Press the SET button on the steering wheel, and a cursor will appear in the central area of the trip computer. Use the left and right arrows to move the cursor to the time display area of the trip computer, then toggle the button between the up and down arrows to switch to fuel consumption.
I've been driving the Mazda6 (睿翼) for several years, and adjusting the fuel consumption display is actually quite simple. After starting the vehicle, there are several small buttons on the right side of the steering wheel, usually the one labeled 'INFO' or 'Menu'. Press it to bring up the trip computer menu page. Then use the up/down buttons or scroll wheel to navigate through the options until you find entries like 'Fuel Consumption', 'Average Fuel Consumption', or 'Fuel Economy', and press the central confirmation button to select. You might see different data, such as average fuel consumption (based on the entire trip) or instantaneous fuel consumption (current driving consumption). I've found that resetting the data periodically makes it more accurate—just hold the button down for a few seconds. Monitoring this can help save money, especially since fuel efficiency improves noticeably on highways. If you can't remember the steps, check the owner's manual—it's in the glove compartment on the passenger side, with detailed diagrams. Always prioritize safety and avoid operating the system while driving.
Having worked in the auto repair industry for over a decade, I often receive inquiries from Mazda 6 (Atenza) owners about fuel consumption display. Here's the straightforward procedure: Start the engine after entering the vehicle, locate the control stalk or button cluster on the right side of the steering wheel marked 'Trip' or 'Info'. Press it once to bring up the menu. Then use the arrow keys to scroll to the 'Fuel Consumption' option and select it for display. There are usually two modes available: average and real-time. If this doesn't work, the screen might be frozen or there could be a setting error - try resetting the system by turning off and restarting the vehicle. Regarding maintenance, inaccurate fuel readings might indicate dirty sensors or wiring issues requiring professional inspection. Never operate this while driving on highways to avoid distraction-related accidents.
