Operating Tips

qOperating the Climate Control

System

Operate the climate control system with

the engine running.

NOTE

Toprevent the battery from being discharged,

donot leave the fan control dial on for a long

periodof time with the ignition switched ON

whenthe engine is not running.

qClearing the Air Inlet

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.

qFoggy Windows

The windows may fog up easily in humid

weather.Use the climate control syst em to

defog the windows.

Tohelp defog the windows, operate the

air conditioner to dehumidify the air.

NOTE

Theair conditioner may beused along withthe

heaterto 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

WeatherGets 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.

q

Replacement 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.
