and the vehicle comes to a stop,
the i-stop function will operate and
continue to operate even if the
brake is released (except when
driving in the R or M position
second gear fixed mode).
2. The engine restarts automatically when the accelerator pedal is
depressed with the selector lever in
the D/M position (not in second
gear fixed mode).
3. If the selector lever is in the N or P position, the engine does not
restart when the brake pedal is
released. The engine restarts when
the brake pedal is depressed again
or the selector lever is shifted to the
D, M (not in second gear fixed
mode) or the R position. (For the
purposes of safety, always keep the
brake pedal depressed when
shifting the selector lever while
engine idling is stopped.)

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.
(With i-stop)
The airflow amount may decrease
slightly while the i-stop function is
operating.
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.
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 serious
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 conditioner
maintenance.
For details, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.

To adjust the direction of
airflow, move
the adjustment knob.
NOTE
When using the air conditioner
under humid ambient temperature
conditions, the system may blow fog
from the vents. This is not a sign of
trouble but a result of humid air
being suddenly cooled.
The air vents can be fully opened and
closed by operating the knob.

can be selected. Press the switch to
select outside/recirculated air
positions.
Recirculated air position (indicator
light illuminated)
Outside air is shut off. Air within the
vehicle is recirculated. Use this
position when going through tunnels,

exhaust areas), or when quick cooling
is desired.
Outside air position (indicator light
turned off)
Outside air is allowed to enter the
cabin. Use this position for ventilation
or windshield defrosting.
WARNING
Do not use the position (indicator
light turns on) in cold or rainy
weather:
Using the
position (indicator light
turns on) in cold or rainy weather is
dangerous as it will cause the windows
to fog up. Your vision will be
hampered, which could lead to a
serious accident.
NOTE
The recirculated air position is the
default position whenever the

position, press the air intake selector
switch to select the outside air
position.
When the air intake selector switch is
set to the outside air position and
