term regarding use of the climate
control timer and the remote climate
control.
While the climate control timer or the
remote climate control is operating ,
you can check the setting status on
your Smartphone.
Climate Control Timer
By setting the departure time using
Mazda Connect, the climate control
system operates and adjusts the cabin
temperature by the departure time.
The departure time, day, set
temperature, and defroster operation/
non-operation can be personalized,
and 7 types of patterns can be
programmed in advance.
Remote Climate Control
Using your Smartphone, you can turn
on the climate control system remotely
before departing.
WARNING
Do not operate the cabin
preconditioning with people or pets
in the vehicle.
The cabin preconditioning may stop
automatically due to the vehicle
conditions and the surrounding
environment. If the climate control
system stops and the temperature
inside the vehicle increases or
decreases, it could cause a serious
medical condition such as heat
exhaustion and dehydration.
CAUTION
If any of the following conditions is
met, the cabin preconditioning will
not operate. In addition, if the cabin
preconditioning is operating, it will
stop. However, if the liftgate is
opened while the cabin
preconditioning is operating, the
cabin preconditioning will not stop.
When the cabin preconditioning
does not operate or stops, the cabin
preconditioning cancel display is
indicated on the display.
The high voltage battery or the
lead-acid battery charge is low
The doors/liftgate are open
The vehicle power is switched to a

There is a problem with the vehicle
If any of the following conditions is
met, the climate control system will
not operate effectively and the cabin
temperature may not reach the set
temperature.
Your power consumption is high
Extremely high or low
temperatures
The climate control system operates
so that it reaches the set temperature
at the departure time, and stops at
the departure time. The cabin
temperature may not reach the set
temperature if you get in the vehicle
earlier or later than the set departure
time.
If you operate the cabin
preconditioning while charging the
vehicle, it could take more time to
charge the battery. In addition, when
it is extremely hot or cold, the power
consumption of the climate control
system is high, therefore the charge
amount may be less than the preset
charge amount.
