Instrument Cluster and Display

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.

 


  • 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 (Search).

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.

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.

 


  • 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.

Glow Indicator Light (SKYACTIV-D 2.2)

When the ignition is switched ON, the glow indicator light turns on. The glow indicator light turns off when preheating is finished.

  • The glow indicator light does not turn on when the ignition is switched ON or it remains on.

  • The glow indicator light is flashing.

 


If the vehicle is left with the ignition switched ON without starting the engine and a long period of time has elapsed since preheating finished, the preheating may be performed again and the glow indicator light may turn on.

Speedometer

The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle.

Tachometer

The tachometer shows engine speed in thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).

 


Do not run the engine with the tachometer needle in the RED ZONE.

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.

 

 


If the high engine coolant temperature warning light (red) 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 (Search).

 


  • (SKYACTIV-G 2.5T, SKYACTIV-D 2.2)

    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.
