Water Marks; Paint Chipping; Occurrence; Prevention - Mazda CX-5 2018 Owner's Manual

NOTE
The paint chipping zone varies with the
•
speed of the vehicle. For example, when
travelling at 90 km/h (56 mph), the paint
chipping zone is 50 m (164 ft).
In low temperatures a vehicle's finish
•
hardens. This increases the chance of

paint chipping.

Chipped paint can lead to rust forming
•
on your Mazda. Before this happens,
repair the damage by using Mazda
touch-up paint according to the
instructions in this section. Failure to
repair the affected area could lead to
serious rusting and expensive repairs.

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 windscreen above the rain sensor
is touched or wiped with a cloth.
If the windscreen is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle.
Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windscreen when the wiper lever is in the
position and the ignition is
switched ON as fingers could be pinched
or the wipers and wiper blades damaged
when the wipers activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the windscreen,
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.
