Windshield Washer

The ignition must be in ON or ACC.

Push the end of the lever and hold it to
spray washer fluid. In the OFF position,
they will automatically make a few wipes
after you release the lever.

If the washer doesn’t work, inspect the
fluid level (page 8-36). If it’s OK, con-
sult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

Do not try to clean the windshield when
the washer fluid container is empty or
activate the washers at any time for
more than 15 seconds continuously. This
could damage the washer pump system.

NOTE

The addition of shields to the front
of the vehicle, as used to deflect
bugs, may also adversely affect the
washer system from delivering fluid
to the windshield. Devices such as
bug shields are not recommended for
your Mazda vehicle.

WARNING

Freezing Washer Fluid:
In freezing temperatures, windshield
washer fluid could freeze on the
windshield and block your vision,
which could easily cause an acci-
dent. Don’t use the washer without
first warming the windshield.
