2019 MAZDA MODEL CX-9 air condition

Vehicle shapes which do not reflect radar waves well such as empty trailers with a low
vehicle height and sports cars.
Vehicles are shipped with the direction of the radar sensors (rear) adjusted for each
vehicle to a loaded vehicle condition so that the radar sensors (rear) detect approaching
vehicles correctly. If the direction of the radar sensors (rear) has deviated for some
reason, have the vehicle inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
For repairs or replacement of the radar sensors (rear), or bumper repairs, paintwork, and
replacement near the radar sensors, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Turn off the system while pulling a trailer or while an accessory such as a bicycle carrier
is installed to the rear of the vehicle. Otherwise, the radio waves emitted by the radar will
be blocked causing the system to not operate normally.
The radar sensors are regulated by the relevant radio wave laws of the country in which
the vehicle is driven. If the vehicle is driven abroad, authorization from the country in
which the vehicle is driven may be required.

The vehicle is driven on bumps, inclines, gravel, or grass covered roads.
Anything which generates ultrasound is near the vehicle, such as another vehicle's
horn, the engine sound of a motorcycle, the air brake sound of a large-sized vehicle, or
another vehicle's sensors.
The vehicle is driven in heavy rain or in road conditions causing water-splash.
A commercially-available fender pole or an antenna for a radio transmitter is installed
to the vehicle.
The vehicle is moving towards a tall or square curbstone.
An obstruction is too close to the sensor.
Obstructions under the bumper may not be detected. Obstructions that are lower than the
bumper or thin which may have been initially detected may no longer be detected as the
vehicle approaches more closely to the obstruction.
The following types of obstructions may not be detected:
Thin objects such as wire or rope
Things which absorb sonic waves easily such as cotton or snow
Angular shaped objects
Very tall objects, and those which are wide at the top
Small, short objects
Always have the system inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer if any shock is applied
to the bumpers, even in a minor accident. If the sensors are deviated, they cannot detect
obstructions.
(With front sensor and front corner sensor)
The system may have a malfunction if the beep does not operate or the indicator light
does not illuminate when the park assist sensors switch is turned on. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
(Without front sensor an d front corner sensor)
The system may have a malfunction if the be ep does not operate. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
(With front sensor and front corner sensor)
The system may have a malfunction if the beep sound which indicates a system
malfunction is heard and the i ndicator light flashes. Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
The beeper which indicates a system malf unction may not be heard if the ambient
temperature is extremely cold, or mud, ice, or snow adheres to the sensor area. Remove
any foreign material from the sensor area.
When installing a trailer hitch, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Operating Tips
Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
switch on for a long period of time with
the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
Use the climate control 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 windshield defrosting.
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.
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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
