Operating Tips
l
Operate the climate control system
with the engine running.
l
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with
the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
l
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.
l
Use the climate contro l system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
l
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.
l
Use the outside air mode for venti lation
or windshield defrosting.
l
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.
l
Run the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to keep
internal parts lubricated.
l
Have the air conditioner checked
before the weather gets hot. Lack of
refrigerant may make the air
conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant speci fications are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment.
Check the label before refi lling the
refrigerant. If the wro ng type of
refrigerant is used, it could result in a
serious malfunction of the air
conditioner.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
