NOTE
* If the windscreen 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 (Such as ice or matter containing salt water) adheres to the windscreen above the
rain sensor or if the windscreen 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, set the wiper lever to the low speed position or high speed position for manual operation, or remove
the ice, dirt or foreign matter by hand to restore the auto-wiper operation.
* If the auto-wiper lever is left in the AUTO 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 OFF 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 9-12.
Windscreen Washer
Pull the lever toward you and hold it to spray washer fluid.
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 fluid level (page 6-19).
If the fluid level is normal, consult an expert repairer,
we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
