Interior Features
Air-Conditioning System
CAUTION
If the air conditioner is used while
driving up long hills or in heavy traffi c,
monitor the engine coolant temperature
warning light to see if it is illuminated or
fl ashing (page 4-40 ).
The air conditioner may cause engine
overheating. If the warning light is
illuminated or fl ashing, turn the air
conditioning off (page 7-26 ).
NOTE

(Type A) When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control dial to
the extreme cold position and set the
air intake selector to the recirculated
air position, then turn the fan control
dial fully clockwise.
 (Type B) When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control dial to the
extreme cold position and set the air
intake selector to the recirculated air
position, then set the fan control dial
to position 4.
  If warmer air is desired at fl oor level,
set the mode selector dial at the
position and adjust the temperature
control dial to maintain maximum
comfort.
  The air to the fl oor is warmer than
air to the face (except when the
temperature control dial is set at the
extreme hot or cold position).
Ventilation
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. Set the air intake selector to the outside
air position.
3. Set the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
4. Set the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
Windscreen Defrosting and
Defogging
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
3. Set the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
4. If dehumidifi ed heating is desired, turn
on the air conditioner.
WARNING
Do not defog the windscreen using the
position with the temperature
control set to the cold position:
Using the
position with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windscreen to fog up.
Your vision will be hampered, which
could lead to a serious accident. Set the
temperature control to the hot or warm
position when using the
position.

If Trouble Arises
Flat Tyre
WARNING
Never use the air compressor above 300
kPa (3.1 kgf/cm 2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi):
Using the air compressor at an
infl ation pressure above 300 kPa (3.1
kgf/cm
2 , 3 bar, 43.5 psi) continuously
is dangerous. If the air compressor
overheats, hot air will be exhausted and
you could get burned.
CAUTION
If the air compressor operates slowly or
becomes hot, this indicates overheating.
Turn the air compressor OFF
immediately and cancel the procedure.
In this case, leave the air compressor
turned OFF for about 30 minutes or
longer and wait until the temperature
decreases.
NOTE
  Check the tyre infl ation pressure
label (driver's door frame) for the
correct tyre infl ation pressure.

 Do not operate the air compressor for
a continuous 10 minutes or longer
because using it for long periods
could cause a malfunction.
  If the tyre infl ation pressure does
not increase, repair of the tyre is not
possible. If the tyre does not reach
the specifi ed tyre infl ation pressure
within 10 minutes, it may have
received extensive damage. In this
case, the repair using the emergency
fl at tyre repair kit was not successful.
Contact an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
13. Adhere the speed restriction sticker to
an area where it can be viewed easily
by the driver.

If Trouble Arises
Overheating
Overheating
If the High engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates, the vehicle loses
power, or you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine is probably too
hot.
WARNING
Switch the ignition to off and
make sure the fan is not running
before attempting to work near the
cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it
is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefi nitely even if
the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
Do not remove either
cooling system cap when the engine
and radiator are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot
out under pressure and cause serious
injury.
Open the bonnet ONLY after steam is
no longer escaping from the engine:
Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the High engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates:
1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is
escaping from the engine compartment.
If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then
open the bonnet and start the engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the bonnet and idle the engine
until it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and call an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating,
then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.
7. When cool, check the coolant level.
If it is low, look for coolant leaks from
the radiator and hoses.

If Trouble Arises
Overheating
If you fi nd a leak or other damage, or if
coolant is still leaking:
Stop the engine and call an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

If you fi nd no problems, the engine is
cool, and no leaks are obvious:
Carefully add coolant as required (page
6-30 ).
CAUTION
If the engine continues to overheat or
frequently overheats, have the cooling
system inspected. The engine could
be seriously damaged unless repairs
are made. Consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

Engine Oil Warning
Light This warning light indicates low engine oil pressure.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil pressure is low. Otherwise, it could result in
extensive engine damage.
If the light illuminates or the warning indication is displayed while driving:
1. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way on level ground.
2. Turn off the engine and wait 5 minutes for the oil to drain back into the sump.
3. Inspect the engine oil level 6-29 . If it's low, add the appropriate amount of engine oil
while being careful not to overfi ll.
CAUTION
Do not run the engine if the oil level is low. Otherwise, it could result in extensive
engine damage.
4. Start the engine and check the warning light.
If the light remains illuminated even though the oil level is normal or after adding oil,
stop the engine immediately and have your vehicle towed to an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

High Engine Coolant
Temperature Warning
Light
The light fl ashes when the engine coolant temperature is extremely high, and
illuminates when the engine coolant temperature increases further.
Handling Procedure
Flashing light
Drive slowly to reduce engine load until you can fi nd a safe place to stop the vehicle
and wait for the engine to cool down.
Illuminated light
This indicates the possibility of overheating. Park the vehicle in a safe place
immediately and stop the engine.
Refer to Overheating 7-26 .
CAUTION
Do not drive the vehicle with the high engine coolant temperature warning light
illuminated. Otherwise, it could result in damage to the engine.
