NOTE
 


 After refueling, it may require some
time for the indicator to stabilize. In
addition, the indicator may deviate
while driving on a slope or curve since
the fuel moves in the tank.
 


 The display indicating a quarter or less
remaining fuel has more segments to
show the remaining fuel level in greater
detail.
 


 The direction of the arrow ( ) indicates
that the fuel-fi ller lid is on the left side
of the vehicle.

Dashboard Illumination
(Without auto-light control)
When the position lights are turned
on with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard illumination is
dimmed.
(With auto-light control)
When the position lights are turned
on with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard illumination
is dimmed. However, when the light
sensor detects that the surrounding area is
bright such as when the position lights are
turned on in the daytime, the dashboard
illumination does not dim.
NOTE
 

 (With auto-light control) 
 When the ignition is switched ON in the
early evening or at dusk, the dashboard
illumination is dimmed for several
seconds until the light sensor detects
the brightness of the surrounding area,
however, the dimmer may cancel after
the brightness is detected.
 

 When the position lights are turned on,
the position lights indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
 Refer to Headlights on page 4-48 .

The brightness of the instrument cluster
and dashboard illuminations can be
adjusted by rotating the knob.




 The brightness decreases by rotating the
knob to the left. A beep sound will be
heard when the knob has been rotated to
the maximum dim position.
 


 The brightness increases by rotating the
knob to the right.

Function for cancelling illumination
dimmer
The illumination dimmer can be canceled
by rotating the dashboard illumination
knob to the right until a beep sound is
heard while the instrument cluster is
dimmed with the ignition switched ON.
If the instrument cluster's visibility is
reduced due to glare from surrounding
brightness, cancel the illumination
dimmer.
NOTE
  (With Multi-information Display)
The illumination dimmer can be
canceled by pressing the dashboard
illumination knob.
 


 When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the position lights are
turned on.
 


 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.



NOTE


 Signifi cantly cold or hot temperatures.



 Sudden changes in outside temperature.




switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
Settings can be changed by operating the
center display screen.
Refer to Personalization Features on page
9-11 .
NOTE
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.

Trip Computer and INFO Switch
(Without Multi-information
Display)
The following information can be selected
by pressing the INFO switch with the
ignition switched ON.

 Current fuel economy mode



 Compass mode
If you have any problems with your trip
computer, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.
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
refueling 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
cables 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 traveled
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.



To clear the data being displayed, press the
INFO switch for more than 1.5 seconds.
After pressing the INFO switch, - - - L/100
km (- - - mpg) will be displayed for about
1 minute before the fuel economy is
recalculated and displayed.

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 .

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

Fuel Gauge
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.

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 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 or apply stickers to the dust-proof
sheet/optical receiver 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.
NOTE

 Wearing polarized sunglasses will reduce the visibility of the active driving display due to
the characteristics of the display.
 


 If the battery has been removed and re-installed or the battery voltage is low, the adjusted
position may deviate.
 

