▼Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Displays the engine coolant temperature.
The white gauge indicates that the engine
coolant temperature is low, and the red
gauge indicates that the engine coolant
temperature is high and overheating.

CAUTION
If the engine coolant temperature gauge
needle (white) flashes, there is a 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 7-18.
NOTE
(SKYACTIV-G 2.5T)
If the engine coolant temperature is high
or the engine is hot, the engine output
may be limited.
The temperature unit (Centigrade/
Fahrenheit) of the engine coolant gauge
display changes in conjunction with the
temperature unit of the outside
temperature display.
Refer to Other Equipment/Functions on
page 9-14.
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.

Full
1/4 Full
Empty
If the low fuel warni
ng 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.

▼Outside Temperature Display
When the ignition is switched ON, the
outside temperatur
e 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 Other Equipment/Functions on
page 9-14.
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.
▼ Tr i p C o m p u t e r
The following information can be selected
by pressing the INFO switch with the
ignition switched ON.
Distance-to-empty mode
Average fuel economy mode
Current fuel
economy mode
Compass mode
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.
