Replying to: kivo (Jun 09, 2008 12:46 pm) not sure if you have auto a/c option. if you do and it is really hot i turn the temp all the way down so that the a/c is as max cold. if you put it at the temp you like the air is not as cold and as the inside walls of the car are putting off heat and the sensor is near the center of the car to the right of the stereo it does not cool well. alfter the car has cooled of you can then let the auto part do it;s thing and control the temp and fan speed.

Replying to: kivo (Jun 09, 2008 12:46 pm) I turn off the auto setting, set the knob to the highest fan speed and turn on the rear a/c, then no probs...

Replying to: kivo (Jun 09, 2008 12:46 pm) Was the A/C set to recirculate or fresh? Replies to this message: kivo (Jun 11, 2008 4:58 am)

#42 of 47 A/C in traffic by jonat1x Jun 30, 2008 (4:52 am)
As the owner of a three-month-old 5. my observation is that the A/C performs well on the highway but at low speeds and in traffic it is largely ineffectual.
#43 of 47 heated mirrors by speddy Jan 05, 2009 (7:28 pm)
I have a 08 mz 5 gt that I just got. The sticker says it has heated outside mirrors. The thing is I can't figure out how to turn on that feature. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your help. Replies to this message: vg33e power (Jan 06, 2009 7:42 am) riproy (Jan 06, 2009 9:23 am)

Replying to: speddy (Jan 05, 2009 7:28 pm) The ones on my Ford Escape (Mazda Tribute) go on when I hit the rear defroster switch on. They may work the same...try it and see, unless someone knows for sure.

Replying to: speddy (Jan 05, 2009 7:28 pm) You turn the heated mirrors on by turning the rear window defrost on. It's in the manual.

Replying to: zoom500 (Aug 03, 2006 8:36 am) Yes it will help. I had mine done on my 2008 (not through the dealer) and paid extra for the SUN-GARD tint at an excellent installer. I think my gas mileage may have improved too since the A/C runs less LOL. Sure wish the rear-side small windows opened like most vans then I would need the A/C even less on the highway.

Replying to: petesmazda5 (Jan 13, 2009 7:55 am) Yes, I have tinted windows on my 08 Grand Touring and it does help with the performance of the A/C being that it protects the interior somewhat from the heat.   Many here have complained about the A/C's performance, but I've never really had a problem with it. I remember in my 06, we used to have to turn it down a lot of times since it just got too cold. I agree that in the middle of summer and when it's really hot the A/C is not the strongest of cars I've experienced, and it could be cooler, but it isn't BAD. I do believed the rear vents on the 08's also helped out. But, I definitely recommend getting tints. Not only do they help, but they make the 5 look even better!
