Switches and Controls
Form No. 8S15-EA-03G

the headlights on during daytime
operation.

automatically turn on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position.The ignition switch must be in the ON
position.

Frozen Washer Fluid:
Using windshield washer fluid in
freezing temperatures is dangerous.
The washer fluid could freeze on the
windshield and block your vision.
You could have an accident. Don
’t use
the washer without first warming the
windshield.
NOTE
Because heavy ice and snow can jam
the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown,
overheating and possible fire by a
circuit breaker. This mechanism will
automatically stop operation of the
blades, but only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper
switch and park off the right-of-way,
and remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and
the blades should operate normally. If
they don ’t resume functioning, consult
an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon
as possible.
