CAUTION
      When the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
     
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a
cloth.
      If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
  Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is
switched ON as fi ngers could be pinched
or the wipers and wiper blades damaged
when the wipers activate automatically.
 
If you are going to clean the windshield,
be sure the wipers are turned off
completely (when it is most likely
that the engine is left running) this is
particularly important when clearing ice
and snow.
      Do not spray water in the engine
compartment. Otherwise, it could result
in engine-starting problems or damage
to electrical parts.
     
When washing and waxing the vehicle,
be careful not to apply excessive force to
any single area of the vehicle roof or the
antenna. Otherwise, you could dent the
vehicle or damage the antenna.
To help protect the
fi
nish from rust
and deterioration, wash your Mazda
thoroughly and frequently, at least once a
month, with lukewarm or cold water.
If the vehicle is washed improperly, the
paint surface could be scratched. Here are
some examples of how scratching could
occur.
Scratches occur on the paint surface when:
     
The vehicle is washed without
fi
rst
rinsing off dirt and other foreign matter.
     
The vehicle is washed with a rough, dry,
or dirty cloth.
     
The vehicle is washed at a car wash that
uses brushes that are dirty or too stiff.
     
Cleansers or wax containing abrasives
are used.
NOTE
     
Mazda is not responsible for scratches
caused by automatic car washes or
improper washing.
     
Scratches are more noticeable on
vehicles with darker paint
fi
nishes.
To minimize scratches on the vehicle's
paint
fi
nish:
     
Rinse off any dirt or other foreign matter
using lukewarm or cold water before
washing.
     
Use plenty of lukewarm or cold water
and a soft cloth when washing the
vehicle. Do not use a nylon cloth.
     
Rub gently when washing or drying the
vehicle.
     
Take your vehicle only to a car wash
that keeps its brushes well maintained.
     
Do not use abrasive cleansers or wax
that contain abrasives.
