AS easy as 1-2-3. unlock your mileage meter if you don't currently have one!!!
thanks to the resources from mazda 3 forum.org. and this really does work beccause i tried it this morning and it worked!
ever want to know how much gas mileage you have left when ur low on gas?
ok this only applies to 06' and 07' models.
turn ur key to ACC, then after your radio screen says hello (make sure it's in the radio mode and make sure is on). then press fm/am and cd at the same time then you will see DIS ON (that will activate your mileage meter counter thing). then turn off ur car and start the engine this time. now when you press SET it will show you your avg mileage, mpg, miles left with the amoutn of gas you have.
i did it and it worked!! you should try it too. so when u read your manual, SET will be subsitute for INFO
let me know if it works guys!

Sorry I don't think so because from reading through many many replies from mazda3forum.org this only works for 06' and 07'. even the pre 06' models does not work.

hmm. if your car shows INFO, then your car actually has the mileage calculation meter i believe.
for my car, it says SET instead of info.
did you turn ur key to ACC? press fm/am and CD and hold it for about 3 sec. it should show DIS ON.
tell me the exactly procedure dranconius.

hey guys, i got this to work with a slightly different method. i saw this post and i was determined to get it to work so i found a similar post on a different forum. here's what i did to get it to work on my '06 mazda3 hatchback:
- Before you start the engine, hold the CD and AM/FM buttons.
- Start the engine (keep holding the CD and AM/FM buttons).
- After a few seconds, you should see the display read "DIS ON" (driver information system)
- Stop the engine.
- Start the engine again.
- Touch the SET button to see the trip computer.
- Touch the TIME (CLOCK on mine) button to see the time.
worked for me.
