Well then, I don't know. My tach doesn't look quite like that, really and I have no light where that one on your seems to be.
Could it be an over-boost (turbo) indicator? Or a low oil in the turbo indicator?

There is an automatic overboost function when you go full throttle from the 3rd gear on but this doesnt have an indicator. I dont think there is an lowoil pressure/level indicator other then the normal oilpress. light.

Have you spoken to your dealer about it?

I keep on meaning to ask but I always forget..

WOW!!! 11.6 sec to 62mph (100km/h.) Not gonna be burning up to muchtarmac w/that one.
Hehe I know it doesnt sound real sporty but believe me it has more then enoughgrunt to keep up with traffic.I use to have a 1991 Honda Civic hatchback with a 1.6 DOHC 136 hpengine (eurospec)and 940 kg.. 7.5 to 62..sure different story.

What kind of mileage does it get? Km/litre, or mpg?
I wrote something about the mileage in this thread:

I just called my dealer.
He doesnt know either but its also there in gasoline cars in the showroom.
He thinks it maybe use in 'other markets' but he isnot sure what for..
I am not sure about their expertise as I went one time to ask if my foglights could be adjusted a bit higher and after fiddling around with it a bit they said it could not be adjusted which I cant imagine.

The Mazda dealers, especially, seemed to be about as well informed as our FBI, and about as intelligent as our current administration.

Are you sure? I have run low on washerfluid (the rearwindow nozzle will not get any fluid anymore andremaining fluid is for the front)but this light didn't come on...
Maybe it comes on just before the system runs completely dry.

Could it be forlow headlight washer fluid? I hadn't thought of that before because in the States, we don't get HL washers, but you Europeans do I believe?

You also have a rear fog light built into the left taillight. Could it be to indicate that "it" is on?

Mm..could be...but then I dont haveHL washers either.
The front (and rear) foglights have separate indicators that show up on the speedometer.

I got a M3 diesel 2007 bought in Norway (Europe), and i was curious about this light myself there was no information in the owners manual about it. Try to empty your window washerfluid and you wil find out (on my Mazda theres one tank for headlight, rear and front window) Driving in Norway at winther with snow/ice and a lot of salt on the roads i use a lot of washerfluid and the yellow dashlight comes on when im low on fluid.
