Body Lubrication
▼Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks,
should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed. Use a
non-freezing lubricant on locks during
cold weather.

Make sure the hood's secondary latch
keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.
Wiper Blades
▼ Wiper Blades
CAUTION

Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
 An operation malfunction may occur
or the wiper
effectiveness may be
reduced if a water-repellent coating
is used.
 To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
 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.
 If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
 If the windshield is struck with a
hand or other object.
 If 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.
 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 6-23) section
for the procedure on how to move
the windshield wiper blades to the
service position.
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.
▼ Replacing Windshield Wiper
Blades
When the wipers no longer clean well,
the blades are probably worn or
cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION

To prevent damaging a windshield
wiper blade, wiper arm, or the hood,
perform the following procedure.
 Before lifting the windshield wiper
blades off the windshield, always
move them to the service position.
 When putting the windshield
wiper blades back on the
windshield, make sure that they
are in the service position before
switching the ignition ON and
operating the windshield wipers.
 Replace 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.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms and other components, do not
try to sweep the wiper arm by hand.
 Do not bend the blade rubber
unnecessarily when replacing it.
Otherwise, the metal stiffener in the
blade may deform and the
windshield wiper operation may be
adversely affected.
 Do not hold a wiper blade by its end
when raising the wiper arm.
Otherwise, the part may deform and
the wiping performance may lower.
 Forcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and
blade, and may scratch or crack the
windshield.
NOTE
You can replace the wiper blades
yourself, however you cannot replace
the wiper arms.
If you want to replace the wiper arms,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

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 theMIST 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.

WARNING
Dry off brakes that have become wet
by driving slowly, releasing the
accelerator pedal and lightly applying
the brakes several times until the
brake performance returns to normal:
Driving with wet brakes is dangerous.
Increased stopping distance or the
vehicle pulling to one side when
braking could result in a serious
accident. Light braking will indicate
whether the brakes have been
affected.
When using an automatic car wash
Retract the door mirrors.The automatic car wash brushes
could reduce the paint luster or
hasten paint deterioration.
When using a high water pressure car
wash
High water temperature and high
water pressure car washers are
available depending on the type of car
wash machine. If the car washer nozzle
is put too close to the vehicle, the
force of the spray could damage or
deform the molding, affect the
sealability of parts, and allow water to
penetrate the interior. Keep a sufficient
space (30 cm (12 in) or more)
between the nozzle and the vehicle. In
addition, do not spend too much time
spraying the same area of the vehicle,
and be very careful when spraying
between gaps in doors and around
windows.
Waxing
Your vehicle needs to be waxed when
water no longer beads on the finish.
Always wash and dry the vehicle before
waxing it. In addition to the vehicle
body, wax the metal trim to maintain
its luster.

1. Use wax which contains no
abrasives.
Wax containing abrasives will
remove paints and could damage
bright metal parts.
2. Use a good grade of natural wax for metallic, mica, and solid colors.
3. When waxing, coat evenly with the sponge supplied or a soft cloth.
4. Wipe off the wax with a soft cloth.
NOTE
A spot remover to remove oil, tar, and
similar materials will usually also take
off the wax. Rewax these areas even if
the rest of the vehicle does not need it.
▼ Repairing Damage to the Finish
Deep scratches or chips on the finish
should be repaired promptly. Exposed
metal quickly rusts and can lead to
major repairs.
CAUTION
If your Mazda is damaged and needs
metal parts repaired or replaced, make
sure the body shop applies
anti-corrosion materials to all parts,
both repaired and new. This will
prevent them from rusting.

▼Cleaning the Window Interiors
If the windows become covered with
an oily, greasy, or waxy film, clean
them with glass cleaner. Follow the
directions on the container.
CAUTION

Do not scrape or scratch the inside
of the window glass. It could
damage the thermal filaments and
the antenna lines.
 When washing the inside of the
window glass, use a soft cloth
dampened in lukewarm water, gently
wiping the thermal filaments and the
antenna lines.
Use of glass cleaning products could
damage the thermal filaments and
the antenna lines.
▼ Cleaning the Floor Mats
Rubber floor mats should be cleaned
with mild soap and water only.
WARNING
Do not use rubber cleaners, such as
tire cleaner or tire shine, when
cleaning rubber floor mats:
Cleaning the rubber floor mats with
rubber cleaning products makes the
floor mats slippery.
This may cause an accident when
depressing the accelerator or brake
pedal or when getting in or out of the
vehicle.
After removing the floor mats for
cleaning, always reinstall them securely
(page 3-48).
