Speedometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle.

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.

*1 The range varies depending on the type of gauge

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.

The screen content changes each time the selector knob is pressed and held.

Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector

The odometer is constantly displayed on the screen when the ignition is switched ON, and the TRIP A or TRIP B screen can be displayed by operating the INFO switch.

Odometer
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.

Trip meter
The driving distance for a specified interval is indicated. Two types (TRIP A, TRIP B) of interval 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. When trip meter B is selected, TRIP B will be displayed.
The trip meter and average fuel economy can be reset by pressing the INFO 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
If the engine coolant temperature gauge needle is in the red range, there is the 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

NOTE

• If the engine coolant temperature is high or the engine is hot, the engine output may be limited.

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.

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

The brightness of the instrument cluster and dashboard 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 canceling illumination dimmer

The illumination dimmer can be canceled by rotating the dashboard 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.

NOTE

• When the illumination dimmer is canceled, the instrument cluster cannot be dimmed even if the lights are turned on.
• When the illumination dimmer is canceled, the screen in the center display switches to constant display of the daytime screen.

Speed Unit Selector
In some countries, you may have to change the speed units between km/h and mph.
When pressing the selector knob, the speed units in the instrument cluster will change.

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:
• 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.

Distance-to-empty
This 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 will 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
The average fuel economy is calculated every minute from the total traveled distance on the trip meter and the total fuel consumption, and the average fuel economy for either TRIP A or TRIP B is displayed.

The average fuel economy and trip meters can be reset by pressing the INFO switch for 1.5 seconds or more while in each mode. After the data is cleared, the fuel consumption is recalculated and the – – -km/L (- – – mpg) for the 1 minute prior to it being displayed is indicated.

Current Fuel Economy
This displays the current fuel economy by calculating the amount of fuel consumption and the distance traveled.

NOTE

• Indicates the 0 position when the vehicle speed is about 5 km/h (3 mph) or slower.
• The red arrow on the scale indicates the average fuel economy.

Maintenance Monitor
The following maintenance period notifications can be displayed by turning the Maintenance Monitor on.

• Scheduled Maintenance
• Tire Rotation
• Oil Change

When the remaining days to the maintenance period is 15 days or less, or the remaining distance is 1,000 km (600 miles) or shorter, a message is indicated when the ignition is switched ON.

For the setting method and indications for the maintenance monitor, refer to the Maintenance Monitor.
Refer to the Applications (Mazda Connect (Type A))/Information (Mazda Connect (Type B)) section in the Mazda Connect Owner’s Manual.
