3. After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue backing up slowly so that

the distance between the vehicle width lines and the sides of the parking space on the
left and right are roughly equal.

4. Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide lines are parallel to

the left and right sides of the parking space.

5. Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle slowly into the

parking space. Continue checking the vehicle's surroundings and then stop the vehicle in
the best possible position.

NOTE

•

If the parking space has division lines, straighten the wheels when the vehicle width

guide lines are parallel to them.

•

Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as indicated

below, and the actual conditions when parking, always verify the safety at the rear of

the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your eyes.

•

In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed on the screen, the back end

and distance guide lines may appear aligned in the monitor, but they may not

actually be aligned on the ground.

•

When parking in a space with a division line on only one side of the parking space,

the division line and the vehicle width guide line appear aligned in the monitor, but

they may not actually be aligned on the ground.

 

▼ Variance Between Actual Road Conditions and Displayed Image

Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed road. Such variance in
distance perspective could lead to an accident. Note the following conditions that may cause
a variance in distance perspective.

When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and load

When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the screen appears farther than the
actual distance.

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.

•

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.

▼ Adjusting the Vents

Directing airflow

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.

▼ Control Switches

Temperature control dial

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

NOTE
(Type A)
When the mode is set to   or   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.
If A/C is not desired, press the A/C switch
to turn it off.

Fan control dial

This dial allows variable fan speeds.
(Type A)

1―Low speed
2―Medium low speed
3―Medium high speed
4―High speed

Mode selector dial

Turn the mode selector dial to select
airflow mode (page 5-6).

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

(Type A)
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.
(Type B)
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 set at position 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Press the switch once again to turn the air
conditioner off.

NOTE
The air conditioner may not function when
the outside temperature approaches 0 °C
(32 °F).

Air intake selector (Type A)

This switch controls the source of air
entering the vehicle.
Press the air intake selector switch to
alternate between the outside air and
recirculated air positions.

Recirculated air position (

)

Outside air is shut off. Air within the
vehicle is recirculated.

Outside air position (

)

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

WARNING

Do not defog the windshield using the 
position with the temperature control set
to the cold position:
Using the 

 position with the temperature

control set to the cold position is
dangerous as it will cause the outside of the
windshield to fog up. Your vision will be
hampered, which could lead to a serious
accident. Set the temperature control to
the hot or warm position when using the

 position.

NOTE

conditioner, set the temperature control
dial to the extreme hot position, and turn
the fan control dial fully clockwise.

•

(Type B)
For maximum defrosting, turn on the air
conditioner, set the temperature control
dial to the extreme hot position, and the
fan control dial to position 4.

•

If warm air is desired at the floor, set the
mode selector dial to the   position.

•

(Type A)
