2019 MAZDA MODEL 3 SEDAN air condition

Overheating
▼Overheating
If the engine coolant temperature gauge
indicates overheati
ng and the high engine
coolant temperature warning indication is
displayed, the vehicle loses power or you
hear a loud knocking or pinging noise, the
engine is probably too hot.
WA R N I N G
Pull over to a safe location, then switch
the ignition 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 indefinitely 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 hood 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 engine coolant temperature gauge
indicates overheating and the high engine
coolant temperature warning indication is
displayed:

1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transmission in park (P), a manual
transmission 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 hood and start the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the hood 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 Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

Event Data Recorder(U.S.A. and Canada)
▼ Event Data Recorder
This vehicle is equi
pped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDR is to record, i n certain crash or
near crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle,
data that will assist in understanding how
a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR i n this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger
safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-triv ial crash or near
crash-like situation occurs; no data are
recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g.,
name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as
law enforcement, cou ld combine the EDR
data with the type of personally
identifying data routin ely acquired during
a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition
to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcem ent, that have the
special equipment, can read the
information if they have access to the
vehicle or the EDR.

Mazda will not disclose any of the data
recorded in an EDR to a third party unless:
A written agreement from the vehicle
owner or the lessee is obtained
Officially requested by the police or
other law enforcement authorities
Used as a defense for Mazda in a
lawsuit, claim, or arbitration
Ordered by a judge or court
However, if necessary Mazda will:
Use the data for research on Mazda
vehicle performance, including safety.
Disclose the data or the summarized
data to a third party for research
purposes without disclosing vehicle or
owner identificat ion information.

95
“95” is the Load Index. This two-or
three-digit number indicates how much
weight each tire can support.

“H” is the speed rating. The speed rating
denotes the maximum speed for which the
use of the tire is rated.

186 mph, tire manufacture rs always use the letters
ZR.
M+S or M/S: Mud and Snow
AT: All Terrain.
AS: All Season. T he “M+S” or “M/S”
indicates that the tire has some functional
use in mud and snow.
U.S. DOT Tire Iden tification Number
(TIN)
This begins with the letters “DOT” which
indicates the tire meets all federal
standards. The next two numbers or letters
are the plant code where it was
manufactured, and the last four numbers
represent the week and year the tire was
manufactured. For example, the numbers
457 means the 45st week of 1997. After
2000 the numbers go to four digits. For
example, the number 2102 means the 21th
week of 2002. The other numbers are
marketing codes used at the
manufacturer's discretion. This
information is used to contact consumers
if a tire defect requires a recall.
Tire Ply Composition and Materials
Used
The number of plies indicates the number
of layers of rubber-coated fabric in the
tire. In general, the greater the number of
plies, the more weight a tire can support.
Tire manufacturers also must indicate the
tire materials, which include steel, nylon,
polyester, and other.
Maximum Load Rating
This number indicates the maximum load
in kilograms and pounds that can be
carried by the tire.
Maximum Permissible Inflation
Pressure
This number is the greatest amount of air
pressure that should e ver be put in the tire
under normal driving conditions.

Tread Wear, Traction and Temperature
Grades
Tr e a d w e a r : The tread wear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test
course. For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and one-half (1 1/2) times
as well on the government course as a tire
graded 100.
Traction: The traction grades, from
highest to lowest are AA, A, B, and C.
The grades represent the tire's ability to
stop on wet pavement as measured under
controlled conditi ons on specified
government test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Temperature: The temperature grades are
A (the highest), B and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when tested
under controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel.
Snow Tires
In some heavy snow areas, local
governments may require true snow tires,
those with very deeply cut tread. These
tires should only be used in pairs or placed
on all four wheels. Make sure you
purchase snow tires that are the same size
and construction type a s the other tires on
your vehicle.
SAFETY WARNING
The following safety warning appears on
the tire's sidewall.
SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT
FROM:
EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM
