched to ACC
or off, the odometer or trip meters
cannot be displayed, however, pressing
the selector can inadvertently switch
the trip meters or reset them during an
approximate ten-minute period in the
following cases:
 
 After the ignition is switched to off
from ON.
  After the driver's door is opened.
Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter
The trip meter can record the total distance
of two trips. One is recorded in trip meter
A, and the other is recorded in trip meter
B.
For instance, trip meter A can record the
distance from the point of origin, and
trip meter B can record the distance from
where the fuel tank is fi lled.
When trip meter A is selected, pressing
the selector again within one second will
change to trip meter B mode.
When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. When trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed. The trip meter records the total distance
the vehicle is driven until the meter
is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by
depressing and holding the selector for
one second or more. Use this meter to
measure trip distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
NOTE
 (Vehicles with type C/type D audio) If the fuel economy data is reset
using the fuel economy monitor,
or trip A is reset using the trip
meter when the function which
synchronizes the fuel economy
monitor and the trip meter is on, the
fuel economy data and trip A are
reset simultaneously.
 Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on
page 4-88 .
  Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometres (miles).
  The trip record will be erased when:




 The power supply is interrupted
(blown fuse or the battery is
disconnected).
 


 The vehicle is driven over 9999.9
km (mile).

 Current fuel economy
If you have any problems with your trip
computer, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer. Distance-to-empty mode
This mode displays the approximate
distance you can travel on the remaining
fuel based on the fuel economy.
The distance-to-empty will be calculated
and displayed every second.
NOTE
  Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suffi cient
amount of remaining driving distance
before refuelling is required, refuel
as soon as possible if the fuel level
is very low or the low fuel warning
light illuminates.
  The display may not change unless
you add more than approximately 9 L
(2.3 US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
  The distance-to-empty is the
approximate remaining distance the
vehicle can be driven until all the
graduation marks in the fuel gauge
indicating the remaining fuel supply
disappear.
  If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after fi rst
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the
battery leads are disconnected, the
actual distance-to empty/range may
differ from the amount indicated.

Current fuel economy mode
This mode displays the current fuel
economy by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance travelled.
Current fuel economy will be calculated
and displayed every 2 seconds.
When you've slowed to about 5 km/h (3
mph), - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be
displayed.
