If the low fuel warning light illuminates or
the fuel level is very low, refuel as soon as
possible.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-32 .

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.



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 position lights are turned on
with the ignition switched ON, the
brightness of the dashboard illumination is
dimmed.
(With auto-light control)
When the position 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 position 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 dimmer may cancel after
the brightness is detected.



When the position lights are turned on,
the position lights indicator light in the
instrument cluster turns on.
Refer to Headlights on page 4-43.

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.

When the illumination dimmer is
canceled, the instrument cluster cannot
be dimmed even if the position 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



Average fuel economy mode



Current fuel economy mode



Average vehicle speed

If you have any problems with your trip
computer, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

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

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

To clear the data being displayed, press the
INFO switch for more than 1.5 seconds.
After pressing the INFO switch, - - -
L/100 km (- - - mpg) will be displayed for
about 1 minute before the fuel economy is
recalculated and displayed.

Manual Transaxle Shift

Pattern

Neutral position

The shift pattern of the transaxle is
conventional, as shown.

Depress the clutch pedal all the way down
while shifting; then release it slowly.

Your vehicle is equipped with a device to
prevent shifting to R (reverse) by mistake.
Push the shift lever downward and shift to
R.

WARNING

Do not use sudden engine braking on
slippery road surfaces or at high speeds:
Shifting down while driving on wet, snowy,
or frozen roads, or while driving at high
speeds causes sudden engine braking,
which is dangerous. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the tires to skid. This
could lead to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.

Always leave the shift lever in 1 or R
position and set the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle unattended:
Otherwise the vehicle could move and
cause an accident.

CAUTION

Keep your foot off the clutch pedal except

when shifting gears. Also, do not use the
clutch to hold the vehicle on an upgrade.
Riding the clutch will cause needless
clutch wear and damage.

Do not apply any excessive lateral force

to the shift lever when changing from 5th
to 4th gear. This could lead to the
accidental selection of 2nd gear, which
could result in damage to the transaxle.

Make sure the vehicle comes to a

complete stop before shifting to R.
Shifting to R while the vehicle is still
moving may damage the transaxle.

NOTE



(For vehicles with type C instrument
cluster

*1

)

If the engine speed is about to exceed
the permissible engine speed, the buzzer
sounds.
Refer to Over Rev. Buzzer on page 7-
41.

*

1 To determine which instrument

cluster is equipped on your Mazda,
Refer to Meters and Gauges on page
4-12.



If shifting to R is difficult, shift back into
neutral, release the clutch pedal, and try
again.

▼ Gear Shift Indicator (GSI)

*

The GSI supports you to obtain optimum
fuel economy and smooth driving. It
displays the selected gear position in the
instrument cluster as well as notifies the
driver to change to the most suitable gear
position corresponding to the actual
driving condition.

Selected gear position

Suitable gear position

Indication

Condition

Numeral

The selected gear position is dis-
played.

and numeral

Shift up or down to the indicated
gear position is recommended.

CAUTION

Do not rely solely on the shift-up/
shift-down recommendations by
indications. The actual driving situation
might require shift operations different
from indication. To avoid the risk of
accidents, the road and traffic conditions
have to be judged correctly by the driver
before shifting.

NOTE
The GSI turns off when the following
operations are performed.



The vehicle is stopped.



The vehicle is put in neutral.



The vehicle is driven in reverse.



The clutch is not fully engaged when
accelerating from a stop.



The clutch pedal remains depressed for
2 seconds or longer while driving.
