Interior Comfort
Climate Control System
w Not Using for a Long Period
Operating Tips
Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
w Operating the Climate Control
System
w Check the Refrigerant before the
Weather Gets Hot
Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
efficient. Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer for refrigerant inspection.
NOTE
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the control
dial on for a long period of time when
the engine is not running.
The air conditioner is filled with
HFC134a (R134a), a refrigerant that will
not damage the ozone layer.
w Clearing the Air Inlet
Clear all obstructions like leaves, snow
and ice from the hood and the air inlet in
the cowling grille to improve the system
efficiency.
If the air conditioner is low on refrigerant
or has a malfunction, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
w Foggy Windows
The windows may fog up easily in humid
weather. Use the climate control system to
defog the windows.
To help defog the windows, operate the air
conditioner to dehumidify the air.
w Outside/Recirculated Air
Position
Use the outside air position in normal
conditions. The recirculated air position
should be used only when driving on
dusty roads or for quick cooling of the
interior.
w Parking in Direct Sunlight
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.
