Wiper Blades
▼Wiper Blades
CAUTION
¾Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
¾To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol,
paraffin,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
¾When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
¾If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched.
¾If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
¾If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object.
¾If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or
fingers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing
or servicing the vehicle, make sure
the wiper lever is in the OFF
position.
¾Before lifting the windscreen wiper
blades
off the windscreen, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windscreen wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
bonnet could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windscreen
Wiper Blades (page 6-32) section
for the procedure on how to move
the windscreen wiper blades to the
service position.
Contamination of either the
windscreen or the blades with foreign
matter can reduce wiper effectiveness.
Common sources are insects, tree sap,
and hot wax treatments used by some
commercial car washes.

If the blades are not wiping properly,
clean the window and blades with a
good cleaner or mild detergent; then
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Repeat if necessary.
▼Replacing Windscreen Wiper
Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well,
the blades are probably worn or
cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION
¾To prevent damaging a windscreen
wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
bonnet, perform the following
procedure.
¾Before lifting the windscreen wiper
blades off the windscreen, always
move them to the service position.
¾When putting the windscreen
wiper blades back on the
windscreen, make sure that they
are in the service position before
switching the ignition ON and
operating the windscreen wipers.
¾Replace with Mazda genuine wiper
blades. If they are replaced with
wiper blades other than a Mazda
genuine product, they may not wipe
with the same
efficiency as the
genuine product.
¾To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do not
try to sweep the wiper arm by hand.

Otherwise, the part may deform and
the wiping performance may lower.

evaporates, the minerals will
concentrate and harden to form white
rings. The rings can damage your
vehicle's finish.
Prevention
It is necessary to wash and wax your
vehicle to preserve its
finish according
to the instructions in this section.
These steps should be taken
immediately after you find water marks
on your vehicle's finish.
Paint Chipping
Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel
thrown in the air by another vehicle's
tyres hits your vehicle.
How to avoid paint chipping
Keeping a safe distance between you
and the vehicle ahead reduces the
chances of having your paint chipped
by
flying gravel.
NOTE
xThe paint chipping zone varies with
the speed of the vehicle. For
example, when travelling at 90 km/h
(56 mph), the paint chipping zone is
50 m (164 ft).
xIn low temperatures a vehicle's
finish
hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
xChipped paint can lead to rust
forming on your Mazda. Before this
happens, repair the damage by using
Mazda touch-up paint according to
the instructions in this section.
Failure to repair the affected area
could lead to serious rusting and
expensive repairs.

Follow all label and container
directions when using a chemical
cleaner or polish. Read all warnings
and cautions.
▼Maintaining the Finish
Washing
CAUTION
¾Before lifting the windscreen wiper
blades off the windscreen, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windscreen wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
bonnet could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windscreen
Wiper Blades (page 6-32) section for
the procedure on how to move the
windscreen wiper blades to the
service position.
¾When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
¾If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
¾If 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 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
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.
