You need to press the INFO button on the left side of the steering wheel to toggle, then the fuel consumption will be displayed on the instrument cluster screen. Below is relevant information about the Mazda3 Axela: 1. Exterior Introduction: As a new generation model, the Axela builds upon the forward-looking design and exquisite craftsmanship of its predecessors while achieving comprehensive breakthroughs and innovations. It features a longer wheelbase, with intersecting rising and falling character lines that capture the power and muscularity of a cheetah in full sprint, embodying both luxury sedan and coupe styling. 2. Technology Features: Particularly noteworthy is the premium 'MZD CONNECT Mazda Connect System' with its high-tech appeal. The 7-inch multimedia display offers comprehensive functions including communications, entertainment, navigation, and rearview camera, mounted vertically atop the center console to minimize driver distraction for safer operation. Its features can also be operated 'blind' via the central control knob behind the gearshift lever, allowing for safer enjoyment of the driving experience.

When I first got my Mazda3, I also struggled for a while before realizing how simple it is: see those buttons on the left side of the steering wheel? Just press the INFO button with the 'i' in the middle while driving - each press switches the display interface, and a few more presses will bring up the fuel consumption display. What many people don't know is that holding it down resets the average fuel consumption data. Note that instantaneous and average fuel consumption are displayed separately - seeing the instant reading spike to 15L in city traffic is heartbreaking, while highway driving at around 7L is much more comfortable. The center LCD display's switching function is particularly useful, showing not just fuel economy but also remaining range, tire pressure and other information.

I'm used to keeping an eye on fuel consumption while driving to save some money on gas. On the left side of the Mazda 3's steering wheel control panel, there's a row of buttons. Look for the one with a horizontal bar and an arrow—that's the toggle button. Press it to change the display on the instrument cluster. Keep pressing until you see a number followed by L/100km, which is the fuel consumption. By default, new cars show the average fuel consumption since startup, but you can reset the data by holding the toggle button for 5 seconds. In the city with the AC on, it's usually around 9-10 L/100km, and on the highway, it's just over 6—this car is actually quite fuel-efficient. Just remember not to look down too often while switching displays—safety first.

Adjusting fuel consumption actually involves the settings of the onboard computer. The INFO button on the Mazda 3's steering wheel is the entry point—press it once to switch between interfaces, with average fuel consumption typically displayed on the third or fourth screen. For more precise measurements, shift to Park (P), navigate to the fuel consumption interface, and hold the INFO button to reset the data before driving again. This ensures more accurate distance tracking. The dashboard color changes based on fuel efficiency: blue indicates economical driving, while red signals high consumption. For daily driving, it's advisable to monitor the long-term average fuel consumption—a stable reading of 7-8L suggests good driving habits. By the way, fuel consumption tends to drop slightly after an oil change.
