When Driving
Switches and Controls
NOTE
If the auto-wiper lever is left in the
position, the wipers could
operate automatically from the effect
of strong light sources,
electromagnetic waves, or infrared
light because the rain sensor uses an
optical sensor. It is recommended
that the auto-wiper lever be switched
to the position other than when
driving the vehicle under rainy
conditions.
The auto-wiper control functions can
be turned off.
Refer to Personalisation Features on
page 9-10 .

Windscreen Washer
Pull the lever toward you and hold it to
spray washer uid.
NOTE
If the windscreen washer is turned
on when the windscreen wipers are
not operating, the windscreen wipers
operate a few times.
If the washer does not work, inspect the
uid level (page 6-23 ). If the uid level
is normal, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda
Repairer.
NOTE
(With headlight washers)
When the headlights are on, the
headlight washers operate automatically
