CAUTION
ØDo not shade the light sensor by
adhering a sticker or a label on
the windshield. Otherwise the light
sensor will not operate correctly.
ØThe light sensor also works as a
rain sensor for the auto-wiper
control. Keep hands and scrapers
clear of the windshield when the
wiper lever is in the AUTO position
and the ignition is switched ON as
fingers could be pinched or the
wipers and wiper blades damaged
when the wipers activate
automatically. If you are going to
clean the windshield, be sure the
wipers are turned off completely
― this is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow ―
when it is particularly tempting to
leave the engine running. NOTE
lThe headlights, other exterior lights and
dashboard illumination may not turn off
immediately even if the surrounding area
becomes well-lit because the light sensor
determines that it is nighttime if the
surrounding area is continuously dark for
several minutes such as inside long tunnels,
traffic jams inside tunnels, or in indoor
parking lots.
In this case, the light turns off if the light
switch is turned to the OFF position.
lThe dashboard illumination can be
adjusted by rotating the knob in the
instrument cluster. Also, the day/night mode
can be changed by pressing the knob. To
adjust the brightness of the dashboard
illumination: Refer to Dashboard
Illumination on page 5-32.
lThe sensitivity of the AUTO lights may be
changed by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
Refer to Personalization Features on page
10-8.
