¾If the wipers are operated while the
glass is dry, the glass could be
scratched and the wiper rubber
damaged. When the glass is dry,
spray washer fluid before operating
the wipers.
¾If the amount of washer fluid spray is
insucient, do not use the washer
switch. If the washer switch
continues to be operated with no
washer fluid being sprayed, it could
lead to pump damage.
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 o, 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.
