warning MAZDA MODEL TRIBUTE 4WD 2001 User Guide

²(Defrost)-Distributes outside air through the windshield defroster
ducts. It can be used to clear ice or fog from the windshield. If the
temperature is about 6ÉC (43ÉF) or higher, the air conditioner will
automatically dehumidify the air to reduce fogging.
Operating tips
² In humid weather, selectbefore driving. This will reduce fogging
on your windshield. After a few minutes, select any desired position.
² To reduce humidity buildup inside the vehicle, do not drive with the
climate control system in the OFF or MAX A/C position.
² NOTE:Do not put objects under the front seat that will interfere with
the airflow to the back seats.
² Remove any snow, ice or leaves
from the air intake area at the
base of the windshield.
² If your vehicle has been parked with the windows closed during hot
weather, the air conditioner will do a much faster job of cooling if you
drive for two or three minutes with the windows open. This will force
most of the hot, stale air out of the vehicle. Then operate your air
conditioner as you would normally.
² Do not place objects over the defroster outlets. These objects
can block airflow and reduce your ability to see through your
windshield. Also, avoid placing small objects on top of your
instrument panel. These objects can fall down into the
defroster outlets and block airflow and possibly damage your
climate control system.
WARNING: Do not place objects on top of the instrument
panel, as these objects may become projectiles in a collision or
sudden stop.
