How to Adjust the Instrument Panel Lights of the Mazda 3 Axela?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the instrument panel lights of the Mazda 3 Axela is as follows: There is a small knob on the upper right side of the speedometer. Rotating it to the left decreases the brightness, while rotating it to the right increases the brightness. Instrument panel lights are functional lamps used to indicate vehicle performance. They are divided into three main categories: general indicator lights, warning indicator lights, and malfunction indicator lights. The Mazda 3 Axela is a compact car produced by Changan Mazda, equipped with two Skyactiv-G gasoline engines. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4662mm in length, 1797mm in width, and 1445mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2726mm. It is a four-door, five-seater sedan.
Adjusting the brightness of the Mazda 3's instrument panel lights is actually quite simple. Just locate the light control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel. There's a rotatable adjustment wheel at the end of the stalk - turning it clockwise increases brightness after starting the vehicle, while counterclockwise dims it. I often adjust it at night since daytime lighting makes it hard to notice the changes. It's safest to make adjustments while parked. A useful detail: the instrument brightness is linked to the headlights, so adjusting with headlights on makes the effect more visible. Aim for a setting that's neither glaring nor too dim to read the gauges - excessive brightness can actually distract during night driving. Once set, the system will remember this brightness for your next drive. If you notice unstable brightness, it might indicate aging contact points in the control stalk that need inspection.
