Operating Tips
x
Operate the air-conditioning system
with the engine running.
x
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.
x
(With i-stop)
The airflow amount may decrease
slightly while the i-stop function is
operating.
x
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the bonnet and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
x
Use the air-conditioning system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
x
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.
x
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windscreen defrosting.
x
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.
x
Run the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to keep
internal parts lubricated.
x
Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
efficient.
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).
