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
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 Š this is particularly important when clearing
ice and snow Š when it is particularly tempting to leave the engine running.
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.
In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the
position.
xThe sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.

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.

¾When the wiper lever is in the
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
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
to the 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 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
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
position other
than when driving the vehicle under
rainy conditions.
xThe auto-wiper control functions can be
turned off.

NOTE
xWhen the windscreen washer is
operated for the first time after turning
on the headlights, the headlight washers
operate automatically.
xIf air enters the headlight washer fluid
pipe under conditions such as when the
vehicle is brand-new or after an empty
washer tank is replenished with washer
fluid, washer fluid will not spray even
when the wiper lever is operated. If this
occurs, perform the following
procedure:
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn on the headlights.
3. Double flick the wiper lever several
times until the washer fluid sprays.
