Auto-light control*
When the headlight switch is in a position other than and the ignition is
switched ON, the light sensor senses th e surrounding lightness or darkness and
automatically turns the headlights an d 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 off completely when
it is particularly tempting to leave the engine running. This is particularly important
when clearing ice and snow.
NOTE
The 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 cont inuously dark for several minutes such as
inside long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.
If the headlight switch and the windshield wiper switch are in AUTO, and the
wipers are operated at low or high speed by the auto wiper control for several
seconds, bad weather conditions are determined and the headlights may be
turned on.
The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
