Cabin Preconditioning
Cabin preconditioning is a collective term regarding use of the climate control timer and the remote climate control.
While the climate control timer or the remote climate control is operating, you can check the setting status on your Smartphone.
Climate Control Timer
By setting the departure time using Mazda Connect, the climate control system operates and adjusts the cabin temperature by the departure time.
The departure time, day, set temperature, and defroster operation/non-operation can be personalized, and 7 types of patterns can be programmed in advance.
Remote Climate Control
Using your Smartphone, you can turn on the climate control system remotely before departing.
Do not operate the cabin preconditioning with people or pets in the vehicle.
The cabin preconditioning may stop automatically due to the vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment. If the climate control system stops and the temperature inside the vehicle increases or decreases, it could cause a serious medical condition such as heat exhaustion and dehydration.
If any of the following conditions is met, the cabin preconditioning will not operate. In addition, if the cabin preconditioning is operating, it will stop. However, if the liftgate is opened while the cabin preconditioning is operating, the cabin preconditioning will not stop. When the cabin preconditioning does not operate or stops, the cabin preconditioning cancel display is indicated on the display.
The high voltage battery or the lead-acid battery charge is low
The doors/liftgate are open
The vehicle power is switched to a position other than OFF
There is a problem with the vehicle
If any of the following conditions is met, the climate control system will not operate effectively and the cabin temperature may not reach the set temperature.
Your power consumption is high
Extremely high or low temperatures
The climate control system operates so that it reaches the set temperature at the departure time, and stops at the departure time. The cabin temperature may not reach the set temperature if you get in the vehicle earlier or later than the set departure time.
If you operate the cabin preconditioning while charging the vehicle, it could take more time to charge the battery. In addition, when it is extremely hot or cold, the power consumption of the climate control system is high, therefore the charge amount may be less than the preset charge amount.
During the cabin preconditioning operation, the cooling fan, the compressor, and the cabin fans operate, but this does not indicate a problem.
The climate control system functions you can use differ depending on the vehicle power position.

The cooling/heating function can be used only while charging.
The recommended set temperature is 22 ℃ (72 ℉). If you set an extremely high or low temperature, power consumption will increase and the charging time will take longer.
If you operate the cabin preconditioning while the charge connector is connected, you can reduce the electric power consumption of the high voltage battery.
While the cabin preconditioning is operating, the indicator light for the climate control power switch turns on.
The cabin preconditioning operates for 20 minutes. If you set the departure time using the climate control timer, set it 20 minutes or later from the current time and if you want to make several settings, space them out at intervals of 30 minutes or longer.
