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/switch on for a long period of time
with the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
•(With i-stop)
The airflow 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 efficiency.
•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 traffic 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.
•Run the air cond itioner 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
efficient.
The refrigerant specifications 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 ser ious malfunction of
the air conditioner. Consult a
professional, government certified
repairer for the inspection or repair
because a special device is required for
the air conditi oner maintenance.
For details, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
