If the brake/clutch fluid level is low, have the brakes inspected:
A low brake/clutch fluid level is dangerous.
A low level could indicate brake lining wear or a brake system leak which could cause the brakes to fail and lead to an accident.
The brakes and clutch draw fluid from the same reservoir.
Inspect the fluid level in the reservoir regularly. It should be kept between the MAX and MIN lines.
The level normally drops with accumulated distance, a condition associated with wear of brake and clutch linings. If it is excessively low, have the brake/clutch system inspected by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
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, affect your visibility, and could result in an accident.
Using Washer Fluid Without Anti-freeze Protection in Cold Weather:
Operating your vehicle in temperatures below 4 degrees C (40 degrees F) using washer fluid without anti-freeze protection is dangerous as it could cause impaired windshield vision and result in an accident. In cold weather, always use washer fluid with anti-freeze protection.
State or local regulations may restrict the use of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are commonly used as anti-freeze agents in washer fluid. A washer fluid with limited VOC content should be used only if it provides adequate freeze resistance for all regions and climates in which the vehicle will be operated.
Inspect fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir; add fluid if necessary.
The top of the float should be between F and L.
Use plain water if washer fluid is unavailable.
But use only washer fluid in cold weather to prevent it from freezing.
Front and rear washer fluid is supplied from the same reservoir.
When the wipers no longer clean well, the blades are probably worn or cracked.
Replace them.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms and other components, do not try to sweep the wiper arm by hand.
When raising both windshield wiper arms, raise the driver's side wiper arm first. When lowering the wiper arms, slowly lower the wiper arm from the passenger's side first while supporting it with your hand. Forcefully lowering the wiper arms could damage the wiper arm and blade, and may scratch or crack the windshield.
Raise the wiper arm.
Open the clip and slide the blade assembly in the direction of the arrow.
To prevent damage to the windshield let the wiper arm down easily, do not let it slap down on the windshield.
Pull down the blade rubber and slide it out of blade holder.
Remove the metal stiffeners from each blade rubber and install them in the new blade.
Do not bend or discard the stiffeners. You need to use them again.
If the metal stiffeners are switched, the blade's wiping efficiency could be reduced.
So do not use the driver's side metal stiffeners on the passenger's side, or vice versa.
Be sure to reinstall the metal stiffeners in the new blade rubber so that the curve is the same as it was in the old blade rubber.
Carefully insert the new blade rubber. Then install the blade assembly in the reverse order of removal.
When the wiper no longer cleans well, the blade is probably worn or cracked.
Replace it.
To prevent damage to the wiper arm and other components, do not move the wiper by hand.
Remove the cover and raise the wiper arm.
Firmly rotate the wiper blade to the right until it unlocks, then remove the blade.
To prevent damage to the rear window, do not let the wiper arm fall on it.
Pull down the blade rubber and slide it out of the blade holder.
Remove the metal stiffeners from the blade rubber and install them in the new blade.
Do not bend or discard the stiffeners. You need to use them again.
Carefully insert the new blade rubber.
Then install the blade assembly in the reverse order of removal.
