NOTE
•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
4-77.
•Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (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).
▼Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in
thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).
CAUTION
Do not run the engine with the tachometer
needle in the RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine damage.

STRIPED
ZONE
RED ZONE
NOTE
When the tachometer needle enters the
STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the
driver that the gears should be shifted
before entering the RED ZONE.

▼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 flashes, 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 7-25.
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 (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 warnin g light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-38 .
NOTE
•After refueling, it may require some time
for the indicator to st abilize. 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 fu el level in greater
detail.
•The direction of the arrow () indicates
that the fuel-filler 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 dash
board illumination is
dimmed.
(With auto-light control)
When the position lights are turned on
with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dash board 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.

Changing the Temperature Unit of the
Outside Temperature Display
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.
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.
▼ Cruise Control Set Vehicle Speed
Display (Without Multi-information
Display)
The vehicle speed preset using the cruise
control is displayed.

▼Trip Computer and INFO Switch
(Without Multi-information
Display)
The following inform
ation can be selected
by pressing the INFO switch with the
ignition switched ON.
•Distance-to-empty mode
•Average fuel economy mode
•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 sufficient 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 first
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.

Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Tr i p m e t e r
The driving distance for a specified
interval is indicated . Two types (TRIP A,
TRIP B) of interva l distance and the
average fuel economy for each can be
measured.

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 filled.

When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A
will be displayed. Wh en trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter and average fuel economy
can be reset by pressi ng the INFO switch
for 1.5 second or more while in each
mode.
NOTE
•Only the trip meters record tenths of
kilometers (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).
