When Driving  
Switches and Controls  
*
Auto-light control  
When the headlight switch is in a position other than  
and the ignition is  
switched ON, the light sensor senses the surrounding lightness or darkness and  
automatically turns the headlights and other exterior lights on or off.  
CAUTION  
Do not shade the light sensor by adhering a sticker or a label on the windshield.  
Otherwise the light sensor will not operate correctly.  
The light sensor also works as a rain sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep hands  
and scrapers clear of the windshield when the wiper lever is in the AUTO position  
and the ignition is switched ON as fingers could be pinched or the wipers and  
wiper blades could be damaged when the wipers activate automatically. If you are  
going to clean the windshield, be sure the wipers are turned off completely when  
it is particularly tempting to leave the engine running. This is particularly important  
when clearing ice and snow.  
NOTE  
The headlights and other exterior lights may not turn off immediately even if the  
surrounding area becomes well-lit because the light sensor determines that it is  
night time if the surrounding area is continuously dark for several minutes such as  
inside long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels, or in indoor parking lots.  
If the headlight switch and the windshield wiper switch are in AUTO, and the  
wipers are operated at low or high speed by the auto wiper control for several  
seconds, bad weather conditions are determined and the headlights may be  
turned on.  
The sensitivity of the auto-light control may be changed.  
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.

indicator flashesand hold it there. It  
will return to the off position when  
released.  
Only use windshield washer fluid  
mixed with anti-freeze protection in  
freezing weather conditions:  
Three-Flash Turn Signal  
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.  
After releasing the turn signal lever  
from the halfway point, the turn signal  
indicator flashes 3 times. The  
operation can be canceled by moving  
the lever in the direction opposite to  
which it was operated.  
NOTE  
The three-flash turn signal function can  
be switched to on/off using the  
personalization function.

accumulated snow on the windshield.  
If the windshield wipers stop due to  
accumulated snow on the windshield,  
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

When Driving  
Switches and Controls  
NOTE  
If the headlight switch and the  
windshield wiper switch are in  
AUTO, and the wipers are operated  
at low or high speed by the auto  
wiper control for several seconds,  
bad weather conditions are  
determined and the headlights may  
be turned on.  
The auto-wiper control functions can  
be turned off.  
Refer to the Settings section in the  
Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.  
Switching the auto-wiper lever from  
the OFF to the AUTO position while  
driving activates the windshield  
wipers once, after which they  
operate according to the rainfall  
amount.  
The auto-wiper control may not  
operate when the rain sensor  
temperature is about 10 °C (14 °F)  
or lower, or about 85 °C (185 °F) or  
higher.  
If the windshield is coated with  
water repellent, the rain sensor may  
not be able to sense the amount of  
rainfall correctly and the auto-wiper  
control may not operate properly.  
If dirt or foreign matter (such as ice  
or matter containing salt water)  
adheres to the windshield above the  
rain sensor, or if the windshield 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.  
Windshield Washer  
Pull the wiper lever toward you to

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.  
Press the programmed HomeLink  
button and make sure that the  
HomeLink System operates.
