Mazda CX-3: Climate Control System / 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 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.
- The recirculate mode should be used

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
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.
