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).

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.
