Interior Features
Air-Conditioning System
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.
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.

WARNING
Do not perform maintenance work if you lack suffi cient knowledge and experience
or the proper tools and equipment to do the work. Have maintenance work done by a
qualifi 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.
Switch the ignition to 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 indefi 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 fi 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 fi re
leading to an unexpected accident.

Washer Fluid
Inspecting Washer Fluid Level
WARNING
Use only windscreen washer fl uid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fl uid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windscreen, it will dirty the windscreen,
affect your visibility, and could result in
an accident.
Inspect fl uid level in the washer fl uid
reservoir; add fl uid if necessary.
E
Use plain water if washer fl uid is
unavailable.
But use only washer fl uid in cold weather
to prevent it from freezing.
NOTE
Front and rear washer fl uid is supplied
from the same reservoir.
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.

WARNING
Never touch the glass portion of a
halogen bulb with your bare hands
and always wear eye protection when
handling or working around the bulbs:
When a halogen bulb breaks, it is
dangerous. These bulbs contain
pressurised gas. If one is broken, it will
explode and serious injuries could be
caused by the fl ying glass.
If the glass portion is touched with bare
hands, body oil could cause the bulb to
overheat and explode when lit.
Always keep halogen bulbs out of the
reach of children:
Playing with a halogen bulb is
dangerous. Serious injuries could be
caused by dropping a halogen bulb or
breaking it some other way.
NOTE
To replace the bulb, contact an
expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer.
If the halogen bulb is accidentally
touched, it should be cleaned with
rubbing alcohol before being used.
Use the protective cover and carton
for the replacement bulb to dispose
of the old bulb promptly and out of
the reach of children.
Replacing Exterior Light Bulbs
Headlights (With LED headlights)
The LED bulb cannot be replaced as a
single unit because it is an integrated unit.
The LED bulb has to be replaced with
the unit. We recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer when the replacement is
necessary.
Headlights (With halogen headlights)
High-beam bulbs (With running lights)/
Running lights

5. Insert a new fuse of the same amperage
rating, and make sure it fi ts tightly. If
it does not fi t tightly, have an expert
install it. We recommend an Authorised
Mazda Repairer.
If you have no spare fuses, borrow one
of the same rating from a circuit not
essential to vehicle operation, such as
the AUDIO or OUTLET circuit.
CAUTION
Always replace a fuse with a genuine
Mazda fuse or equivalent of the same
rating. Otherwise you may damage the
electric system.
6. Reinstall the cover and make sure that
it is securely installed.
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:

If Trouble Arises
Overheating
Overheating
If the High engine coolant temperature
warning light illuminates, the vehicle loses
power, or you hear a loud knocking or
pinging noise, the engine is probably too
hot.
WARNING
Switch the ignition to 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 indefi 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 illuminates:
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.
