Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle.

NOTE

(Analog speed meter type) If a few seconds have elapsed after switching the ignition off, the needle may deviate. However, this does not indicate a problem.

Speed Unit Selector (Digital Speed Meter Type) *

In some countries, you may have to change the speed units between km/h and mph.

Press the speed unit selector for 1.5 seconds or more.

The speed units for the speedometer will change between km/h and mph.

Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector

The display mode can be changed from odometer to trip meter A to trip meter B and then back to odometer by pressing the selector while one of them is displayed.

The selected mode will be displayed.

Analog Speed Meter Type (Type C) instrument cluster

NOTE

When the ignition is switched to ACC or off, the odometer or trip meters cannot be displayed, however, pressing the selector can inadvertently switch the trip meters or reset them during an approximate ten-minute period in the following cases:

• After the ignition is switched to off from ON.
• After the driver's door is opened.

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 fi 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.

NOTE

• (Vehicles with type C/type D 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 4-89 .

• Only the trip meters record tenths of kilometres (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).

Odometer, Trip Meter, Trip Computer and Trip Meter Selector

Trip Computer

The following information can be selected by pressing the selector with the ignition switched ON.

• Approximate distance you can travel on the available fuel
• Current fuel economy

If you have any problems with your trip computer, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

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 refuelling 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.

Current fuel economy mode

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

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.

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.

Type A

Type B

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.

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.

Digital speed meter type/Type A instrument cluster/Type B instrument cluster

Type C instrument cluster

If the low fuel warning light illuminates or the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as possible.

Refer to Warning/Indicator Lights on page 4-37 .

NOTE

• After refuelling, 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 fl ap is on the left side of the vehicle.

(SKYACTIV-D 1.5)

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.

Instrument panel Illumination

When the light switch is turned to the
or position with the ignition
switched ON, the brightness of instrument panel illumination is dimmed.

The brightness of the instrument panel and instrument panel 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 cancelled by rotating the knob to the right until a beep sound is heard while the light switch is in the or
position with the
ignition switched ON. If the instrument cluster's visibility is reduced due to glare from surrounding brightness, cancel the illumination dimmer.

NOTE

• When the illumination dimmer is cancelled, the instrument cluster cannot be dimmed even if the light switch is turned to the or
  
  position.
• When the illumination dimmer is cancelled, the screen in the centre display switches to constant display of the daytime screen.

Outside Temperature 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:

• Signifi cantly cold or hot temperatures.
• Sudden changes in outside temperature.
• The vehicle is parked.
• The vehicle is driven at low speeds.

Cruise Control Set Vehicle Speed Display*

The vehicle speed preset using the cruise control is displayed.

Trip Computer and INFO Switch

The following information can be selected by pressing the up  or down
part of the
INFO switch with the ignition switched ON.

• Approximate distance you can travel on the available fuel
• Average fuel economy
• Current fuel economy
• Average vehicle speed
• Vehicle speed alarm *

If you have any problems with your trip computer, consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

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.

(European model)

(Except European model)

NOTE

• Even though the distance-to-empty display may indicate a suffi cient amount of remaining driving distance before refuelling 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.

Average fuel economy mode

This mode displays the average fuel economy by calculating the total fuel consumption and the total travelled distance since purchasing the vehicle, reconnecting the battery after disconnection, or resetting the data. The average fuel economy is calculated and displayed every minute.

(European model)

(Except European model)

To clear the data being displayed, press the INFO button for more than 1.5 seconds.

After pressing the INFO button, - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be displayed for about 1 minute before the fuel economy is recalculated and displayed.
