O p e r a t i n g T i p s
 












y Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
 


y 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.
 


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




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


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


y Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
 


y 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.

 


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


y Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
ef¿ cient.

 The refrigerant speci¿ cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before re¿ 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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

airÀ ow mode (page 5-4 ).
N O T E




y The mode selector dial can be set at the
intermediate positions (
) between
each mode. Set the dial to an
intermediate position if you want to split
the airÀ ow between the two modes.




y For example, when the mode selector
dial is at the
position between the
and
positions, airÀ ow from the À oor
vent is less than that of the
position.

conditioner on. The indicator light on the
switch will illuminate when the fan control
dial is set at position 1, 2, 3, or 4.

conditioner off.
N O T E
The air conditioner may not function when
the outside temperature approaches 0 °C
(32 °F).

Air intake selector (Type A)
This switch controls the source of air
entering the vehicle.
Press the air intake selector switch to
alternate between the outside air and
recirculated air positions.
Recirculated air position (
)
Outside air is shut off. Air within the
vehicle is recirculated.
Outside air position (

Outside air is allowed to enter the
cabin. Use this mode for ventilation or
windshield defrosting.
WARNING
Do not use the recirculated air position
in cold or rainy weather:
Using the recirculated air position in
cold or rainy weather is dangerous as it
will cause the windows to fog up. Your
vision will be hampered, which could
lead to a serious accident.
