MULTI-FUNCTION LEVER
Windshield wiper:
Rotate the end
of the control away from you to
increase the speed of the wipers;
rotate towards you to decrease the
speed of the wipers.
Note:
Heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades and overheat the
wiper motor. If this happens, the motor will automatically stop the
operation of the blades for a short period of time. If this happens while
driving, turn off the wiper switch, park off the right-of-way, and remove
the snow and ice. After a short period of time, turn the switch on and
the blades should operate normally. If they don’t resume functioning,
consult an authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.
Windshield washer:
Push the end
of the stalk:
•
briefly: causes a single swipe of
the wipers without washer fluid.
•
a quick push and hold: the wipers
will swipe three times with
washer fluid.
•
a long push and hold: the wipers and washer fluid will be activated for
up to ten seconds.
Courtesy wipe feature:
One extra wipe will occur a few seconds after
washing the front window to clear any excess washer fluid remaining on
the windshield.
Note:
Do not operate the washer when the washer reservoir is empty.
This may cause the washer pump to overheat. Check the washer fluid
level frequently. Do not operate the wipers when the windshield is dry.
This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades and cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Before operating the wiper on a dry windshield,
always use the windshield washer. In freezing weather, be sure the wiper
blades are not frozen to the windshield before operating the wipers.
Windshield wiper rainlamp feature (if equipped with Autolamp)
When the windshield wipers are turned on during daylight, and the
headlamp control is in the autolamp position, the exterior lamps will turn
on after a brief delay and will remain on until the wipers are turned off.
