Mazda 6 Owners Manual: Control Switches

This dial controls temperature. Turn it clockwise for hot and counterclockwise for cold.

NOTE

When the mode is set to or
with the fan control dial in a

Fan control dial

This dial allows variable fan speeds.

The fan has seven speeds.

Mode selector dial

  dial to an intermediate position if you want to split the airflow between the two modes.

  floor vent is less than that of the position.
