Auto-light control (Some Models)
(Except Cnnada)
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 off.
(Canada)
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.
-
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.
-
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.
In this case, the lights turn off if the light switch is turned to the OFF position.
-
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.
Headlight High-Low Beam
The headlights switch between high and low beams by moving the lever forward or backward.
When the headlight high-beams are on, the headlight high-beam indicator light is turned on.
Coming Home Light
The coming home light turns on the headlights (low beams) when the lever is operated.
To turn on the lights
When the lever is pulled with the ignition switched to ACC or OFF, the low beam headlights turn on.
The headlights turn off after a certain period of time has elapsed after all of the doors are closed.
-
The time until the headlights turn off after all of the doors are closed can be changed.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
-
If no operations are done for 3 minutes after the lever is pulled, the headlights turn off.
-
The headlights turn off if the lever is pulled again while the headlights are illuminated.
Lane-Change Signals
Move the lever halfway toward the direction of the lane change―until the indicator flashes― and hold it there. It will return to the off position when released.
Three-Flash Turn Signal
After releasing the turn signal lever, 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.
The three-flash turn signal function can be switched to operable/inoperable using the personalization function.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
Rear Window Wiper and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wiper.
Rear Window Wiper
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 Authorized Mazda Dealer.
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 turn signals will flash. The hazard warning indicator lights in the instrument cluster flash simultaneously.
-
The turn signals 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.
