Mazda 3 Hatchback 2023 Instrument Cluster Display User Manual

Introduction

A cutting-edge and user-friendly instrument cluster display is included with the Mazda 3 Hatchback 2023, which improves the driving experience. The instrument cluster, which is an important part of the dashboard of the car, gives the driver crucial information in an understandable and accessible style. In order to keep the driver informed and involved on the road, Mazda has developed the instrument cluster display in the 2023 Mazda 3 Hatchback to be aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly. The Mazda 3 Hatchback 2023 has a digital panel for the instrument cluster display that is placed behind the driver’s line of sight. It has a high-resolution color screen that displays data on the temperature, fuel level, engine RPM, and vehicle speed, enabling the driver to quickly assess the performance of the car.

The instrument cluster display’s ability to be customized is one noteworthy feature. The information that appears on the screen can be customized by drivers to suit their interests and priorities. This implies that consumers have the option to prioritize other pieces of information over the speedometer, such as navigational instructions or safety alarms. Drivers can customize the information on the instrument cluster display to better suit their demands and improve their overall driving experience.

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 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 can be reset by pressing the TRIP switch for 1.5 seconds or more while the trip meter is displayed.

NOTE
Only the trip meters record tenths of kilometers (miles).

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. 

NOTE
If the engine or engine coolant temperature is high or low, the engine output may be restricted to protect the engine.

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.

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 (Without auto-light control)
When the lights are turned on with the ignition switched ON, the brightness of the dashboard illumination is dimmed.(With auto-light control) 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
 (With auto-light control) 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 panel and dashboard illuminations can be adjusted by pressing the dashboard illumination switch while the dashboard 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 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.

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. When the remaining distance-to-empty is 50 km (30 miles) or farther, the remaining distance-to-empty indication decreases in 10 km (10 mile) increments, and when the remaining distance-to-empty is 50 km (30 miles) or shorter, it decreases in 1 km (1 mile) increments. NOTE

• 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. When the remaining distance-to-empty is 50 km (30 miles) or farther, the remaining distance-to-empty indication decreases in 10 km (10 mile) increments, and when the remaining distance-to-empty is 50 km (30 miles) or shorter, it decreases in 1 km (1 mile) increments.

NOTE

• 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
This mode displays the average fuel economy by calculating the total traveled 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 30 seconds. The average fuel economy is also displayed by a red arrow in the instantaneous fuel economy display. The average fuel economy can be reset by pressing the INFO switch for 1.5 seconds or more. After the data is cleared, the fuel consumption is recalculated and the – – – L/100 km (- – – mpg) for the 30 seconds 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.

M Hybrid Except M Hybrid NOTE

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

Deceleration Regeneration Charge Display (M Hybrid)
