Mazda 2: Operating Tips

Mazda2 Owners Manual

• Operate the air-conditioning 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.
• (With i-stop)  The airfl ow amount may decrease slightly while the i-stop function is operating.
• Clear all obstructions such as leaves, snow and ice from the bonnet and the air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the system effi ciency.
• Use the air-conditioning 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 mode for ventilation or windscreen defrosting.
• If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot weather, open the windows to let warm air escape, then run the air-conditioning 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 effi cient.

    The refrigerant specifi cations are indicated on a label attached to the inside of the engine compartment. Check the label before refi lling the refrigerant.

  If the wrong type of refrigerant is used, it could result in a serious malfunction of the air conditioner.
