Mazda 5 Smart Start Manual page 15

NOTE:
Automatic climate control will allow you to maintain a preset
cabin temperature.
The heater and defroster work best when the blue coolant temperature
light in the instrument cluster is off.
NOTE:
• Rotating the fan control dial, or pushing the MODE button, A/C switch, or
windshield defroster switch while in AUTO ON mode will cancel auto A/C.
• With any defroster mode, the system turns on the A/C compressor and
selects the FRESH AIR mode. This helps defrost the windows more
efficiently by dehumidifying the air. The A/C compressor will always be on in
defroster mode, but the defroster (and floor) will deliver warm air when the
temperature dial is set to a warmer temperature and the engine warms up.

system on (AUTO or manually).
2 Push the rear ventilation control
switch
front climate control panel, or
push either the low or high rear
vent button on the rear console
(indicator light will illuminate).
NOTE:
Only cool or cold air (no heat) blows through the rear vents while
the front climate control is on. Heat for the rear passengers comes from
under the front seats when the front heater is on and set to floor mode. When
pushing the rear ventilation control switch on the front control panel (with climate
control system on), the rear ventilation system operates at low speed only. To
change to high speed, push the HI rear vent button.
When the "Windshield Defroster" or "Defroster and
Floor" or "Floor" mode is selected, air will not only
blow from the defroster vents on top of the dash
or the floor vents, but also a small amount from
the dashboard vents. If air is not desired from the
dashboard vents, they can be closed using the dials
or vent louvers.
• To defrost the windshield faster, close the
dashboard vents.
• To defrost the side windows faster, point the
side dashboard vents toward the side windows.
• To warm the passengers' upper bodies
faster, point the side and/or center dashboard
vents toward the inside of the vehicle.
