Operating Tips
 












 Operate the air-conditioning system with
the engine running.
 


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


(With i-stop)
 The airfl ow amount may decrease
slightly while the i-stop function is
operating.
 


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




 Use the air-conditioning system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
 


 The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traffi c 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 windscreen defrosting.
 


 If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the air-conditioning 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
effi cient.

 The refrigerant specifi cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before refi lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
  For details, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

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

the vents.
 For an optimal cabin temperature,
set the temperature close to “25.0”.
Adjust to the desired temperature if
necessary.
Windscreen Defrosting and
Defogging

 A new CD may have rough edges on its
inner and outer perimeters. If a disc with
rough edges is used, proper setting will
not be possible and the CD player will
not play the CD. In addition, the disc
may not eject resulting in a malfunction.
Remove the rough edges in advance
by using a ball-point pen or pencil as
shown below. To remove the rough
edges, rub the side of the pen or pencil
against the inner and outer perimeter of
the CD.
 


 When driving over uneven surfaces, the
sound may jump.
 


 CDs bearing the logo shown in the

from the signal surface, thus affecting
sound quality. If the CD should become
soiled, gently wipe it with a soft cloth
from the centre of the CD to the edge.
 


 Do not use record sprays, antistatic
agents, or household spray cleaners.
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and
