If tar or grease spots are present, use Extra Strength Tar and Road Oil
Remover (0000–77–410E-01), available at your authorized Mazda
dealer.

WINDOWS AND WIPER BLADES

The windshield, rear and side windows and the wiper blades should be

cleaned regularly. If the wipers do not wipe properly, substances on the

vehicle’s glass or the wiper blades may be the cause. These may include

hot wax treatments used by commercial car washes, water repellant

coatings, tree sap, or other organic contamination; these contaminants

may cause squeaking or chatter noise from the blades, and streaking and

smearing of the windshield. To clean these items, follow these tips:

The windshield, rear windows and side windows may be cleaned with

a non-abrasive cleaner such as Ultra-Clear Spray Glass Cleaner

(0000–77–400E-01 and 0000–77–400E-02), available from your

authorized Mazda dealer.

The wiper blades can be cleaned with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or a

windshield washer concentrate. This washer fluid concentrate contains

a special solution in addition to alcohol which helps to remove the hot

wax deposited on the wiper blade and windshield from automated car

wash facilities. Be sure to replace wiper blades when they appear

worn or do not function properly.

Do not use abrasives, as they may cause scratches.

Do not use fuel, kerosene, or paint thinner to clean any parts.

INSTRUMENT PANEL / INTERIOR TRIM AND CLUSTER LENS

Clean the interior trim areas and instrument panel with a damp cloth,

then with a clean, dry cloth, or use Mazda Deluxe Leather and Vinyl

Cleaner (0000-77-430E-15).

Avoid cleaners or polish that increase the gloss of the upper portion of

the instrument panel. The dull finish in this area helps protect the

driver from undesirable windshield reflection.

Do not use household or glass cleaners, as these may damage the

finish.

WARNING:

Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents

when cleaning the steering wheel, instrument panel or interior

trim areas to avoid contamination of the airbag systems.
