2020 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 coolant

and the red range of the gauge indicates
that the engine coolant temperature is high
and overheating.

CAUTION
If the engine coolant temperature gauge
needle (white) flashes, there is a possibility
of overheating. Drive slowly to reduce
engine load until you can find a safe place
to stop the vehicle and wait for the engine
to cool down.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-18.
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)
If the engine coolant temperature is high
or the engine is hot, the engine output
may be limited.
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).
▼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.

Full
1/4 Full
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 Taking Action on page 7-33.
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.

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.
Average fuel economy mode

Diesel Particulate Filter(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
The diesel particulate filter collects and
removes most of the particulate matter
(PM) in the exhaust gas of a diesel engine.
PM collected by the diesel particulate
filter is cleared during normal driving,
however, PM may not be removed and the
diesel particulate filter indicator light may
illuminate under the following conditions:
If the vehicle is driven at 15 km/h (9
mph) or less continuously.
If the vehicle is repeatedly driven for a
short period of time (10 minute or less)
or driven while the engine is cold.
If the vehicle is idled for a long time.
When “DPF Clogged” is indicated
The particulate matter (PM) cannot be
removed automatically and the amount of
collected PM reaches a specified amount.
After the engine has sufficiently warmed
up (engine coolant temperature of 80 °C
(176 °F) or more), depress the accelerator
pedal and drive the vehicle at a speed of
20 km/h (12 mph) or more for about 15 to
20 minutes to eliminate the PM.
When “DPF malfunctio n” is indicated
Contact an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
CAUTION
If the vehicle continues to be driven with
“DPF Clogged” indicated in the display, the
particulate matter (PM) increases and the
indication may change to “DPF
malfunction”. If the indication changes to
“DPF malfunction”, have the vehicle
inspected immediatel y at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer. If the vehicle is not
inspected and continues to be driven, the
engine may malfunction.
NOTE
When “DPF malfunction” is indicated
in the display, the engine output is
restricted to protect the diesel
particulate filter.
The engine sound and exhaust gas smell
may change when PM is being removed
while driving.
