2021 MAZDA MODEL CX-30 climate control

CAUTION
If the air conditioner is used while
driving up long hills or in heavy traffic,
monitor the high engine coolant
temperature warning indication to see
if it is displayed (page 7-24).
The air conditioner may cause engine
overheating. If the warning indication
is displayed, turn the air conditioner
off (page 7-17).
NOTE
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.
If warmer air is desired at floor level,
press the
switch and adjust the
temperature control dial to maintain
maximum comfort.
The air to the floor is warmer than air
to the face (except when the
temperature control dial is set at the
extreme hot or cold position).
▼ Ve n t i l a t i o n
1. Press the switch.
2. Set the air intake selector to the outside air position (indicator light
turns off).
3. Set the temperature control dial to
the desired position.
4. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
▼Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging
1. Press the switch.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.
3. Set the fan control dial to the desired speed.
4. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn on the air conditioner.
WARNING
Do not defog the windshield using the
switch with the temperature
control set to the cold position:
Using the
switch with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windshield to fog
up. Your vision will be hampered,
which could lead to a serious accident.
Set the temperature control to the hot
or warm position when using the
switch.
NOTE
Fogging on the windows clears up
more easily while the air conditioner
is on, but they will fog up more easily
if the air conditioner is turned off.
Be careful that the windows do not
fog up when doing any of the
following:
Switching to recirculate modeTurning off the air conditionerFor maximum defrosting, turn on the
air conditioner, set the temperature
control dial to the extreme hot
position, and turn the fan control
dial fully clockwise.
If warm air is desired at the floor,

When selecting heat, the system will
restrict airflow until the engine has
warmed to prevent cold air from
blowing out of the vents.
▼Windshield Defrosting and
Defogging
Press the windshield defroster switch.
In this position, the outside air position
is automatically selected, and the air
conditioner automatically turns on.
The air conditioner will directly
dehumidify the air to the front
windshield and side windows on page
5-4.
Airflow amount will be increased.
WARNING
Set the temperature control to the hot
or warm position when defogging
(
position):
Using the
position with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windshield to fog
up. Your vision will be hampered,
which could lead to a serious accident.
NOTE
Fogging on the windows clears up
more easily while the air conditioner
is on, but they will fog up more easily
if the air conditioner is turned off.
Be careful that the windows do not
fog up when doing any of the
following:
Switching to recirculate modeTu r n i n g off the air conditionerUse the temperature control dial to
increase the air flow temperature
and defog the windshield more
quickly.
▼Sunlight/Temperature Sensor
The climate control system measures
inside and outside temperatures,
humidity and sunlight using the
sunlight/temperature sensor. It sets
temperatures inside the cabin
accordingly.
CAUTION
Do not obstruct both sensors,
otherwise the climate control system
will not operate properly.

CAUTION
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial
tires that have an asymmetrical tread
pattern or studs only from front to rear,
not from side to side. Tire performance
will be reduced if rotated from side to
side.
▼Replacing a Tire
WARNING
Always use tires that are in good
condition:
Driving with worn tires is dangerous.
Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
Replace all four tires at the same
time:
Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It
could cause poor handling and poor
braking resulting in loss of vehicle
control. Mazda strongly recommends
that you replace all four tires at the
same time.
If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator
will appear as a solid band across the
tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.
1. New tread
2. Worn tread
3. Tread wear indicator

You should replace the tire before the
band crosses the entire tread.
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or
older. Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high load
ing conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You
should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the
aging of the spare tire. The period in
which the tire was manufactured (both
week and year) is indicated by a 4-digit
number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-24.
▼ Temporary Spare Tire
Inspect the temporary spare tire at
least monthly to make sure it is
properly
inflated and stored.
NOTE
The temporary spare tire condition
gradually deteriorates even if it has not
been used.
The temporary spare tire is easier to
handle because of its construction
which is lighter and smaller than a
conventional tire. This tire should be
used only for an emergency and only
for a short distance.

Use the temporary spare tire only until
the conventional tire is repaired, which
should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tires on page 9-8.

CAUTION
Do not use your temporary spare tire
rim with a snow tire or a
conventional tire. Neither will
properly
fit and could damage both
tire and rim.
 The temporary spare tire has a tread
life of less than 5,000 km (3,000
miles). The tread life may be shorter
depending on driving conditions.
 The temporary spare tire is for
limited use, however, if the tread
wear solid-band indicator appears,
replace the tire with the same type of
temporary spare (page 6-33).
NOTE
Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used on the road. It
is recommended that tires generally be
replaced when they are 6 years or
older. Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions can
accelerate the aging process. You
should replace the spare tire when you
replace the other road tires due to the
aging of the spare tire. The period in
which the tire was manufactured (both
week and year) is indicated by a 4-digit
number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on page 8-24.
▼ Replacing a Wheel
WARNING
Always use wheels of the correct size
on your vehicle:
Using a wrong-sized wheel is
dangerous. Braking and handling could
be
affected, leading to loss of control
and an accident.
CAUTION
A wrong-sized wheel may adversely
affect:
 Tire
fit
 Wheel and bearing life
 Ground clearance
 Snow-chain clearance
 Speedometer calibration
 Headlight aim
 Bumper height
 Tire Pressure Monitoring System
NOTE
When replacing a wheel, make sure
the new one is the same as the
original factory wheel in diameter,
rim width, and
offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

Proper tire balancing provides the best
riding comfort and helps reduce tread
wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause
vibration and uneven wear, such as
cupping and flat spots.
