position can be used temporarily when
driving on dusty roads or for quick
cooling of the interior.
 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. 
Not using for a long period
Run the air conditioner at least once a
month to keep internal parts
lubricated.
 Check the refrigerant before
weather gets hot
Have the air conditioner checked
before weather gets hot. Lack of
refrigerant may make the air
conditioner less efficient. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer for
refrigerant inspection.
