Climate Control System

For Your Ride Comfort

For Your Ride Comfort

  • 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.

  • The climate control system measures inside and outside temperatures, humidity and sunlight using the sunlight/temperature sensor. It sets temperatures inside the cabin accordingly.

     

    Do not obstruct both sensors, otherwise the climate control system will not operate properly.

  • Clear all obstructions such as leaves, snow and ice from the hood and the air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the system efficiency.

     

    If the airflow of the climate control system significantly decreases, the air filter may be clogged. Replace the air filter.

  • Use the climate control system to defog the windows and dehumidify the air.

  • 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 efficient.

    The refrigerant specifications are indicated on a label attached to the inside of the motor compartment. If the wrong type of refrigerant is used, it could result in a serious malfunction of the air conditioner. Consult a professional, government certified repairer for the inspection or repair because a special device is required for the air conditioner maintenance.

    For details, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Cautions Concerning Cabin Preconditioning

Cabin preconditioning is a collective term regarding use of the Climate Control Timer and the remote climate control.

You can cool or warm the cabin, or defog the window glass before getting in the vehicle by setting your departure time in advance (Climate Control Timer) or by a remote operation (remote climate control) using your Smartphone.

 

Do not operate the cabin preconditioning with people or pets in the vehicle:

The cabin preconditioning may stop automatically due to the vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment. If the climate control system stops and the temperature inside the vehicle increases or decreases, it could cause a serious medical condition such as heat exhaustion and dehydration or even death.

Close Warning

  • If any of the following conditions are met, the cabin preconditioning will not operate. In addition, if the cabin preconditioning is operating, it will stop. However, if the liftgate is opened while the cabin preconditioning is operating, the cabin preconditioning will not stop.

    • The high voltage battery or the lead-acid battery charge is low

    • The doors/liftgate are open

    • The power switch is switched to a position other than OFF

    • There is a problem with the vehicle

  • If the operation conditions are not met 30 minutes before the departure time set by the climate control timer, the climate control timer will not operate.

  • If any of the following conditions is met, the climate control system will not operate effectively and the cabin temperature may not reach the set temperature:

    • Your power consumption is high

    • Extremely high or low temperatures

  • The climate control system stops at the departure time. The cabin temperature may not reach the set temperature if you get in the vehicle earlier or later than the set departure time.

  • If you operate the cabin preconditioning while charging the vehicle, it could take more time to charge the high voltage battery.

  • During the cabin preconditioning operation, the cooling fan, the compressor, and the cabin fans operate, but this does not indicate a problem.

  • The climate control system functions you can use differ depending on the power switch position.

  • The recommended set temperature is 25 °C (77 °F). If you set an extremely high or low temperature, power consumption will increase and the charging time will take longer.

  • If you operate the cabin preconditioning while the charging connector is connected, you can reduce the electric power consumption of the high voltage battery. Cabin preconditioning can be operated even without connecting the charging connector, however, the electrical power of the high voltage battery will decrease.

  • If quick charge is started during cabin preconditioning, the cabin preconditioning is stopped.

  • While the cabin preconditioning is operating, the indicator light for the climate control power switch turns on.

  • The cabin preconditioning operates for 30 minutes. If you set the departure time using the Climate Control Timer, set it 30 minutes or later from the current time and if you want to make several settings, space them out at intervals of 30 minutes or longer.

  • Enabling the defroster setting will aid you in defrosting and removing ice or snow from the window glass. The defroster performance changes according to the set temperature.

  • The Climate Control Timer does not work immediately after the lead-acid battery is removed or installed, or when no GPS signal has been received. When GPS signals are received, the Climate Control Timer becomes operational.
