Windshield Wipers and
Washer

The ignition must be switched ON.

WARNING

Use only windshield washer fluid or
plain water in the reservoir:

Using radiator antifreeze as washer
fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the
windshield, affect your visibility, and
could result in an accident.

Only use windshield washer fluid
mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions:

Using windshield washer fluid
without anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions is
dangerous as it could freeze on the
windshield and block your vision
which could cause an accident.
In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed
using the defroster before spraying
the washer fluid.

NOTE

Because heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper
blades, the wiper motor is protected from
motor breakdown, overheating and possible
fire by a circuit breaker. This mechanism will
automatically stop operation of the blades, but
only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and
park off the right-of-way, and remove the snow
and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the
blades should operate normally. If they do not
resume functioning, consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer as soon as possible. Drive to
the side of the road and park off the right-of-
way. Wait until the weather clears before trying
to drive with the wipers inoperative.

qWindshield Wipers

Gate operator/Canadian Programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to

“time-out” (or quit)

after several seconds of transmission

―

which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to

“time-out” in the same

manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
by using the

“Programming” procedures

(regardless of where you live), replace

“Programming HomeLink” step 2 with
the following:

NOTE

If programming a garage door opener or gate
operator, it is advised to unplug the device
during the

“cycling” process to prevent

possible overheating.

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
button while you press and release

―

every two seconds (

“cycle”) your hand-

held transmitter until the frequency signal
has successfully been accepted by
HomeLink. (The indicator light will flash
slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with

“Programming” step 3 to complete.

Operating the HomeLink System

Press the programmed HomeLink button
to operate a programmed device. The
code will continue being transmitted for a
maximum of 20 seconds.

Reprogramming the HomeLink system

To program a device to HomeLink using a
HomeLink button previously trained,
follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink

button. DO NOT release the button.

2. The indicator light will begin to flash

after 20 seconds. Without releasing the
HomeLink button, proceed with

Operating Tips

qOperating the Climate Control

System

Operate the climate control system with
the engine running.

NOTE

To prevent the battery from being discharged,
do not leave the fan control dial on for a long
period of time with the ignition switched ON
when the engine is not running.

qClearing the Air Inlet

Clear all obstructions such as leaves,
snow and ice from the hood and the air
inlet in the cowl grille to improve the
system efficiency.

qFoggy Windows

The windows may fog up easily in humid
weather. Use the climate control system to
defog the windows.

To help defog the windows, operate the
air conditioner to dehumidify the air.

NOTE

The air conditioner may be used along with the
heater to dehumidify the air.

qParking in Direct Sunlight

If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows to let warm air escape, then run
the climate control system.

qNot Using for a Long Period

Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes
at least once a month to keep internal
parts lubricated.

qCheck the Refrigerant before the

Weather Gets Hot

Have the air conditioner checked before
the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner less
efficient. Consult an Authorized Mazda
Dealer for refrigerant inspection.

The air conditioner is filled with
HFC134a (R134a), a refrigerant that will
not damage the ozone layer.
If the air conditioner is low on refrigerant
or has a malfunction, consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
