Instrument Cluster and Display
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.
(European model)


(Except European model)


NOTE
  Even though the distance-to-empty
display may indicate a suf¿ 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 ¿ 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.
Average fuel economy mode
This mode displays the average fuel
economy by calculating the total fuel
consumption and the total travelled
distance since purchasing the vehicle, re-
connecting the battery after disconnection,
or resetting the data. The average fuel
economy is calculated and displayed every
minute.
(European model)


(Except European model)

recalculated and displayed.

Vehicle speed alarm mode *
In this mode, the current setting for the
vehicle speed alarm is displayed. You can
change the vehicle speed setting at which
the warning is triggered.
NOTE
The vehicle speed alarm display is
activated at the same time the beep
sound is heard. The set vehicle speed
À ashes several times.


The vehicle speed alarm can be set using
the centre display.
NOTE
  Always set the vehicle speed
according to the laws and regulations
of the country/city in which the
vehicle is driven. In addition, always
verify the speed of the vehicle using
the speedometer.
  The vehicle speed alarm function can
be set between 30 and 250 km/h
(20 and 150 mph).

  It may be dif¿ cult to view the display when wearing polarized sunglasses. Take off
your polarized sunglasses or adjust the luminosity.
  If the battery has been removed and re-installed or the battery voltage is low, the
adjusted position may deviate.
  The display may be dif¿ cult to view or temporarily affected by weather conditions
such as rain, snow, light, and temperature.
  If the audio system is removed, the active driving display cannot be operated.
The active driving display indicates the following information:

Switches and Controls
Lighting Control
Headlights
Turn the headlight switch to turn the headlights, other exterior lights and instrument panel
illumination on or off.
When the lights are turned on, the lights-on indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.



NOTE
  To prevent discharging the battery, do not leave the lights on while the engine is off
unless safety requires them.
  Headlights do not blind drivers approaching in the opposite direction no matter
what side of the road you must drive your vehicle (left-hand or right-hand traf¿ c).
Therefore, it is not necessary to adjust the optical axis of the headlights when
switching temporarily to driving on the opposite side of the road (left-hand or right-
hand traf¿ c).

When Driving
i-ELOOP
*Some models.
i-ELOOP *
i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or use
engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy by the power
generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the rechargeable battery (capacitor
and battery). The stored electricity is used as power to charge the battery and the vehicle's
electrical devices.
 


 A variable voltage alternator is incorporated in the power generator which converts
the kinetic energy to electricity and can generate electricity ef¿ ciently according to the
vehicle conditions.
 


 A capacitor is used to store large amounts of electricity instantly which can be utilized
quickly.
 


 A DC-DC converter is incorporated which steps down the stored electricity to voltage
useable by the vehicle's electrical devices.

WARNING
Always check the surrounding area visually before making an actual lane change:
The system is only designed to assist you in checking for vehicles at your rear when
making a lane change. Due to certain limitations with the operation of this system,
the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning indicator light, the warning sound and the
warning screen indicator display may not activate or they might be delayed even though
a vehicle is in an adjacent driving lane. Always make it your responsibility as a driver to
check the rear.
NOTE
  The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) will operate when all of the following conditions
are met:
 


 The ignition is switched ON.



 The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch is pressed and the BSM OFF switch
indicator light is turned off.
 


 The vehicle speed is about 30 km/h (19 mph) or faster. 

 The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) will not operate under the following circumstances. 



 The vehicle speed falls below about 25 km/h (15 mph) even though the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch indicator light is turned off.
 


 The shift lever (manual transaxle)/selector lever (automatic transaxle) is shifted to
reverse (R) and the vehicle is reversing.


 In the following cases, the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF indicator light turns
on and operation of the system is stopped. If the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) OFF
indicator light remains illuminated, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorised Mazda
Repairer as soon as possible.
 


 Some problem with the system including the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
indicator lights is detected.
 


 A large deviation in the installation position of a radar sensor (rear) on the vehicle
has occurred.
 


 There is a large accumulation of snow or ice on the rear bumper near a radar sensor
(rear). Remove any snow, ice or mud on the rear bumper.
 


 Driving on snow-covered roads for long periods.



 The temperature near the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely hot due to driving
for long periods on slopes during the summer.
 


 The battery voltage has decreased.
