2016 MAZDA MODEL CX-9 engine coolant

3–53
Before Driving
Driving Tips
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper, À ares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to check
the following:
 


y Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
  Refer to Engine Coolant on page
6-29 .
 


y Inspect the battery and its cables. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
 


y Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-26 ).




y Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
 


y Use washer À uid made with antifreeze—
but do not use engine coolant antifreeze
for washer À uid (page 6-31 ).

N O T E




y Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windshield is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
 


y Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windshield.
 


y Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.
 


y Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely affected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake components. If
this situation occurs, drive the vehicle
slowly, releasing the accelerator pedal
and lightly applying the brakes several
times until the brake performance
returns to normal.

Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all four wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)
while driving with snow tires. InÀ ate snow
tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2 , 4.3 psi) more
than recommended on the tire pressure
label (driver's door frame), but never
more than the maximum cold-tire pressure
shown on the tires.

The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used all
year around. In some extreme climates you
may ¿ nd it necessary to replace them with
snow tires during the winter months to
further improve traction on snow and ice
covered roads.
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all four
wheels:
Using tires diff erent in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly aff ected and result in
an accident.

CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge (Without Multi-information
Display)
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The white gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.


CAUTION
If the engine coolant temperature
gauge indicator fl ashes, there is a
possibility of overheating. Park the
vehicle in a safe place immediately
and take appropriate measures. If the
vehicle continues to be driven, it could
cause damage to the engine.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-24 .

N O T E
 


y The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge
display changes in conjunction with
the temperature unit of the outside
temperature display.
  Refer to Personalization Features on
page 9-11 .
 


y During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100
°C (210 °F) or less, and the gauge
indicates a range lower than 100 °C
(210 °F).
 


y If the engine load increases and the
engine coolant temperature exceeds 100
°C (210 °F), the gauge indicates the
engine coolant temperature.

Fuel Gauge (Without Multi-
information Display)
The fuel gauge shows approximately
how much fuel is remaining in the tank
when the ignition is switched ON. We
recommend keeping the tank over 1/4 full.


Full
1/4 Full
Empty

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.

reduced due to glare from surrounding
brightness, cancel the illumination
dimmer.
N O T E
 y (With Multi-information Display)
The illumination dimmer can be
canceled by pressing the dashboard
illumination knob.
 


y When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the position lights are
turned on.
 


y When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the screen in the center
display switches to constant display of
the daytime screen.

Outside Temperature Display
(Without Multi-information
Display)
When the ignition is switched ON, the
outside temperature is displayed.



N O T E
Under the following conditions, the
outside temperature display may differ
from the actual outside temperature
depending on the surroundings and vehicle
conditions:
 


y Signi¿ cantly cold or hot temperatures.



y Sudden changes in outside temperature.



y The vehicle is parked.



y The vehicle is driven at low speeds.

Changing the Temperature Unit of the

The outside temperature unit can be
switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Settings can be changed by operating the
center display screen.
Refer to Personalization Features on page
9-11 .
N O T E
When the temperature unit indicated in the
outside temperature display is changed,
the temperature unit indicated in the
engine coolant gauge display changes in
conjunction with it.

Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The blue gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.


CAUTION
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light (red) turns on, there is
a possibility of overheating. Park the
vehicle in a safe place immediately
and take appropriate measures. If the
vehicle continues to be driven, it could
cause damage to the engine.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-24 .

Distance-to-empty
This 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.



N O T E
 y Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suf¿ cient amount
of remaining driving distance before
refueling is required, refuel as soon as
possible if the fuel level is very low or
the low fuel warning light illuminates.
 


y The display will not change unless you
add more than approximately 9 L (2.3
US gal, 1.9 Imp gal) of fuel.
 


y 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.
 


y If there is no past fuel economy
information such as after ¿ rst
purchasing your vehicle or the
information is deleted when the battery
cables are disconnected, the actual
distance-to empty/range may differ from
the amount indicated.
