Auto-light control*
When the headlight switch is in a position other than and the ignition is
switched ON, the light sensor senses the surrounding lightness or darkness and
automatically turns the headlights and other exterior lights on or off.
CAUTION
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 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 windscreen, be sure the wipers are turned
off completely when
it is particularly tempting to leave the engine running. This is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow.
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.
xThe sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

Windscreen Wipers and
Washer
▼Windscreen Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to
use the wipers.
WARNING
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.

CAUTION
¾Do not shade the rain sensor by
adhering a sticker or a label on the
windscreen. Otherwise the rain
sensor will not operate correctly.
¾When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
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 AUTO 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 OFF to the AUTO 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 the 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
AUTO 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 OFF position other
than when driving the vehicle under
rainy conditions.
xThe auto-wiper control functions can
be turned off.

windscreen wipers are reversing back
to their stowed positions, the next
time the washer
fluid is sprayed is
during the next cycle.
If the washer does not work, inspect

Wiper Blades
▼Wiper Blades
CAUTION
¾Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to
affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
¾To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol,
paraffin,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
¾When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
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.
¾If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
¾If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object.
¾If 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.
¾Before lifting the windscreen wiper
blades
off the windscreen, always
follow the procedure for moving the
windscreen wiper blades. Otherwise,
a wiper blade, wiper arm, or the
bonnet could be damaged.
Refer to the Replacing Windscreen
Wiper Blades (page 6-32) section
for the procedure on how to move
the windscreen wiper blades to the
service position.
Contamination of either the
windscreen 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 Windscreen Wiper
