2020 MAZDA MODEL CX-30 windshield wipers

Contamination of either the
windshield 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.

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.
Pa i n t C h i p p i n g
Occurrence
Paint chipping occurs when gravel
thrown in the air by another vehicle's
tires 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
The paint chipping zone varies with
the speed of the vehicle. For
example, when traveling at 90 km/h
(56 mph), the paint chipping zone is
50 m (164 ft).
In low temperatures a vehicle's
finish
hardens. This increases the chance of
paint chipping.
Chipped 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

Before lifting the windshield wiper
blades off the windshield, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windshield wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
hood could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windshield
Wiper Blades (page 6-21) section for
the procedure on how to move the
windshield wiper blades to the
service position.
 When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
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 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
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.
