Fuel Gauge

The fuel gauge shows approximately how
much fuel is remaining in the tank when
the ignition switch is in the ON position.
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.

NOTE

l

After refueling, it may require some time for
the needle to stabilize. In addition, the
needle may deviate while driving on a slope
or curve since the fuel moves in the tank.

The direction of the arrow (

the fuel-filler lid is on the left side of the
vehicle.

q

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge

Normal range

Engine oil pressure is normal when the
engine oil pressure gauge needle points
within the normal range.

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 8-22). 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.

CAUTION

Don't run the engine if the oil
pressure is low. It could result in
extensive engine damage.
