raining.
Ice, fog, snow, frost, rainfall, dirt, or foreign matter such as a plastic bag is stuck on
the windshield.
Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high pro fi le. When driving next to walls with no patterning (including fences and lon\
gitudinally
striped walls).
The taillights of the vehicle ahead are turned off. A vehicle is outside the illumination range of the headlights. The vehicle is making a sharp turn, or ascending or descending a steep s\
lope. Entering or exiting a tunnel. Heavy luggage is loaded causing the vehicle to tilt. Strong light is shone at the front of the vehicle (back light or high-beam light from on-
coming vehicles).
There are many light emitters on the vehicle ahead. When the vehicle ahead is not equipped with taillights or the taillights\
are turned off at
nighttime.
Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).

manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
When towing a malfunctioning vehicle. The vehicle is driven with tires having signi fi cantly different wear. The vehicle is driven on down slopes or bumpy roads. There are water puddles on the road. The surroundings are dark such as during the night, early evening, or early morning,
or in a tunnel or indoor parking lot.
The illumination brightness of the headlights is reduced or the headlight illumination
is weakened due to dirt or a deviated optical axis.
The target object enters the blind spot of the Forward Sensing Camera (FSC). A person or object bursts onto the road from the shoulder or cuts right in front of you. You change lanes and approach a vehicle ahead. When driving extremely close to the target object. Tire chains or a temporary spare tire is installed. The vehicle ahead has a special shape. For example, a vehicle towing a t\
railer house
or a boat, or a vehicle carrier carrying a vehicle with its front pointed rearward.

Washing
CAUTION
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 windshield above the rain sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a hand or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is
switched ON as fi ngers 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 (when it is most likely
that the engine is left running) this is
particularly important when clearing ice
and snow.
Do not spray water in the engine compartment. Otherwise, it could result
in engine-starting problems or damage
to electrical parts.
When washing and waxing the vehicle, be careful not to apply excessive force
to any single area of the vehicle roof.
Otherwise, you could dent the vehicle.
To help protect the fi nish from rust
and deterioration, wash your Mazda
thoroughly and frequently, at least once a
month, with lukewarm or cold water.
If the vehicle is washed improperly, the
paint surface could be scratched. Here are
some examples of how scratching could
occur.
Scratches occur on the paint surface when:
The vehicle is washed without fi rst
rinsing off dirt and other foreign matter.
The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry,
or dirty cloth.
The vehicle is washed at a car wash that
uses brushes that are dirty or too stiff.
Cleansers or wax containing abrasives
are used.
NOTE
Mazda is not responsible for scratches
caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint fi nishes.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint fi nish:
Rinse off any dirt or other foreign matter
using lukewarm or cold water before
washing.
Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water
and a soft cloth when washing the
vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
Rub gently when washing or drying the
vehicle.
Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well maintained.
Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.

Active Driving Display Maintenance *
Windshield type
The dust-proof sheet has a coating. When
cleaning, do not use a hard or rough-
surface cloth, or cleaning detergent. In
addition, if a chemical solvent gets on
the active driving display, wipe it off
immediately. The dust-proof sheet could
be damaged and the surface coating could
be scratched. Use a fi ne, soft cloth such as
those used for cleaning eyeglasses.
NOTE
Use of compressed air when cleaning the
dust-proof sheet is recommended.
Auto fl ip-up type
The combiner and mirror surface have
a special coating. When cleaning it, do
not use a hard cloth, a cloth with a rough
surface, or cleaning detergent. Use a fi ne-
textured, soft cloth. .
If a chemical solvent gets on the combiner
or mirror surface, wipe it off immediately.
Otherwise, they could be damaged and the
surface coating could be scratched.
Cleaning the Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with an
oily, greasy, or waxy fi lm, clean them with
glass cleaner. Follow the directions on the
container.
CAUTION
Do not scrape or scratch the inside of the window glass. It could damage the
thermal fi laments and the antenna lines.
When washing the inside of the window glass, use a soft cloth dampened in
lukewarm water, gently wiping the
thermal fi laments and the antenna lines.
Use of glass cleaning products could damage the thermal fi laments and the
antenna lines.
Cleaning the Floor Mats
Rubber fl oor mats should be cleaned with
mild soap and water only.
WARNING
Do not use rubber cleaners, such as tire
cleaner or tire shine, when cleaning
rubber fl oor mats: Cleaning the rubber fl oor mats with
rubber cleaning products makes the
fl oor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when
depressing the accelerator, brake, or
clutch (Manual transaxle) pedal or
when getting in or out of the vehicle.
After removing the fl oor mats for cleaning,
always reinstall them securely (page
3-51 ).
