Windscreen Wipers and
Washer
▼Windscreen Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to
use the wipers.
WARNING
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 AUTO
position, the rain sensor senses the
amount of rainfall on the windscreen
and turns the wipers on or off
automatically
(offŠintermittentŠlow
speedŠhigh 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).

Switches and Controls

CAUTION
¾Do not shade the rain sensor by
adhering a sticker or a label on the
windscreen. Otherwise the rain
sensor will not operate correctly.
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.
NOTE
xSwitching the auto-wiper lever from
the OFF to the AUTO position while
driving activates the windscreen
wipers once, after which they
operate according to the rainfall
amount.
xThe 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.
xIf the windscreen is coated with
water repellent, the rain sensor may
not be able to sense the amount of
rainfall correctly and the auto-wiper
control may not operate properly.
xIf 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.
xIf the auto-wiper lever is left in the
AUTO 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 OFF position other
than when driving the vehicle under
rainy conditions.
xThe auto-wiper control functions can
be turned off.

time the washer
fluid is sprayed is

level is normal, consult an expert
repairer (we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer).
