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.
