NOTEBecause heavy ice and snow can
jam the wiper blades, the wiper
motor is protected by a circuit
breaker. This mechanism will
automatically stop operation of the
blades, but only for about 5
minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper
switch and park off the
right-of-way. After 5 minutes, turn
on the switch and the blades
should operate normally. If they
don’ t, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.

MaintenanceBecause your Mazda is a large piece of intricate machinery, it needs regular care in the form of maintenance
and servicing. Many owners prefer to do much of this work themselves.
So Section 8 has been prepared as a guide for the operator who wants to self-service such minor jobs\
as
changing the engine oil, replacing bulbs and wiper blades, charging the battery, and rotating the tires. All
maintenance schedules are included, along with instructions on how to make regular inspections of such things
as fluid levels.Introduction 8- 2

 Maintaining Wiper Blades
CAUTION

Hot waxes applied by automatic
car washes have been known to
affect the cleanability of windows.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.
CAUTION
!
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, don’
t use gasoline,
kerosene, paint thinner, or other
solvents on or near them.
