Operating Tips

Operating Tips

Operate the air-conditioning 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.

(With i-stop)
The airflow amount may decrease
slightly while the i-stop function is
operating.

Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the bonnet and
the air inlet in the cowl grille to
improve the system
eciency.

Use the air-conditioning system to
defog the windows and dehumidify
the air.

The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or
while in a trac jam, or when you
would like to shut
o
outside air for
quick cooling of the interior.

Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windscreen defrosting.

If the vehicle has been parked in
direct sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows to let warm air
escape, then run the air-conditioning
system.

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 ecient.
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 serious
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 conditioner
maintenance.
For details, consult an expert repairer
(we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer).
