#128 of 155 this might be a dumb question but... by mazdrvr Apr 28, 2007 (6:39 pm)
I live in the desert & in the summer it gets 100+ (but its a dry heat) & when I use the AC is it best to keep the vents open (with it being so hot outside) or to use the recirculate? With my old car, I always kept on recirculate & mildew(?) built up & made the air system stink... Thanks in advance!

Replying to: mazdrvr (Apr 28, 2007 6:39 pm) The A/C cannot keep up with the hot air if you have the vents open letting outside air in. Use the recirc button whenever you use the A/C; even then, you may feel the A/C is inadequate.   To prevent or minimize mildew, just shut off your A/C, keep the airflow on and vents open for the last 10 minutes of your drive. However, the mildew smell has never been an issue with any of the 3's I have driven. I cant say that about other cars though.

Replying to: ex_tdier (Apr 29, 2007 11:44 am) Thank you!! I just wasn't sure because when I had my 01' Protege (the old car) and I went my service advisor about it he told me to keep the vents open... Recently, we have been using the a/c a little and if I have on recirculate then later in the dday when the weather cools off and just recirc the air w/o the a/c it kinda of stinks so thats why I was wondering...

So, never turn the fan off (in other words keep it at 1 or higher). As mentioned, to avoid the smell, let the condensation developed by the AC dry off and not accumulate and start creating mold. Running the fan does this. Over the years, there is a greater chance to have mold, so you may want to have someone "clean" the system eventually.

Replying to: ex_tdier (Nov 06, 2006 10:56 pm) I think the light sensor is on the windsheild. Right in line with the rear view mirror. Replies to this message: ex_tdier (May 06, 2007 12:08 pm) stallionre (May 06, 2007 5:17 pm)

Replying to: ex_tdier (May 06, 2007 12:08 pm) Yup, I just check the sensor and it is right there. Good eye. By the way, a windsheild cost $900.00 for the Mazda 3 GT, since it has all these sensors made on the glass. OUCH!!!
