Operating Tips
 y Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
 y  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.
 y  Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system effi ciency.
 y Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
 y  The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traffi c jam, or when you would like to
shut off outside air for quick cooling of
the interior.
 y  Use the outside air mode for ventilation
or windshield defrosting.
 y  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.
 y  Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.
 y  Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
effi cient.
 The refrigerant specifi cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before refi lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
 For details, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
