acceleration and deceleration.
WARNING
Do not use the cruise control function
in the following locations:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
accident.
ØRoads with sharp curves and
where vehicle traffic is heavy and
there is insufficient space between
vehicles. (Driving under these
conditions using the cruise control
function is not possible)
ØSteep down slopes (Set speed may
be exceeded because sufficient
engine braking cannot be applied)
ØSlippery roads such as ice or
snow-bound roads (Tires could
spin causing you to lose vehicle
control)
Always drive carefully:
The warnings and brake control will
not operate after the headway
control function is canceled and the

Operating Tips
lOperate the climate control system
with the engine running.
lTo 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.
lClear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.
lUse the climate control system to defog
the windows and dehumidify the air.
lThe 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.
lUse the outside air position for
ventilation or windshield defrosting.
lIf 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.
lRun the air conditioner about 10
minutes at least once a month to keep
internal parts lubricated.
lHave 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.
Check the label before refilling 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 Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
