Auto-light control*
When the headlight switch is in a position other than and the ignition is
switched ON, the light sensor senses the surrounding lightness or darkness and
automatically turns the headlights and other exterior lights on or off.
CAUTION
¾Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windscreen.
Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.
¾The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. 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 could be 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 particularly tempting to leave the engine running. This is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow.
NOTE
xThe headlights and other exterior lights may not turn off immediately even if the
surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor determines that it is
night time if the surrounding area is continuously dark for several minutes such as
inside long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
xThe sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

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.

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.

¾Do not bend the blade rubber
unnecessarily when replacing it.
Otherwise, the metal stiffener in the
blade may deform and the
windscreen wiper operation may be
adversely affected.
¾Do not hold a wiper blade by its end
when raising the wiper arm.
Otherwise, the part may deform and
the wiping performance may lower.
NOTE
xYou can replace the wiper blades
yourself, however you cannot replace
the wiper arms.
If you want to replace the wiper
arms, consult an expert repairer (we
recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer).
xForcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and
blade, and may scratch or crack the
windscreen.
Replace the wiper blades using the
following procedure.
1. Move the wipers to the service
positions using the following
procedure.
a) Switch the ignition ON.
b) Switch the ignition OFF.
c) Press up the wiper switch to the
MIST position 2 times within 30
seconds after switching the
ignition OFF.
When the procedure is
completed, the wipers operate
and they stop at the service
positions.
2. Raise the wiper arms.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the
windscreen let the wiper arm down
easily, do not let it slap down on
the windscreen.
3. Slide the blade component in the
direction of the arrow while
pressing the wiper arm tab to
remove the blade component from
the wiper arm.

4. Pull the blade rubber in the
direction of the arrow and slide it
to a position where the blade
holder groove can be checked.

5. Pull the end of the blade rubber
from the blade holder groove in the
direction of the arrow and remove

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.
