Mazda CX-3: Owner Maintenance / Wiper Blades
CAUTION
- Hot waxes applied by automatic car
washers have been known to affect the
wiper's ability to clean windows.
- To prevent damage to the wiper blades,
do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
- When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched ON,
the wipers may move automatically in
the following cases:
- If the windshield above the rain sensor
is touched.
- If the windshield above the rain sensor
is wiped with a cloth.
- If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object.
- If the rain sensor is struck with a hand
or other object from inside the vehicle.
- Be careful not to pinch hands or fingers
as it may cause injury, or damage the
wipers. When washing or servicing the
vehicle, make sure the wiper lever is in
the OFF position.
Contamination of either the windshield or
the blades with foreign matter can reduce
wiper effectiveness. Common sources are
insects, tree sap, and hot wax treatments
used by some commercial car washes.
If the blades are not wiping properly, clean
the window and blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent; then rinse
thoroughly with clean water. Repeat if
necessary.
All moving points of the body, such as
door and hood hinges and locks, should be
lubricated each time the engine oil is
changed. Use a nonfreezing lubricant on
locks during cold weather...
When the wipers no longer clean well, the
blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and
other components, do not try to sweep the
wiper arm by hand...
