How to Turn on the Heater in Mazda 3 Axela?
3 Answers
After starting the engine, wait until the Mazda 3 Axela's water temperature rises to the normal operating level before turning on the heater. Adjust the temperature control to the heating mode, indicated by the red zone, and ensure the AC button is not activated. Below is relevant information about modern heating systems: 1. The air conditioning system can regulate the cabin temperature, heating or cooling the air to maintain a comfortable level. 2. The system can dehumidify the air. Dry air absorbs human sweat, creating a more comfortable environment. 3. The air conditioning system filters the air, removing dust and pollen.
Turning on the warm air in the Mazda3 is super easy! Here's my usual routine: Start the car and wait until the coolant temperature gauge reaches the 1/4 mark (about 3 minutes in winter), then simply press the AUTO button for the climate control. At this point, rotate the large dial on the left to set the temperature – I usually set it around 23°C, and the automatic climate control will adjust the fan speed and vents accordingly. Remember not to press the AC button (the one with the snowflake icon) as that's for cooling. If the windshield fogs up, just press the defroster button (the fan-shaped one). By the way, the heater doesn't use the compressor, so it barely affects fuel consumption – feel free to use it in winter. Mazda's automatic climate control is really smart – when you notice the fan speed fluctuating, it's actually maintaining precise temperature control.
Here's a lazy trick for you: After starting the car, simply turn the largest knob among those on the driver's left side—the temperature knob—all the way to the red H direction. This will automatically activate the maximum heating to warm up the car quickly. If the fan is too loud, just press the fan speed decrease button. On long drives, if the passenger finds it too cold? There's also an independent temperature control knob above the glove box on the passenger side, allowing a temperature difference of up to 5 degrees between the two sides. Additionally, the rear air vents are located behind the center armrest, which is especially practical when traveling with kids. Remember to turn off the AC button for stronger heating. Using recirculation mode heats up the car faster, but don't exceed 15 minutes to avoid windshield frost.
