SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT AN UNUSUAL SQUEAK NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE IS IDLING, OR JUST AT THE MOMENT WHEN THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. THE NOISE MAY BE AUDIBLE FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE IF ONE OR MORE WINDOWS ARE OPEN, OR IF ANY PASSENGER IS OPENING A DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. DUE TO ENGINE VIBRATION AND A LACK OF SEAL RING LUBRICATION, THE MESH IN THE SEAL RING (A) RIDES IN THE FLARED PORTION (B) OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER (C) RESULTING IN A SLIGHT NOISE FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM PARTS AND THE RESULTING SLIGHT NOISE ARE NORMAL. THIS FRICTION DOES NOT CAUSE BREAKAGE, GAS LEAKAGE, OR OTHER FUNCTIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLES EXHAUST SYSTEM. DURING NORMAL VEHICLE AGING, THE NOISE LEVEL MAY CHANGE AS THE SURFACE OF THE METAL FLANGE DETERIORATES. USU-ALLY THIS NOISE CANNOT BE HEARD WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, HOWEVER THE NOISE MAY BE HEARD IN A QUIET ENVIRON-MENT WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE OR WHEN A DOOR OR WINDOW IS OPEN.

SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN OF CONDENSATION/FOG INSIDE THE FRONT OR REAR COMBINATION LIGHTS. THE RECENT NEW MODELS HAVE BEEN FITTED WITH A CLEAR LENS WHICH CAN CAUSE THE SYMPTOM TO BE MORE NOTICEABLE, HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE LIGHT. THIS CONDENSATION/FOG IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON THAT OCCURS WHEN THERE IS A FAIRLY LARGE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE OF THE LIGHT HOUSING. IT IS NORMAL FOR VERY SMALL WATER DROPS TO APPEAR IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS ON THE LIGHT UNITS WHERE THE AIR IS STAGNANT (CONDENSATION), MAKING THE LENS LOOK WHITISH (FOG). THIS HAPPENS MOSTLY IN THE CORNERS AND NARROW SPACES, AND WILL TYPICALLY CLEAR DURING WARMER AMBIENT TEMPERATURES, OR WHEN THE LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR SOME TIME. EXPLAIN TO THE CUSTOMER THAT THIS IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON AND NOT A QUALITY DEFECT. DO NOT ATTEMPT REPAIRS AS THIS IS CONSIDERED NORMAL, AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. REPLACING THE LIGHT UNIT WILL NOT CORRECT THIS SYMPTOM.

A MUSTY/MILDEW TYPE ODOR MAY COME FROM THE VENTS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING (A/C) SYSTEM IS OPERATING. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN THE A/C IS FIRST TURNED ON. THIS ODOR IS THE RESULT OF MOLD GROWTH IN THE A/C EVAPORATOR/COOLING UNIT WHICH IS CAUSED BY CONDENSATION, DUST, AND POLLEN WITHIN THE COOLING UNIT. THIS CONDITION IS USUALLY WORSE DURING HIGH HUMIDITY CONDITIONS. MAZDA AIR COOLING COIL COATING IS AVAILABLE TO ENCAPSULATE THE MOLD TO REDUCE ODORS. IF THE PRODUCT IS PROPERLY APPLIED, IT CAN EFFECTIVELY REDUCE THE MUSTY/MILDEW ODOR FOR UP TO THREE YEARS.NOTE:SEE PARTS INFORMATION FOR MAZDA AIR COOLING COIL COATING AND KIT PART NUMBERS.
