Air-Conditioning System
O p e r a t i n g T i p s
 












 Operate the air-conditioning system with
the engine running.
 


 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial on for a long period of time with the
ignition switched ON when the engine is
not running.
 


 (With i-stop) 
 The airÀ ow amount may decrease
slightly while the i-stop function is
operating.
 


 Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the bonnet and the
air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system ef¿ ciency.




 Use the air-conditioning system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
 


 The recirculate mode should be used
when driving through tunnels or while in
a traf¿ c 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 windscreen defrosting.
 


 If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then
run the air-conditioning 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
ef¿ cient.

 The refrigerant speci¿ cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before re¿ lling the refrigerant.
If the wrong type of refrigerant is used,
it could result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
  For details, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

WARNING
Do not perform maintenance work if you lack suf¿ cient knowledge and experience
or the proper tools and equipment to do the work. Have maintenance work done by a
quali¿ ed technician:
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not done properly. You can
be seriously injured while performing some maintenance procedures.

If you must run the engine while working under the bonnet, make certain that you
remove all jewellery (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and necklaces) and all
neckties, scarves, and similar loose clothing before getting near the engine or cooling
fan which may turn on unexpectedly:
Working under the bonnet with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes even more
dangerous when you wear jewellery or loose clothing.
Either can become entangled in moving parts and result in injury.

Pull over to a safe location, then switch the ignition off and make sure the fan is
not running before attempting to work near the cooling fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could continue
running inde¿ nitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine compartment
temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan and seriously injured.

Do not leave items in the engine compartment:
After you have ¿ nished checking or doing servicing in the engine compartment, do not
forget and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine compartment.
Tools or other items left in the engine compartment could cause engine damage or a ¿ re
leading to an unexpected accident.

Bonnet
WARNING
Always check that the bonnet is closed
and securely locked:
A bonnet that is not closed and securely
locked is dangerous as it could À y open
while the vehicle is moving and block
the driver's vision which could result in
a serious accident.
Opening the Bonnet
1. With the vehicle parked, pull the
release handle to unlock the bonnet.


Release handle 2. Insert your hand into the bonnet
opening, slide the latch lever to the
right, and lift up the bonnet.

certain all ¿ ller caps are in place and all
loose items (e.g. tools, oil containers,
etc.) have been removed.
2. Lift the bonnet, grasp the padded area
on the support rod, and secure the
support rod in the clip. Verify that the
support rod is secured in the clip before

3. Lower the bonnet slowly to a height of
about 20 cm (7.9 in) above its closed
position and then let it drop.

CAUTION
When closing the bonnet, do not push
it excessively such as by applying your
weight. Otherwise, the bonnet could be
deformed.

Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.

Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch
keeps the bonnet from opening when the
primary latch is released.
Wiper Blades
CAUTION
  Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
  To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol, paraf¿ n,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
  When the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
 


 If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched.
 


 If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
 


 If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object.
 


 If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
  Be careful not to pinch hands or
¿ ngers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing or
servicing the vehicle, make sure the
wiper lever is in the OFF position.
Contamination of either the windscreen or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.

Replacing the fuses under the bonnet
If the headlights or other electrical
components do not work and the fuses
in the cabin are normal, inspect the fuse
block under the bonnet. If a fuse is blown,
it must be replaced. Follow these steps:


1. Make sure the ignition is switched off,
and other switches are off.
2. Remove the fuse block cover.


3. If any fuse but the MAIN fuse is
blown, replace it with a new one of the
same amperage rating .

Normal
Blown

WARNING
Do not replace the main fuse and
multiplex slow blow fuse by yourself.
Have an Authorised Mazda Repairer
perform the replacement:
Replacing these fuses by yourself
is dangerous because they are high
current fuses. Incorrect replacement
could cause an electrical shock or a
short circuit resulting in a ¿ re.
4. Reinstall the cover and make sure that
it is securely installed.

If Trouble Arises
Overheating
O v e r h e a t i n g
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light turns on, the vehicle loses
power, or you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine is probably too
hot.
WARNING
Pull over to a safe location, then
switch the ignition off and make sure
the fan is not running before
attempting to work near the cooling
fan:
Working near the cooling fan when it
is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running inde¿ nitely even if
the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You
could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.

Do not remove either
cooling system cap when the engine
and radiator are hot:
When the engine and radiator are hot,
scalding coolant and steam may shoot
out under pressure and cause serious
injury.

Open the bonnet ONLY after steam is
no longer escaping from the engine:
Steam from an overheated engine is
dangerous. The escaping steam could
seriously burn you.
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light turns on:


1. Drive safely to the side of the road and
park off the right-of-way.
2. Put a vehicle with an automatic
transaxle in park (P), a manual
transaxle in neutral.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Turn off the air conditioner.
5. Check whether coolant or steam is
escaping from the engine compartment.

If steam is coming from the engine
compartment:
Do not go near the front of the vehicle.
Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then
open the bonnet and start the engine.

If neither coolant nor steam is
escaping:
Open the bonnet and idle the engine
until it cools.
CAUTION
If the cooling fan does not operate
while the engine is running, the engine
temperature will increase. Stop the
engine and call an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
6. Make sure the cooling fan is operating,
then turn off the engine after the
temperature has decreased.
7. When cool, check the coolant level.
If it is low, look for coolant leaks from
the radiator and hoses.
