Windshield Wipers and 
Washer

Frozen Washer Fluid:
Using windshield washer fluid 
without anti-freeze protection in 
freezing temperatures is dangerous. 
The washer fluid could freeze on the 
windshield and block your vision. You 
could have an accident. Don

’

t use the 

washer without first warming the 
windshield and never use plain tap 
water.

NOTE

Because heavy ice and snow can jam 
the wiper blades, the wiper motor is 
protected from motor breakdown, 
overheating and possible fire 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 don

’

t resume functioning, consult 

an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon 
as possible.
