Windscreen Wipers And Washer - Mazda 3 Owner's Manual

Windscreen Wipers and
Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use
the wipers.
WARNING
Use only windscreen washer uid or
plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer
uid 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 uid
mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions:
Using windscreen washer uid 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 suf ciently warmed
using the defroster before spraying the
washer uid.
Switches and Controls
NOTE
If the windscreen wipers are operated
under cold weather conditions or
during snowfall, they could stop due to
accumulated snow on the windscreen.
If the windscreen wipers stop due to
accumulated snow on the windscreen,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the
wiper switch off, and then remove the
accumulated snow. If the wiper switch
is turned to another position other than
OFF, the wipers will operate. If the
wipers do not operate even though the
wiper switch is turned to a position other
than OFF, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer as soon as possible.
