Windshield wiper:Rotate the end
of the control away from you to
increase the speed of the wipers;
rotate towards you to decrease the
speed of the wipers.
Note:Heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades and overheat the
wiper motor. If this happens, the motor will automatically stop the
operation of the blades for a short period of time. If this happens while
driving, turn off the wiper switch, park off the right-of-way, and remove
the snow and ice. After a short period of time, turn the switch on and
the blades should operate normally. If they don’t resume functioning,
consult an authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.

wipers will swipe three times with
washer fluid.
•a long press and hold: the wipers and washer fluid will be activated for
up to ten seconds.
Courtesy wipe feature:One extra wipe will occur a few seconds after
washing the front window to clear any excess washer fluid remaining on
the windshield.
Note:Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to overheat. Check the washer fluid
level frequently. Do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.
This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield,
always use the windshield washer. In freezing weather, be sure the wiper
