Auto-light control  
When the headlight switch is in the AUTO position 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 oꢀ.  
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 oꢀ completely when  
it is particularly tempting to leave the engine running. This is particularly important  
when clearing ice and snow.

When Driving  
Switches and Controls  
NOTE  
The headlights and other exterior lights may not turn oꢀ 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, traꢁc 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.

Windshield Wipers and Washer  
▼
The ignition must be switched ON to  
use the wipers.  
NOTE  
If the windshield wipers are operated  
under cold weather conditions or  
during snowfall, they could stop due to  
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 oꢀ, 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 Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon  
as possible.  
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,  
aꢀect 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 suꢁciently warmed using  
the defroster before spraying the  
washer fluid.  
Windshield Wipers  
▼
Turn the wipers on by pressing the  
lever up or down.  
With intermittent wiper  
CAUTION  
When the wipers are not used during  
freezing temperatures or for a long  
time, the wiper rubber may adhere  
to the glass. If the wipers are  
operated while adhered to the glass,  
it could damage the wiper rubber  
and motor.  
If 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.

Auto-wiper control  
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO  
position, the rain sensor senses the  
amount of rainfall on the windshield  
and turns the wipers on or oꢀ  
automatically (oꢀ―intermittent―low  
speed―high speed).  
Rotate the switch upward (FAST  
direction) to shorten the interval time  
of the wiper operation, and rotate the  
switch downward (SLOW direction) to  
lengthen it.  
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be  
adjusted by turning the switch on the  
wiper lever.  
From the center position (normal),  
rotate the switch upward (+ direction)  
for higher sensitivity (faster response)  
or rotate it downward (- direction) for  
less sensitivity (slower response).

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.  
When the ignition is switched ON  
and the wiper lever is in the AUTO  
position, the windshield wipers may  
operate automatically in the  
following cases:  
The area of the windshield above  
the rain sensor is touched or wiped  
with a cloth.  
The windshield or the rain sensor  
area in the cabin is hit.  
When the ignition is switched ON  
and the wiper lever is in the AUTO  
position, do not touch the  
windshield or the windshield wipers  
Otherwise, the windshield wipers  
will operate automatically which  
could catch your fingers or damage  
the windshield wipers.  
When removing ice or snow, or  
cleaning the windshield, always  
make sure the wiper lever is in the  
OFF position.  
If the auto-wiper lever is left in the  
AUTO position, the wipers could  
operate automatically from the eꢀect  
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.

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.  
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. After 20 seconds, the indicator light  
flashes in amber. After the indicator  
light flashes, release the HomeLink  
button.  
If you live in Canada or are having  
diꢁculties programming a gate  
operator by using the programming  
procedures (regardless of where you  
live), replace Step 3 of Programming  
the HomeLink System with the  
following:  
3. Go back to Step 2 of Programming  
the HomeLink System to complete  
the procedure.  
NOTE  
If the programming has not been  
completed, the system returns to the  
previous programming.

While the indicator light is flashing in  
amber, press the button on the  
hand-held transmitter for 2 seconds  
and release it repeatedly until the  
indicator light changes from amber to

Go back to Step 4 of Programming the  
HomeLink System to complete the  
procedure.  
buttons are reset. Individual buttons  
cannot be reset, however, individual  
buttons can be reprogrammed. For  
individual button reprogramming,  
refer to Reprogramming the  
HomeLink System (page 4-74).  
Verify that the programming has  
been erased if you resell the vehicle.
