When Driving

Switches and Controls

   NOTE

  Because heavy ice and snow can jam the 
wiper blades, the wiper motor is protected 
from motor breakdown, overheating 
and possible fi re 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, and remove 
the snow and ice.
  After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and 
the blades should operate normally. If 
they do not resume functioning, consult 
an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as 
possible. Drive to the side of the road and 
park off the right-of-way. Wait until the 
weather clears before trying to drive with 
the wipers inoperative.
