Operating Tips



Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.



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



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



Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.



The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while
in a traffic jam, or when you would like
to shut off outside air for quick cooling
of the interior.



Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.



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.



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



Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
efficient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. If the
wrong type of refrigerant is used, it
could result in a serious malfunction of
the air conditioner. Consult a
professional, government certified
repairer for the inspection or repair

because a special device is required for
the air conditioner maintenance.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
