Driving Tips
Break-In Period
No special break-in is necessary, but a
few precautions in the ¿ rst 1,000 km
(600 miles) may add to the performance,
economy, and life of the vehicle.
 


y Do not race the engine.



y Do not maintain one constant speed,
either slow or fast, for a long period of
time.
 


y Do not drive constantly at full-throttle or
high engine rpm for extended periods of
time.
 


y Avoid unnecessary hard stops.



y Avoid full-throttle starts.
Saving Fuel and
Protection of the
Environment
How you operate your Mazda determines
how far it will travel on a tank of fuel. Use
these suggestions to help save fuel and
reduce CO2.
 


y Avoid long warm-ups. Once the engine
runs smoothly, begin driving.
 


y Avoid fast starts.



y Drive at lower speeds.



y Anticipate when to apply the brakes
(avoid sudden braking).
 


y Follow the maintenance schedule
(page 6-4 ) and have an Authorized
Mazda Dealer perform inspections and
servicing.
 


y Use the air conditioner only when
necessary.
 


y Slow down on rough roads.



y Keep the tires properly inÀ ated.



y Do not carry unnecessary weight.



y Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
 


y Keep the wheels in correct alignment.



y Keep windows closed at high speeds.



y Slow down when driving in crosswinds
and headwinds.

WARNING
Never stop the engine when going down
a hill:
Stopping the engine when going
down a hill is dangerous. This causes
the loss of power steering and power
brake control, and may cause damage
to the drivetrain. Any loss of steering
or braking control could cause an
accident.

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 ¿ 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. N O T E
 


y (Vehicles with type B 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
4-62 .
 


y Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (miles).
 


y The trip record will be erased when: 



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

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.


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 may 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.

Current fuel economy mode
This mode displays the current fuel
economy by calculating the amount of fuel
consumption and the distance traveled.
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.
