Body Lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door and bonnet hinges and locks, should
be lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather.
Make sure the bonnet's secondary latch
keeps the bonnet from opening when the
primary latch is released.
Wiper Blades
CAUTION
l
Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect
the wiper's ability to clean windows.
l
To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, do not use petrol, paraffin,
paint thinner, or other solvents on or
near them.
l
When the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the wipers may move
automatically in the following cases:
l
If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is touched.
l
If the windscreen above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
l
If the windscreen is struck with a
hand or other object.
l
If the rain sensor is struck with a
hand or other object from inside
the vehicle.
Be careful not to pinch hands or
fingers as it may cause injury, or
damage the wipers. When washing
or servicing your Mazda, make sure
the wiper lever is in the OFF
position.
Contamination of either the windscreen or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.
