Windscreen Wipers and
Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use
the wipers.
WARNING
Use only windscreen washer fluid or plain
water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is
dangerous. If sprayed on the windscreen, it
will dirty the windscreen, affect your
visibility, and could result in an accident.
Only use windscreen washer fluid mixed
with anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions:
Using windscreen washer fluid without
anti-freeze protection in freezing weather
conditions is dangerous as it could freeze
on the windscreen and block your vision
which could cause an accident. In addition,
make sure the windscreen is sufficiently
warmed using the defroster before
spraying the washer fluid.
NOTE
If the windscreen wipers are operated
under cold weather conditions or during
snowfall, they could stop due to
accumulated snow on the windscreen. If
the windscreen wipers stop due to
accumulated snow on the windscreen,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the
wiper switch off, 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 expert repairer, we recommend
an Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as
possible.
