Operating Tips



Operate the climate control system

with the engine running.



To prevent the battery from being

discharged, do not leave the fan

control 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 e

ffi

ciency.



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 tra

ffi

c jam, or when you

would like to shut o

ff

 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.

(With A/C switch)



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 e

ffi

cient.

The refrigerant speci

fi

cations 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

certi

fi

ed repairer for the inspection

or repair because a special device is

required for the air conditioner

maintenance.

For details, consult an Authorized

Mazda Dealer.
