2017 MAZDA MODEL CX-5 washer fluid

Rocking the Vehicle
WA R N I N G
Do not spin the wheels at high speed, and
do not allow anyone to stand behind a
wheel when pushing the vehicle:
When the vehicle is stuck, spinning the
wheels at high speed is dangerous. The
spinning tyre could overheat and explode.
This could cause serious injuries.
CAUTION
Too much rocking may cause engine
overheating, transaxle failure, and tyre
damage.
If you must rock the vehicle to free it from
snow, sand or mud, depress the accelerator
slightly and slowly move the shift lever/
selector lever from 1 (D) to R.
Winter Driving
Carry emergency gear, including tyre
chains, window scraper, flares, a small
shovel, jumper leads, and a small bag of
sand or salt.
Ask an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer to check the
following:
•Have the proper ratio of antifreeze in the
radiator.
Refer to Engine Coolant on page 6-29.
•Inspect the ba ttery and its leads. Cold
reduces battery capacity.
•Use an engine oil appropriate for the
lowest ambient temperatures that the
vehicle will be driven in (page 6-25).
•Inspect the ignition system for damage
and loose connections.
•Use washer fluid made with
antifreeze―but do not use engine
coolant antifreeze for washer fluid (page
6-32).
NOTE
•Remove snow before driving. Snow left
on the windscreen is dangerous as it
could obstruct vision.
•Do not apply excessive force to a
window scraper when removing ice or
frozen snow on the mirror glass and
windscreen.
•Never use warm or hot water for
removing snow or ice from windows and
mirrors as it could result in the glass
cracking.

▼Lane-Change Signals
Move the lever halfway toward the
direction of the lane change―until the
indicator flashes― and hold it there. It
will return to the off position when
released.
▼Three-Flash Turn Signal
After releasing the direction indicator
lever, the direction indicator flashes three
times. The operation can be cancelled by
moving the lever in the direction opposite
to which it was operated.
NOTE
The three-flash turn signal function can be
switched to operable/inoperable using the
personalisation function.
Refer to Personalisation Features on page
9-12.
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.

•If dirt or foreign matter (Such as ice or
matter containing salt water) adheres to
the windscreen above the rain sensor or
if the windscreen is iced, it could cause
the wipers to move automatically.
However, if the wipers cannot remove
this ice, dirt or foreign matter, the
auto-wiper control will stop operation.
In this case, set the wiper lever to the
low speed position or high speed
position for manual operation, or
remove the ice, dirt or foreign matter by
hand to restore the auto-wiper
operation.
•If the auto-wiper lever is left in the
position, the wipers could operate
automatically from the effect of strong
light sources, electromagnetic waves, or
infrared light because the rain sensor
uses an optical sensor. It is
recommended that the auto-wiper lever
be switched to the
position other
than when driving the vehicle under
rainy conditions.
•The auto-wiper control functions can be
turned off.
Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-12.
▼ Windscreen Washer
Pull the lever toward
you and hold it to
spray washer fluid.

Washer
OFF
NOTE
If the windscreen washer is turned on
when the windscreen wipers are not
operating, the windscreen wipers operate
a few times.
If the washer does no
t work, inspect the
fluid level (page 6-32). If the fluid level
is normal, consult an expert repairer, we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.

double flick the wiper lever.

Washer
OFF
NOTE
•When the windscreen washer is
operated for the first time after turning
on the headlights, the headlight washers
operate automatically.
•If air enters the headlight washer fluid
pipe under conditions such as when the
vehicle is brand-new or after an empty
washer tank is replenished with washer
fluid, washer fluid will not spray even
when the wiper lever is operated. If this
occurs, perform the following
procedure:
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn on the headlights.
3. Double flick the wiper lever several
times until the washer fluid sprays.
