Maintenance and Care
Owner Maintenance
Wiper Blades
CAUTION
 


¾ Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to aff ect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.
 


¾ To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
 


¾ When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
 


¾ If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
 


¾ If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
 


¾ If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object.
 


¾ If the rain sensor is struck with a hand
or other object from inside the vehicle.
  Be careful not to pinch hands or fi ngers
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.

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
 
¾ To prevent damage to the wiper arms
and other components, do not try to
sweep the wiper arm by hand.
 ¾ Do not bend the blade rubber
unnecessarily when replacing it.
Otherwise, the metal stiff ener in the
blade may deform and the windshield
wiper operation may be adversely
aff e c t e d .

N O T E
When raising both windshield wiper arms,
raise the driver's side wiper arm ¿ rst.
When lowering the wiper arms, slowly
lower the wiper arm from the passenger's
side ¿ rst while supporting it with your
hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms
could damage the wiper arm and blade,
and may scratch or crack the windshield.

1. Raise the wiper arm.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the windshield
let the wiper arm down easily, do not
let it slap down on the windshield.

CAUTION
 


¾ When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
 


¾ If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
 


¾ 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

position and the ignition is
switched ON as fi ngers 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.
 


¾ Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could result
in engine-starting problems or damage
to electrical parts.
 


¾ When washing and waxing the vehicle,
be careful not to apply excessive force
to any single area of the vehicle roof.
Otherwise, you could dent the vehicle.

To help protect the ¿ nish from rust
and deterioration, wash your Mazda
thoroughly and frequently, at least once a
month, with lukewarm or cold water.
If the vehicle is washed improperly, the
paint surface could be scratched. Here are
some examples of how scratching could
occur.

Scratches occur on the paint surface when:
 


y The vehicle is washed without ¿ rst
rinsing off dirt and other foreign matter.
 


y The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry,
or dirty cloth.
 


y The vehicle is washed at a car wash that
uses brushes that are dirty or too stiff.
 


y Cleansers or wax containing abrasives
are used.

N O T E
 


y Mazda is not responsible for scratches
caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
 


y Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint ¿ nishes.

To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint ¿ nish:




y Rinse off any dirt or other foreign matter
using lukewarm or cold water before
washing.
 


y Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water
and a soft cloth when washing the
vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
 


y Rub gently when washing or drying the
vehicle.
 


y Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well maintained.
 


y Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.
