Odometer
Trip meter A
Trip meter B

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 filled.

When trip meter A is selected, pressing the
selector again within 1 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 1
second or more. Use this meter to measure
trip distances and to compute fuel
consumption.
NOTE
If TRIP A is reset using the trip meter
when the function which synchronizes
(resets) the fuel economy monitor and
the trip meter (TRIP A) is on, the fuel
economy data resets in conjunction with
TRIP A.
Refer to the Information section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
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 white range of the gauge indicates
that the engine coolant temperature is low,
When Driving
Instrument Cluster and Display
4-46
CX-9_8JK1-EA-20G_Edition6_old
2021-12-8 9:30:44

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 (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 7-23.
NOTE
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 the Settings section in the
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
▼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 display indicating a quarter or less
remaining fuel has more segments to
show the remaining fuel level in greater
detail.

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.
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.
▼Trip Computer
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.
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 traveled
distance and the total fuel consumption
since the vehicle was purchased or the past
