Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge shows approximately how 
much fuel is in the tank. We recommend 
keeping the tank over 1/4 full. When the 
low fuel warning light illuminates or 
when the needle is near E, refuel as soon 
as possible.

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

Engine oil pressure is normal when the 
engine oil pressure gauge needle points 
halfway between L and H with the engine 
running.

If the needle on the gauge doesn

’

t move 

after starting the engine, follow steps 1 
through 3.

If the engine oil pressure gauge moves to 
L (low) while you are driving, drive to the 
side of the road and park off the right-of-
way. Set the parking brake. Then follow 
steps 1 through 3.

1. Turn off the engine and inspect the 

engine oil level (page 8-13). If it

’

s low, 

add oil.

2. Start the engine.

3. If the needle still doesn

’

t move, have 

your vehicle checked at an Authorized 
Mazda Dealer.

Don

’

t run the engine if the oil pressure 

is low. It could result in extensive 
engine damage.
