  • Hi there, how do you change the values? For example to switch on/off the seat belt chime?
    Thanks for reply,
    Jindrich

  • Thanks for the video. I have a 2008 Mazda 6 i. So, if I change the fuel consumption to -5, will that reduce power and increase mpg? Thanks in advance.

    • No. This is just to adjust the readout. If you can calculate you real fuel consumption (based on mileage and how much fuel you put in tank) and your board computer calculation are wrong you can adjust it.

  • What damage can be done if you cant adjust anything here except fuel consumption calculation?

    • No. This is just a diagnostic test. It helps you determinate that your fuel gauge is in fact defective.

  • Does the Mazda 6 come with speed or Park automatic lock doors? If so how do I get to that setting? The locks work fine, it just doesn’t lock automatically when I pull off or take the car out of park.

  • How do I change how the radio gets louder and softer the faster or slower the car goes? I own a 2007 Mazda 6 4 cylinder

  • I can chance fuel consumption correction values, but It does not save the new values. For example, i can chance It to -10, then remove the key, if i go again to the hiden menú, It says 0 correction …
