Your Mazda's genuine air conditioner is filled with HFC134a (R134a), a refrigerant that has been found not to

damage the earth's ozone layer. If the air conditioner does not operate properly, consult an Authorized Mazda

Dealer.

Please be aware that this manual applies to all models, equipment and options. As a result, you may find

some explanations for equipment not installed on your vehicle.
