Windshield Wipers and Washer

The ignition must be switched ON to

use the wipers.

WARNING

Use only windshield washer 

fl

uid or

plain water in the reservoir:

Using radiator antifreeze as washer

fl

uid is dangerous. If sprayed on the

windshield, it will dirty the windshield,

a

ff

ect your visibility, and could result in

an accident.

Only use windshield washer 

fl

uid

mixed with anti-freeze protection in

freezing weather conditions:

Using windshield washer 

fl

uid without

anti-freeze protection in freezing

weather conditions is dangerous as it

could freeze on the windshield and

block your vision which could cause an

accident. In addition, make sure the

windshield is su

ffi

ciently warmed using

the defroster before spraying the

washer 

fl

uid.

CAUTION



When the wipers are not used during

freezing temperatures or for a long

time, the wiper rubber may adhere

to the glass. If the wipers are

operated while adhered to the glass,

it could damage the wiper rubber

and motor.



If the wipers are operated while the

glass is dry, the glass could be

scratched and the wiper rubber

damaged. When the glass is dry,

spray washer 

fl

uid before operating

the wipers.



If the amount of washer 

fl

uid spray is

insu

ffi

cient, do not use the washer

switch. If the washer switch

continues to be operated with no

washer 

fl

uid being sprayed, it could

lead to pump damage.

NOTE

If the windshield wipers are operated

under cold weather conditions or

during snowfall, they could stop due to

accumulated snow on the windshield.

If the windshield wipers stop due to

accumulated snow on the windshield,

park the vehicle in a safe place, turn

the wiper switch o

ff

, 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon

as possible.
