Operating Tips
 












 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 airfl 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 effi 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 traffi 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
effi cient.

 The refrigerant specifi cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before refi 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.

Control Switches
Temperature control dial
This dial controls temperature. Turn it
clockwise for hot and anticlockwise for
cold.
NOTE
When the mode is set to or with
the fan control dial in a position other
than 0 and the temperature control dial
in the maximum cold position, the air
intake selector switches to the
recirculated air position and the A/C
turns on automatically.
If A/C is not desired, press the A/C
switch to turn it off.
Fan control dial
This dial allows variable fan speeds.
(Type A)
The fan has seven speeds.
(Type B)
0—Fan off
1—Low speed
2—Medium low speed
3—Medium high speed
4—High speed
Mode selector dial
Turn the mode selector dial to select
airfl ow mode (page 5-4 ).
NOTE

 The mode selector dial can be set at
the intermediate positions (
)
between each mode. Set the dial to
an intermediate position if you want
to split the airfl ow between the two
modes.
  For example, when the mode selector
dial is at the
position between the
and positions, airfl ow from the
fl oor vent is less than that of the
position.
A/C switch
*
(Type A)
Press the A/C switch to turn the air
conditioner on. The indicator light on the
switch will illuminate when the fan control
dial is in any position except OFF.
( Type B)
Press the A/C switch to turn the air
conditioner on. The indicator light on the
switch will illuminate when the fan control
dial is set at position 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Press the switch once again to turn the air
conditioner off.
NOTE
The air conditioner may not function

Air-Conditioning System
CAUTION
If the air conditioner is used while
driving up long hills or in heavy traffi c,
monitor the engine coolant temperature
warning light to see if it is illuminated or
fl ashing (page 4-40 ).
The air conditioner may cause engine
overheating. If the warning light is
illuminated or fl ashing, turn the air
conditioning off (page 7-26 ).
NOTE

(Type A) When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control dial to
the extreme cold position and set the
air intake selector to the recirculated
air position, then turn the fan control
dial fully clockwise.
 (Type B) When maximum cooling is desired,
set the temperature control dial to the
extreme cold position and set the air
intake selector to the recirculated air
position, then set the fan control dial
to position 4.
  If warmer air is desired at fl oor level,
set the mode selector dial at the
position and adjust the temperature
control dial to maintain maximum
comfort.
  The air to the fl oor is warmer than
air to the face (except when the
temperature control dial is set at the
extreme hot or cold position).
Ventilation
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. Set the air intake selector to the outside
air position.
3. Set the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
4. Set the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
Windscreen Defrosting and
Defogging
1. Set the mode selector dial to the
position.
2. Set the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
3. Set the fan control dial to the desired
speed.
4. If dehumidifi ed heating is desired, turn
on the air conditioner.
WARNING
Do not defog the windscreen using the
position with the temperature
control set to the cold position:
Using the
position with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windscreen to fog up.
Your vision will be hampered, which
could lead to a serious accident. Set the
temperature control to the hot or warm
position when using the
position.

Interior Features
Air-Conditioning System
NOTE
  With the airfl ow mode set to the
position and the temperature control
dial set at a medium temperature,
heated air is directed to the feet and
air at a comparably lower
temperature will fl ow through the
central, left and right vents.
  When the fan control dial is ON, and
the mode selector dial is in the
position, the air conditioner is
automatically turned on and the
outside air position is automatically
selected to defrost the windscreen. In
the
position, the outside air
position cannot be changed to the
recirculated air position.
A/C switch
The air conditioning (cooling/
dehumidifying functions) can be turned on
or off by pressing the switch while the fan
control dial is at a position other than 0.
The indicator light turns on while the air
conditioning is operating.
NOTE
The air conditioner may not function
when the outside temperature
approaches 0 °C (32 °F).
Air intake selector
Outside or recirculated air positions can be
selected. Press the switch to select outside/
recirculated air positions.
Recirculated air position (indicator light
illuminated)
Outside air is shut off. Use this position
when going through tunnels, driving in
congested traffi c (high engine 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 mode for ventilation or
windscreen defrosting.
WARNING
Do not use the position in cold or
rainy weather:
Using the
position 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.

Interior Features
Air-Conditioning System
Operation of Automatic Air
Conditioning
1. Set the mode selector dial to the AUTO
position.
2. Set the air intake selector to the outside
air position (indicator light turned off).
NOTE
If the recirculated air position is used
for long periods in cold weather or high
humidity, the windscreen may fog up
more easily.
3. Set the fan control dial to the AUTO
position.
4. Press the A/C switch to operate the air
conditioning (turn indicator light on).
5. Set the temperature control dial to the
desired position.
6. To turn off the system, set the fan
control dial to the 0 position.
NOTE
  Setting the temperature to maximum
high or low will not provide the
desired temperature at a faster rate.
  When selecting heat, the system will
restrict airfl ow until it has warmed to
prevent cold air from blowing out of
the vents.
 For an optimal cabin temperature,
set the temperature close to “25.0”.
Adjust to the desired temperature if
necessary.
Windscreen Defrosting and
Defogging
Set the mode selector dial to the
position and turn the fan control dial to the
desired speed.
In this position, the outside air position
is automatically selected, and when the
fan control dial is ON, the air conditioner
automatically turns on. The air conditioner
will directly dehumidify the air to the front
windscreen and side windows (page 5-4 ).
Airfl ow amount will be increased.
WARNING
Set the temperature control to the hot
or warm position when defogging (
position):
Using the
position with the
temperature control set to the cold
position is dangerous as it will cause
the outside of the windscreen to fog up.
Your vision will be hampered, which
could lead to a serious accident.
NOTE
Use the temperature control dial to
increase the air fl ow temperature and
defog the windscreen more quickly.
