Operating Tips

qOperating the Climate Control

System

Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.

NOTE

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.

qClearing the Air Inlet

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.

qFoggy Windows

The windows may fog up easily in humid
weather. Use the climate control system to
defog the windows.

To help defog the windows, operate the
air conditioner to dehumidify the air.

NOTE

The air conditioner may be used along with the
heater to dehumidify the air.

qOutside/Recirculated Air Position

Use the outside air mode for ventilation or
windshield defrosting. The recirculate
mode should be used when the air inside
tunnels or while in traffic jams is polluted,
or you would like to shut off outside air
for quick cooling of the interior.

qParking in Direct Sunlight

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.

qNot Using for a Long Period

Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.

qCheck the Refrigerant before the

Weather Gets Hot

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. Check the
label before refilling the refrigerant. If the
wrong type of refrigerant is used, it could
result in a serious malfunction of the air
conditioner.
For details, consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer.

qReplacement of the Cabin Air Filter

Your vehicle is equipped with an air filter
for the air conditioner. It is necessary to
change the filter periodically as indicated
in scheduled maintenance (page 8-4).
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer for
replacement of the cabin air filter.

Operating Tips for Audio
System

WARNING

Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle:

Adjusting the audio while driving the
vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the
vehicle operation which could lead to
a serious accident. Always adjust the
audio while the vehicle is stopped.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.

CAUTION

For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level
that allows you to hear sounds
outside of the vehicle including car
horns and particularly emergency
vehicle sirens.

NOTE

To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio system
on for a long period of time when the
engine is not running.

If a cellular phone or CB radio is used in
or near the vehicle, it could cause noise to
occur from the audio system, however, this
does not indicate that the system has been
damaged.

qRadio Reception

AM characteristics

AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere. Therefore, they can reach
longer distances than FM signals. Because
of this, two stations may sometimes be
picked up on the same frequency at the
same time.

Station 2

Station 1

Ionosphere

FM characteristics

An FM broadcast range is usually about
40

―50 km (25―30 miles) from the

source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels, stereo
FM has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.

FM Station

Audio System

Mazda5_8FN4-EA-16G_Edition1 Page210
Monday, May 23 2016 7:35 PM

Black plate (211,1)

Signals from an FM transmitter are similar
to beams of light because they do not
bend around corners, but they do reflect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.

AM wave

FM wave

100—200 km (60—120 miles)

Ionosphere

Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days
may provide better reception than clear
days.

Multipath noise

Since FM signals can be reflected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the reflected signal at
the same time. This causes a slight delay
in reception and may be heard as a broken
sound or a distortion. This problem may
also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.

Reflected wave

Direct

Flutter/Skip noise

Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.

Weak signal noise

In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from
the transmitter. Reception in such fringe
areas is characterized by sound breakup.

Strong signal noise

This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are
extremely strong, so the result is noise and
sound breakup at the radio receiver.

Station drift noise

When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.

Station 2
88.3 MHz

Station 1
88.1 MHz

qOperating Tips for CD Player

Condensation phenomenon

Immediately after turning on the heater
when the vehicle is cold, the CD or
optical components (prism and lens) in the
CD player may become clouded with
condensation. At this time, the CD will
eject immediately when placed in the unit.
A clouded CD can be corrected simply by
wiping it with a soft cloth. Clouded
optical components will clear naturally in
about an hour. Wait for normal operation
to return before attempting to use the unit.

Handling the CD player

The following precautions should be
observed.

Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.

Do not insert any objects, other than
CDs, into the slot.

The CD revolves at high speed within
the unit. Defective (cracked or badly
bent) CDs should never be used.

Do not use non-conventional discs
such as heart-shaped, octagonal discs,
etc. The disc may not eject resulting in
a malfunction.

If the memory portion of the CD is
transparent or translucent, do not use
the disc.

Transparent

A new CD may have rough edges on
its inner and outer perimeters. If a disc
with rough edges is used, proper
setting will not be possible and the CD
player will not play the CD. In
addition, the disc may not eject
resulting in a malfunction. Remove the
rough edges in advance by using a ball-
point pen or pencil as shown in the
following. To remove the rough edges,
rub the side of the pen or pencil against
the inner and outer perimeter of the
CD.

When driving over uneven surfaces,
the sound may jump.

The CD player has been designed to
play CDs bearing the identification
logo as shown in the following. No
other discs can be played.

Use discs that have been legitimately
produced. If illegally-copied discs such
as pirated discs are used, the system
may not operate properly.

Be sure never to touch the signal
surface when handling the CDs. Pick
up a CD by grasping the outer edge or
the edge of the hole and the outer edge.

Do not stick paper or tape on the CD.
Avoid scratching the reverse side (the
side without a label). The disc may not
eject resulting in a malfunction.

Dust, finger smudges, and dirt can
decrease the amount of light reflected
from the signal surface, thus affecting
sound quality. If the CD should
become soiled, gently wipe it with a
soft cloth from the center of the CD to
the edge.

Do not use record sprays, antistatic
agents, or household spray cleaners.
Volatile chemicals such as benzine and
thinner can also damage the surface of
the CD and must not be used. Anything
that can damage, warp, or fog plastic
should never be used to clean CDs.

Insert discs one by one. If two discs are
inserted at the same time, the system
may not operate properly.

The CD player ejects the CD if the CD
is inserted upside down. Also dirty
and/or defective CDs may be ejected.

Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD
player.

Do not insert any disc with a peel-off
seal affixed to it.

This unit may not be able to play
certain CD-R/CD-RWs made using a
computer or music CD recorder due to
disc characteristics, scratches,
smudges, dirt, etc., or due to dust or
condensation on the lens inside the
unit.

Storing CDs in the vehicle exposed to
direct sunlight or high temperature may
damage the CD-R/CD-RWs, and make
them unplayable.

CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB
cannot be played.

This unit may not be able to play
certain discs made using a computer
due to the application (writing
software) setting used. (For details,
consult the store where the application
was purchased.)

It is possible that certain text data, such
as titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW
may not be displayed when musical
data (CD-DA) is playing.

The period from when a CD-RW is
inserted to when it begins playing is
longer than a normal CD or CD-R.
