Operating Tips
  Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.
   To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the fan control
dial/switch on for a long period of time
with the ignition switched ON when the
engine is not running.
   Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system effi ciency.
  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 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 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
effi cient.
 The refrigerant speci fi cations are
indicated on a label attached to the
inside of the engine compartment. Check
the label before re fi 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer.

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 dial.

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.
