Windscreen Wipers and
Wa s h e r
The ignition must be switched ON to use
the wipers.
WA R N I N G
Use only windscreen washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windscreen, it
will dirty the windscreen, affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.
Only use windscreen washer fluid mixed
with anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions:
Using windscreen washer fluid without
anti-freeze protection in freezing weather
conditions is dangerous as it could freeze
on the windscreen and block your vision
which could cause an accident. In addition,
make sure the windscreen is sufficiently
warmed using the defroster before
spraying the washer fluid.

NOTE
If the windscreen wipers are operated
under cold weather conditions or during
snowfall, they could stop due to
accumulated snow on the windscreen. If
the windscreen wipers stop due to
accumulated snow on the windscreen,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the
wiper switch off, and then remove the
accumulated snow. If the wiper switch is
turned to another position other than OFF,
the wipers will operate. If the wipers do
not operate even though the wiper switch
is turned to a position other than OFF,
consult an expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as
possible.

Auto-wiper control
When the wiper lever is in the
position, the rain sensor senses the amount
of rainfall on the windscreen and turns the
wipers on or off automatically
(off―intermittent―low speed―high
speed).

The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted by turning the switch on the
wiper lever.
From the centre position (normal), rotate
the switch upward for higher sensitivity
(faster response) or rotate it downward for
less sensitivity (slower response).

CAUTION
Do not shade the rain sensor by adhering
a sticker or a label on the windscreen.
Otherwise the rain sensor will not
operate correctly.
When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
 If the windscreen above the rain sensor
is touched or wiped with a cloth.
 If the windscreen is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windscreen when the wiper lever is in the
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 windscreen,
be sure the wipers are turned off
completely (when it is most likely that the
engine is left running) this is particularly
important when clearing ice and snow.
NOTE
•Switching the auto-wiper lever from the
to the position while driving
activates the windscreen wipers once,
after which they operate according to
the rainfall amount.
•The auto-wiper control may not operate
when the rain sensor temperature is
about –10 °C (14 °F) or lower, or about
85 °C (185 °F) or higher.
•If the windscreen is coated with water
repellent, the rain sensor may not be
able to sense the amount of rainfall
correctly and auto-wiper control may
not operate properly.
