Auto-light control
When the headlight switch is in the AUTO position and the ignition is switched ON,
the light sensor senses the surrounding li ghtness or darkness and automatically turns
the headlights and other exterior lights on or off.
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. 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 could be damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are
going to clean the windshield, be sure the wipers are turned o ff completely when
it is particularly tempting to leave the en gine running. This is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow.

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
nonfreezing 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
aff ect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
 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 procedur e 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 6-24) section
for the procedure on how to move
the windshield wipe r blades to the
service position.
Contamination of either the
windshield or the blades with foreign
matter can reduce wiper e ffectiveness.
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 o ff 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
effi ciency 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 stiff ener in the

Water Marks
Occurrence
Rain, fog , dew, and even tap water can
contain harmful minerals such as salt
and lime. If moisture containing these
minerals settles on the vehicle and
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 a ffected 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.
