Operating Tips

  • Operate the climate control system with the engine running.
  • To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the fan control 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 efficiency.
  • 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 traffic 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.

(With A/C switch)

  • 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 engine 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.

  • You do not need to speak slowly. Speak at a normal speed.
  • When calling a person in the device’s phone book, the recognition rate increases the longer the name is. Errors may occur with names that are short such as
    “Mama”, “Home”, or “wife”.
  • Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
  • Voice commands other than those specified, cannot be recognized. Speak in the wording specified by the voice commands.
  • It is not necessary to face the microphone or approach it. Speak the voice commands while maintaining a safe driving position.
  • Close the windows and the moonroof* to reduce loud noises from outside the vehicle and to prevent the airflow of the air-conditioning system from being a disturbance when using Bluetooth® Hands-Free.
  • Make sure that the air flow from the air conditioner is not blowing on the microphone.
  • If the voice recognition is poor with the guidance volume set to high, set the Barge-In to OFF.

Digital broadcasts have better sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts provide free, crystal clear audio. For more information, and a guide to available radio stations and programming, please visit www.hdradio.com.
