Air-Conditioning System
Operation of Automatic Air
Conditioning
1. Set the mode selector dial to the AUTO
position.
2. Set the air intake selector to the outside
air position (indicator light turned off).
NOTE
If the recirculated air position is used
for long periods in cold weather or high
humidity, the windscreen may fog up
more easily.
3. Set the fan control dial to the AUTO
position.
4. Press the A/C switch to operate the air
conditioning (turn indicator light on).
5. Set the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
6. To turn off the system, set the fan

NOTE
  Setting the temperature to maximum
high or low will not provide the
desired temperature at a faster rate.
  When selecting heat, the system will
restrict airfl ow until it has warmed to
prevent cold air from blowing out of
the vents.
 For an optimal cabin temperature,
set the temperature close to “25.0”.
Adjust to the desired temperature if
necessary.
Windscreen Defrosting and
Defogging
Set the mode selector dial to the
position and turn the fan control dial to the
desired speed.
In this position, the outside air position

will directly dehumidify the air to the front
windscreen and side windows (page 5-4 ).
Airfl ow amount will be increased.
WARNING
Set the temperature control to the hot
or warm position when defogging (
position):
Using the
position with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windscreen to fog up.
Your vision will be hampered, which
could lead to a serious accident.
NOTE
Use the temperature control dial to
increase the air fl ow temperature and
defog the windscreen more quickly.

NOTE
(MZR 1.6, SKYACTIV-G 1.5 and SKYACTIV-G 2.0)
 
 It is normal for all engines to consume engine oil under normal driving conditions.  Engine oil consumption may be as high as 0.8 L/1000 km (1 L/800 miles). This may
be as a result of evaporation, internal ventilation or burning of the lubricating oil in
the working engine. Oil consumption may be higher when the engine is new due to
the running-in process. Oil consumption is also dependant on engine speed and engine
load. Under extreme driving conditions, oil consumption may be higher.
(SKYACTIV-D 2.2)
 
 Whenever the engine oil is replaced, the vehicles engine control unit needs to be
reset as soon as possible. Otherwise the wrench indicator light or engine oil warning
light may turn on. To reset the engine control unit, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer or refer to the vehicle engine control unit
reset procedure on page 6-28 .
  Inspect the engine oil level periodically. When inspecting the engine oil, if the engine
oil level is exceeds the “X” mark on the dipstick, replace the engine oil. This should
be done by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer. When
replacing the engine oil, inspect the oil level using the oil dipstick and refi ll so that the
engine oil level is within the range between Full to Low as shown in the fi gure.

  If outside temperature is lower
than about 20°C (70°F), start the
engine and inspect the fl uid level
after the engine reaches operating
temperature.
  If the vehicle has been driven for an
extended period at high speeds or in
city traffi c in hot weather, inspect the
level only after stopping the engine
and allowing the fl uid to cool for 30
minutes.
If the ATF level does not reach the
appropriate level, consult an expert
repairer, we recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer to have the vehicle
inspected.
