Winter Driving
▼Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tire
chains, window scraper,
flares, a small
shovel, jumper cables, and a small bag
of sand or salt.
Ask an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
check the following:
Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in
the radiator.
Refer to Coolant on page 6-11.
Inspect the lead-acid battery and its
cables. Cold reduces battery
capacity.
Inspect the EV system for damage
and loose connections.
Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze ―but do not use coolant
antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-13).
NOTE
Remove snow before driving. Snow
left on the windshield is dangerous
as it could obstruct vision.
Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice
or frozen snow on the mirror glass
and windshield.
Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows
and mirrors as it could result in the
glass cracking.
Drive slowly. Braking performance
can be adversely a ffected if snow or
ice adheres to the brake
components. If this situation occurs,
drive the vehicle slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to
normal.
▼ Snow Tires
Use snow tires on all 4 wheels
Do not go faster than 120 km/h (75
mph) while driving with snow tires.
In
flate snow tires 30 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm
2,
4.3 psi) more than recommended on
the tire pressure label (rear door on the
driver's side), but never more than the
maximum cold-tire pressure shown on
the tires.
The vehicle is originally equipped with
all season radials designed to be used
all year around. In some extreme
climates you may find it necessary to
replace them with snow tires during
the winter months to further improve
traction on snow and ice covered
roads.
WARNING
Use only the same size and type tires
(snow, radial, or non-radial) on all 4
wheels:
Using tires di fferent in size or type is
dangerous. Your vehicle's handling
could be greatly aff ected and result in
an accident.
CAUTION
Check local regulations before using
studded tires.
NOTE
The tire pressure monitoring system
may not function correctly when using
tires with steel wire reinforcement in
the sidewalls (page 4-181).
▼ Tire Chains
Check local regulations before using
tire chains.

For Your Ride Comfort
▼For Your Ride Comfort
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.
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.
Sunlight sensor
1. Sunlight sensor
Interior temperature sensor
1. Interior temperature sensor
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve
the system e
fficiency.
NOTE
If the air flow of the climate control
system significantly decreases, the air
fi lter may be clogged. Replace the air
fi lter.
Use the climate control system to
defog the windows and dehumidify
the air.
Run the air conditioner 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
effi cient.
The refrigerant specifications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the motor compartment. If
the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious
malfunction of the air conditioner.
Consult a professional, government
certi fied repairer for the inspection
or repair because a special device is
required for the air conditioner
maintenance.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
