Contamination of either the windshield or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.

Replacing Windshield Wiper
Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
1. Raise the wiper arm and turn the blade
assembly to expose the plastic locking
clip.
Slide the assembly downward; then lift
it off the arm.
Wiper Blades
•Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect
the wiper ’s ability to clean windows.
• To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, don
’t use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
• When the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition
switch is in the ON position, the
wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:

If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
 If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
 If the windshield is given a
shock.
 If the rain sensor is given a shock
from inside the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or
fingers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing or
servicing your Mazda, make sure the
wiper lever is in the OFF position.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, don ’t move the
wipers by hand.
To prevent damage to the windshield,
don’ t let the wiper arm fall on it.
CAUTION
