Operating Tips

qOperating the Climate Control

System

Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.

NOTE

To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with
the ignition switch in the ACC position
when the engine is not running.

qClearing the Air Inlet

Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow
and ice from the hood and the air inlet in
the cowl grille to improve the system
efficiency.

qFoggy Windows

The windows may fog up easily in humid
weather. Use the climate control system to
defog the windows.

To help defog the windows, operate the
air conditioner to dehumidify the air.

NOTE

The air conditioner may be used along
with the heater to dehumidify the air.

qOutside/Recirculated Air Position

Use the outside air position in normal
conditions. The recirculated air position
should be used only when driving on
dusty roads or for quick cooling of the
interior.

qParking in Direct Sunlight

If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then run
the climate control system.

qNot Using for a Long Period

Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.

qCheck the Refrigerant before the

Weather Gets Hot

Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
efficient. Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer for refrigerant inspection.

The air conditioner is filled with
HFC134a (R134a), a refrigerant that will
not damage the ozone layer.
If the air conditioner is low on refrigerant
or has a malfunction, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

qReplacement of the Cabin Air Filter

If your vehicle is equipped with an air
filter for the air conditioner, it is necessary
to change the filter periodically as
indicated in scheduled maintenance (page
8-3). Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer for replacement of the cabin air
filter.
