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.
1. STRIPED ZONE*1
2. RED ZONE*1
*1 The range varies depending on the type of gauge.

You can switch between the odometer and
trip meter display usi
ng the TRIP switch.

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 TRIP switch
for 1.5 seconds 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).

▼Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The blue range of the gauge indicates that
the engine coolant temperature is low, and
the red range of the gauge indicates that
the engine coolant temperature is high and
overheating.
CAUTION
When the engine coolant temperature
gauge needle is in the red range, the engine
coolant temperature is extremely high.
Drive slowly to reduce engine load. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge needle
is in the red range, there is the possibility of
overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe
place immediately and take appropriate
measures.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-21.
NOTE
If the engine or engine coolant
temperature is high or low, the engine
output may be restricted to protect the
engine.
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).
▼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.
1. Full
2. 1/4 Full
3. Empty

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
If inconsistency in engine performance or
stalling occurs due to low fuel level
conditions, refuel the vehicle as soon as
possible and add at least 10 L (2.7 US gal,
2.2 Imp gal) of fuel.
Refer to Low Fuel Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-34.
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 direction of the arrow ()
indicates that the fuel -filler lid is on the
left side of the vehicle.
▼ Dashboard Illumination
When the 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 lights are turned on in the
daytime, the dashboard illumination does
not dim.
NOTE
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 dimming may cancel after
the brightness is detected.
When the lights are turned on, the
lights-on indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-44.
The brightness of the instrument panel and
dashboard illuminations can be adjusted
by pressing the dashboard illumination
switch while the dashbo ard illumination is
dimmed.
The brightness increases by pressing the
+ switch.
The brightness decreases by pressing
the - switch. If you press the - switch
while the instrument cluster is at
maximum dimness, a sound is activated
to notify you that the current dimmer
setting is at maximum dimness.
1. Bright
2. Dim

Function for canceling illumination
dimmer
The illumination dimmer can be canceled
by pressing the + switch while the
instrument cluster is at maximum dimness
and while the ignition is switched ON. If
you press the + switch again while the
illumination dimmer is canceled, a sound
is activated to notify you that it is
canceled. If the instrument cluster's
visibility is reduced due to glare from
surrounding brightness, cancel the
illumination dimmer.
NOTE
When the illumina tion dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the lights are turned
on.
When the illumina tion dimmer is
canceled, the screen in the center
display switches to constant display of
the daytime screen.
▼ Outside Tempera
ture Display
When the ignition is switched ON, the
outside temperature is displayed.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
outside temperature display may differ
from the actual outside temperature
depending on the surroundings and
vehicle conditions:
Significantly cold or hot temperatures.
Sudden changes in outside
temperature.
The vehicle is parked.
The vehicle is driven at low speeds.
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 the Settings section in the Mazda
Connect Owner's Manual.
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.
