Three-Flash Turn Signal

Refer to Personalisation Features (Search).
Windscreen Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wipers.
Use only windscreen washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir:
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the windscreen, it will dirty the windscreen, affect your visibility, and could result in an accident.
Only use windscreen washer fluid mixed with anti-freeze protection in freezing weather conditions:
Using windscreen washer fluid without anti-freeze protection in freezing weather conditions is dangerous as it could freeze on the windscreen and block your vision which could cause an accident. In addition, make sure the windscreen is sufficiently warmed using the defroster before spraying the washer fluid.
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 off, 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.
Windscreen Washer
Pull the lever toward you and hold it to spray washer fluid.
If the windscreen washer is turned on when the windscreen wipers are not operating, the windscreen wipers operate a few times.
If the washer does not work, inspect the fluid level (Search). If the fluid level is normal, consult an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer).
Rear Window Washer
To spray washer fluid, turn the rear wiper/washer switch to either of the 
position. After the switch is released, the washer will stop.
If the washer does not work, inspect the fluid level (Search). If the fluid level is normal and the washer still does not work, consult an expert repairer (we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer).
Mirror Defogger (Some Models)
Hazard Warning Flasher
The hazard warning lights should always be used when you stop on or near a roadway in an emergency.
The hazard warning lights warn other drivers that your vehicle is a traffic hazard and that they must take extreme caution when near it.
Depress the hazard warning flasher and all the direction indicators will flash. The hazard warning indicator lights in the instrument cluster flash simultaneously.
-
The direction indicators do not work when the hazard warning lights are on.
-
Check local regulations about the use of hazard warning lights while the vehicle is being towed to verify that it is not in violation of the law.
-
If the brake pedal is depressed while driving on slippery roads, the emergency stop signal system could operate causing all the turn and lane change signals to flash. Refer to Emergency Stop Signal System (Search).
-
While the emergency stop signal system is operating, all the direction indicators automatically flash rapidly to caution the driver of a vehicle following behind your vehicle of a sudden braking situation. Refer to Emergency Stop Signal System (Search).
