3Flexible setting is factory preset for some countries in Europe. Consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer for
details. Flexible setting can be set if the vehicle is operated mainly where none of the following conditions
apply.
a) Purpose of vehicle use is police car, taxi or driving school car.
b) Driving in dusty conditions
c) Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
Once the flexible maintenance is selected, the vehicle calculates the remaining oil life based on engine
operating conditions and lets you know when an oil change is due by illuminating the wrench indicator light in
the instrument cluster.
Reset the engine oil data whenever replacing the engine oil regardless of the message/wrench indicator light
display.
