Have your vehicle inspected at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as
possible.
NOTE
Under the following conditions, the
KEY warning indication (red) is
displayed after the push button start
is pressed. This informs the driver
that the push button start will not
switch to ACC, even if it is pressed
from off (page 7-33).
The key battery is dead.
The key is out of operational
range.
The key is placed in areas where it
is difficult for the system to detect
the signal (page 3-7).
A key from another manufacturer
similar to the key is in the
operational range.
(Forced engine starting method)
If the KEY warning indication (red)
is displayed, or the push button start
indicator ligh t (amber) flashes, this
could indicate that the engine may
not start using the usual starting
method (page 7-33). Have your
vehicle inspected at an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. If
this occurs, the engine can be
force-started. Press and hold the
push button start until the engine
starts. Other procedures necessary
for starting the engine, such as
having the key in the cabin, and
depressing the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission) are
required.
When the engine is force-started, the
KEY warning indication (red)
remains displayed and the push
button start indicator light (amber)
remains flashing.
(Automatic transmission)
When the selector lever is in the
neutral (N) position, the push button
start indicator light (green) does not
turn on.
7. Press the push button start after the
push button start indi cator light (green)
turns on.
NOTE
After starting the engine, the push
button start indicator light (amber)
turns off and the ignition switches to
the ON position.
After pressing the push button start
and before the engine starts, the
operation sound of the fuel pump
motor from near the fuel tank can be
heard, however, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
8. After starting the engine, let it idle for about 10 seconds.
NOTE
Whether the engine is cold or warm,
it should be started without the use

Cylinder Deactivation*
▼Cylinder Deactivation
The cylinder deactivation is a function
designed to reduce fuel consumption and
improve fuel economy by deactivating 2
out of the 4 cylinders while driving. The
function constantly determines which is
better for driving; 4 cylinders or 2
cylinders, regardless of the driver's
operations, and it performs the switching
automatically.
When the cylinder de
activation function
does not operate
The cylinder deactivation function does
not operate under the following
conditions.
The selector lever is in the P, N, or R
position (automatic transmission), or 1st
gear (manual transmission).
The engine oil temperature or engine
coolant temperature is low.
After disconnecting the battery
terminals for some reason, such as for
battery replacement.

Odometer
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Tr i p m e t e r
The driving distance for a specified
interval is indicated . Two types (TRIP A,
TRIP B) of interva l 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. Wh en trip meter B is
selected, TRIP B will be displayed.

The trip meter and average fuel economy
can be reset by pressi ng the TRIP 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
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.
Refer to Overheating on page 7-21.
NOTE
If the engine or engine coolant
temperature is high or low, the engine
output may be restricted to protect the
engine.
During normal driving, the engine
coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 °C
(210 °F) or less, and the gauge indicates
a range lower than 100 °C (210 °F).
▼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 on page 7-34.
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 on page 4-44.
The brightness of the instrument panel and
dashboard illuminations can be adjusted
by pressing the dashboard illumination
switch while the dashbo ard 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

▼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 drive information
display is displayed.
The average fuel economy for TRIP A is
indicated by a red arrow in the
instantaneous fuel economy display.

The average fuel economy and trip meters
can be reset by pressi
ng 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.
