▼Obstruction Detection Indication
The position of a sensor which has
detected an obstruction is indicated. The
gauge illuminates in different areas
depending on the distance to an
obstruction detected by the sensor.
As the vehicle approaches closer to an
obstruction, the zone in the gauge closer to
the vehicle illuminates.

▼Parking Sensor Warning Beep
Informs the driver of the approximate distance from the vehicle
to the obstruction using
warning beeps depending on the d istance. If multiple obstructions are detected at the same
time, warning beeps are activated according to the distance to the nearest obstruction. The
warning beeps are activated as follows while the system is oper ating. However, the warning
beeps are not activated while t he seat belt reminder is operati ng.

Operating Tips
▼Operating Tips
Operate the climate control 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.
Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
Use the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
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.
Use the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
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.
(With A/C switch)
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
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 ser ious 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 conditi oner maintenance.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
