Windscreen Wipers and
Washer
The ignition must be switched ON.
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
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 do not resume functioning, consult
an expert repairer, we recommend an
Authorised Mazda Repairer as soon as
possible. Drive to the side of the road
and park off the right-of-way. Wait until
the weather clears before trying to drive
with the wipers inoperative.
