Turning the Engine Off
WA R N I N G
Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is
moving:
Stopping the engine while the vehicle is
moving for any reason other than in an
emergency is dangerous. Stopping the
engine while the vehicle is moving will
result in reduced braking ability due to the
loss of power braking, which could cause
an accident and serious injury.
1. Stop the vehicle completely.
2. Shift the selector lever to the Pposition and set the parking brake.
3. Press the push button start to turn off the engine. The ignition position is off.
CAUTION
When leaving the vehicle, make sure the
push button start is
off.
NOTE
The cooling fan in the engine
compartment could turn on for a few
minutes after the ignition is switched
from ON to OFF, whether or not the A/C
is on or off, to cool the engine
compartment quickly.
If the system detects that the remaining
battery power of the key is low when the
ignition is switched from ON to ACC or
OFF, the following is indicated.
Replace with a new battery before the
key becomes unusable.
Refer to Key Battery Replacement on
page 6-32.
(Vehicle equipped with Type A/B
instrument cluster)
A message is indicated in the display of
the instrument cluster.
(Vehicle equipped with Type C
instrument cluster)
The KEY indicator li ght (green) flashes
for approximately 30 seconds.
Refer to Taking Action on page 7-37.
If the engine is turned off while the
selector lever is in a position other than
P, the ignition switches to ACC.
▼ Emergency Engine Stop
Continuously pressing the push button
start or quickly pressing it any number of
times while the engine is running or the
vehicle is being driven will turn the engine
off immediately. The ignition switches to
ACC.

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 on page 7-23.
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.

Full
1/4 Full
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 Taking Action on page 7-37.
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 tu
rned 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 on page 4-70.

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.
DimBright
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 dashboard illumination
knob, the speed unit
s in the instrument
cluster will change.

Dashboard illumination knob
▼ 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 Tempera ture Display
The outside temperature unit can be
switched between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
When Driving

CX-9_8JK1-EA-20G_Edition6_old 2021-12-8 9:30:44

Settings can be changed by operating the
center display screen.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda
Connect Owner's Manual.
NOTE
When the temperature unit indicated in the
outside temperature display is changed,
the temperature unit indicated in the
engine coolant gauge display changes in
conjunction with it.
▼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.
