One-touch wipers
For a single wiping cycle, push the lever
up to MIST.
•
Do not shade the rain sensor by
adhering a sticker or a label on the
windshield. Otherwise the rain
sensor will not operate correctly.
•
When the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition
switch is in the ON position, the
wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
• If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched.
• If the windshield above the rain
sensor is wiped with a cloth.
• If the windshield is given a
shock.
• If the rain sensor is given a shock
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.
CAUTION
Rain sensor
NOTE
•
The auto-wiper control may not
operate when the rain sensor
temperature is about –10
°
C (14
°
F)
or lower, or about 85
°
C (185
°
F) or
higher.
•
If the windshield is coated with
water repellent, the rain sensor may
not be able to sense the amount of
rainfall correctly and auto-wiper
control may not operate properly.
•
If dirt or foreign matter (e.g. ice or
matter containing salt water)
adheres to the windshield above the
rain sensor or if the windshield is
iced, it could cause the wipers to
move automatically. However, if the
wipers cannot remove this ice, dirt
or foreign matter, the auto-wiper
control will stop operation. In this
case, pull the wiper lever to the 1 or
2 position for manual operation, or
remove the ice, dirt or foreign
matter by hand to restore the auto-
wiper operation.
