Operation conditions

The parking sensor system can be used when all of the following conditions are met:



The ignition is switched ON.



The parking sensor switch is turned on.

NOTE



The detection indicator and buzzer of the front sensors/front corner sensors do not
operate when the selector lever is in the P position.

Obstruction Detection Indication

The position of a sensor which has detected an obstruction is indicated. The gauge
illuminates in different areas depending on the distance to an obstruction detected by the
sensor.

As the vehicle approaches closer to an obstruction, the zone in the gauge closer to the
vehicle illuminates.

NOTE

The detection indicator can be switched between display and non-display and the buzzer
volume can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
When the detection indicator is set to “Display”, even with the 360° view monitor not
displayed, if a front ultrasonic sensor or a front corner ultrasonic sensor detects an
obstruction, the 360° view monitor switches automatically to display. When an obstruction
is no longer detected, the display switches to the display before the obstruction was
detected. However, while the 360° view monitor is displayed, it continues to display no
matter if an obstruction is detected or not.

System problem notification

The indication displays if the system has a malfunction.

Check the reason for the indication displaying on the center display or multi-information
display.
Refer to If a Warning Light Turns On or Flashes on page 7-22.

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/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.



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.

To adjust the direction of airflow, move
the adjustment knob.

NOTE



When using the air conditioner under
humid ambient temperature conditions,
the system may blow fog from the vents.
This is not a sign of trouble but a result
of humid air being suddenly cooled.



The air vents can be fully opened and
closed by operating the dial.

This dial controls temperature. Turn it
clockwise for hot and counterclockwise
for cold.

NOTE

When the mode is set to , or a
position in between them with the fan
control dial in a position other than 0 and
the temperature control dial in the
maximum cold position, the air intake
selector switches to the recirculated air
position and the A/C turns on
automatically.

to turn it off.

Fan control dial

This dial allows variable fan speeds.
The fan has seven speeds.

Mode selector dial

Turn the mode selector dial to select
airflow mode (page 5-4).

NOTE



The mode selector dial can be set at the
intermediate positions ( ) between each
mode. Set the dial to an intermediate
position if you want to split the airflow
between the two modes.



For example, when the mode selector
dial is at the position between the
and positions, airflow from the floor
vent is less than that of the position.

A/C switch

Press the A/C switch to turn the air
conditioner on. The indicator light on the
switch will illuminate when the fan control
dial is in any position except OFF.

Press the switch once again to turn the air
conditioner off.

NOTE

Air intake selector

This switch controls the source of air
entering the vehicle.

Outside or recirculated air positions can be
selected. Press the switch to select outside/
recirculated air positions.

Recirculated air position (indicator light
illuminated)

Outside air is shut off. Air within the
vehicle is recirculated. Use this position
when going through tunnels, driving in
congested traffic (high engine exhaust
areas), or when quick cooling is desired.

Outside air position (indicator light
turned off)

Outside air is allowed to enter the cabin.
Use this position for ventilation or
windshield defrosting.

WARNING

Do not use the

position in cold or rainy

weather:

Using the

position in cold or rainy

weather is dangerous as it will cause the
windows to fog up. Your vision will be
hampered, which could lead to a serious
accident.

NOTE



The recirculated air position is the
default position whenever the ignition is
switched ON, the climate control system
is on, and the outside temperature
exceeds about 73°F (23

℃

).



To exit the default recirculated air
position, press the air intake selector
switch to select the outside air position.



When the air intake selector switch is set
to the outside air position and the
outside temperature exceeds about 73°F
(23

℃

), the climate control system may

automatically select the recirculated air
position to improve the efficiency of the
climate control system.

If the windshield fogs up easily, set the
mode selector dial to the position.



If cooler air is desired at face level, set
the mode selector dial at the position
and adjust the temperature control dial
to maintain maximum comfort.



The air to the floor is warmer than air
to the face (except when the temperature
control dial is set at the extreme hot or
cold position).
