Instrument Cluster and Display
Instrument Cluster (Type C)
Speedometer
Tachometer
The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Do not run the engine with the tachometer needle in the RED ZONE.
This may cause severe engine damage.
When the tachometer needle enters the STRIPED ZONE, this indicates to the driver that the gears should be shifted before entering the RED ZONE.
Multi-information Display (Type C)
The multi-information display indicates the following information.
-
Odometer
-
Trip meter
-
Engine coolant temperature gauge
-
Fuel gauge
-
Outside temperature
-
Trip Computer
-
Vehicle Speed Alarm
-
Adjustable Speed Limiter (ASL) Display
-
Cruise Control Display
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.
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 filled.
When trip meter A is selected, pressing the selector again within 1 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 1 second or more. Use this meter to measure trip distances and to compute fuel consumption.
-
(Vehicles with type B audio)
If TRIP A is reset using the trip meter when the function which synchronizes (resets) the fuel economy monitor and the trip meter (TRIP A) is on, the fuel economy data resets in conjunction with TRIP A.
Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor (Search).
-
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).
-
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.
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 (Search).
-
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-filler flap is on the left side of the vehicle.
Instrument Panel Illumination
(Without auto-light control)
When the lights are turned on with the ignition switched ON, the brightness of the instrument panel illumination is dimmed.
(With auto-light control)
When the lights are turned on with the ignition switched ON, the brightness of the instrument panel 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 instrument panel illumination does not dim.
-
(With auto-light control)
When the ignition is switched ON in the early evening or at dusk, the instrument panel 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 (Search).
The brightness of the instrument cluster 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 instrument panel 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.
-
When the illumination dimmer is cancelled, the instrument cluster cannot be dimmed even if the lights are turned on.
-
When the illumination dimmer is cancelled, the screen in the centre display switches to constant display of the daytime screen.
Trip Computer
The following information 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
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.
(European model)
(Except European model)
-
Even though the distance-to-empty display may indicate a sufficient 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.
-
If there is no past fuel economy information such as after first purchasing your vehicle or the information is deleted when the battery leads 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 travelled distance and the total fuel consumption since the vehicle was purchased or the past data was reset. The average fuel economy is calculated and displayed every minute.
(European model)
(Except European model)
To reset the displayed past data, press the INFO switch for 1.5 seconds or longer.
(Vehicles with type B audio)
If TRIP A is reset using the trip meter when the function which synchronizes (resets) the fuel economy monitor and the trip meter (TRIP A) is on, the displayed past data is reset.
After resetting the data, - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) or - - - km/L is displayed for one minute before the fuel economy is recalculated and displayed.
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.
(European model)
(Except European model)
When you've slowed to about 5 km/h (3 mph), - - - L/100 km (- - - mpg) or - - - km/L will be displayed.
Vehicle Speed Alarm
In this mode, the current setting for the vehicle speed alarm is displayed. You can change the vehicle speed setting at which the warning is triggered.
The vehicle speed alarm display is activated at the same time the beep sound is heard.
The vehicle speed alarm can be set using the centre display.
Always set the vehicle speed according to the laws and regulations of the country/city in which the vehicle is driven. In addition, always verify the speed of the vehicle using the speedometer.
