When starting to drive the vehicle, the lights that are turned o ff turn on again.
Auto-light control
When the power switch is switched ON, the light sensor detects the brightness of
the surrounding area and the headlights and the exterior lights turn on/off
automatically according to the surrounding brightness. When the power switch is
switched OFF, the headlights an d the exterior lights turn off automatically.
CAUTION
Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windshield.
Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.
The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. If the wiper
lever is in the AUTO position with the power switch switched ON, the wipers may
operate automatically. Be careful not to pinch your hand or fingers. Otherwise, it
could cause injury or damage to the windshield wipers. When cleaning the
windshield (especially when removing snow or ice with the power switch switched
ON (EV system on)), make sure that the wiper switch is turned o ff. If the wipers
are operated, it could cause a problem wi th the windshield wiper or damage the
wiper blade.
NOTE
The headlights and other exte rior 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 cont inuously dark for several minutes such as
inside long tunnels, traffi c jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.

If the wipers are operated while the
glass is dry, the glass could be
scratched and the wiper rubber
damaged. When the glass is dry,
spray washer fluid before operating
the wipers.
If the amount of washer fluid spray is
insuffi cient, do not use the washer
switch. If the washer switch
continues to be operated with no
washer fluid being sprayed, it could
lead to pump damage.
NOTE
If the windshield wipers are operated
under cold weather conditions or
during snowfall, they could stop due to
accumulated snow on the windshield.
If the windshield wipers stop due to
accumulated snow on the windshield,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn
the wiper switch o ff, 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer 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 windshield
and turns the wipers on or o ff
automatically (off ―intermittent―low
speed ―high speed).
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted by turning the switch on the
wiper lever.
From the center position (normal),
rotate the switch upward (+ direction)
for higher sensitivity (faster response)
or rotate it downward (- direction) for

Antilock Brake System(ABS)
▼Antilock Brake System (ABS)
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed of each wheel. If
one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing
and reapplying that wheel's brake.
The driver will feel a slight vibration in
the brake pedal and may hear a
chattering noise from the brake system.
This is normal ABS system operation.
Continue to depress the brake pedal
without pumping the brakes.
The warning light turns on when the
system has a malfunction.
Refer to ABS Warning Indication/
Warning Light on page 7-26.
WARNING
Do not rely on ABS as a substitute for
safe driving:
The ABS cannot compensate for unsafe
and reckless driving , excessive speed,
tailgating (following another vehicle
too closely), driving on ice and snow,
and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction
and road contact because of water on
the road surface). You can still have an
accident.
NOTE
Braking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these
conditions because the tires will
build up a wedge of surface layer
when the wheels skid.
You might hear the sound of a motor
when starting the EV system or
immediately after starting to drive
the vehicle. However, it does not
indicate a problem.
