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.
While the windshield washers are operating (from the time the wiper lever is pulled until the washer fluid stops spraying), the rear window washer does not spray washer fluid even if you operate the switch.
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.
Rear Window Defogger
The rear window defogger clears fog from the rear window.
The rear window defogger can be used when the power switch is switched ON.
Press the switch to turn on the rear window defogger. The rear window defogger operates for about 15 minutes and then turns off automatically.
The indicator light illuminates when the defogger is operating.
To turn off the rear window defogger before the 15 minutes has elapsed, press the switch again.

-
Do not use sharp instruments or window cleaners with abrasives to clean the inside of the rear window surface. They may damage the defogger grid inside the window.
-
This defogger is not designed for melting snow. If there is an accumulation of snow on the rear window, remove it before using the defogger.
-
The rear window defogger operation time can be changed from 15 minutes to continuous operation. When the operation time has been switched to continuous operation, by pressing the switch, the rear window defogger will continue to operate until the power switch is switched OFF.
Refer to the Settings section in the Mazda Connect Owner's Manual.
Windshield Wiper De-icer (Some Models)
The thermal filaments at the following positions heat up and facilitate the removal of snow accumulated on the windshield.

Programming the HomeLink System
The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons which can be individually selected and programmed using the transmitters for current, on-market devices as follows:
-
Press and release the HomeLink button you would like to program. The indicator light flashes slowly in amber when the button is pressed.
-
Indicator light
-
HomeLink button
-
-
Hold the hand-held transmitter 2.5 to 7.5 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the HomeLink button you would like to program while keeping the indicator light in view.
Depending on the hand-held transmitter, it may be easier to do the programming by holding it 15 to 20 cm (6 to 7.8 in) away from the HomeLink button.
-
Press the hand-held transmitter button continuously until the indicator light changes from amber (flashing) to green (on/flashing).
Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” section.
-
Press the HomeLink button again to check if the programming has been completed.
-
If the indicator light remains on in green, the programming is complete and the device becomes operational.
-
If the indicator light flashes rapidly in green, firmly press and hold the Homelink button and release it after two seconds have passed. Repeat this process up to three times to complete the programming. The device becomes operational and programming is complete. If the device does not operate, go to the next step.
-
-
At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
-
Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
-
Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the Homelink button, and then release it after two seconds have passed. Repeat the “press/hold/release” sequence a second time, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming process.
Press the programmed HomeLink button and make sure that the HomeLink System operates.
-
If the status indicator arrows are flashing, refer to Garage Door Two-Way Communication.

To program the remaining two HomeLink buttons, go back to Step 1 of Programming the HomeLink System and repeat the procedure.
For questions or comments, please contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com or www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex, or the HomeLink toll-free hotline at 1-800-355-3515 (for calls placed outside of the USA, Canada, and Puerto Rico, international rates will apply and may differ based on landline or mobile phone).
Gate operator/Canadian Programming
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.
If you live in Canada or are having difficulties 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:
If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible overheating.
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 green.
Go back to Step 4 of Programming the HomeLink System to complete the procedure.
Operating the HomeLink System
Press the programmed HomeLink button to operate a programmed device.
Garage Door Two-Way Communication
The garage door two-way communication is a function that communicates with the garage door opener and indicates whether the garages door is open or closed using the indicator lights in the rear view mirror. It can indicate the status of the garage door within a range up-to 250 m (820 ft).
Programming two-way communication
Within five seconds after programming a new HomeLink button, both of the garage door status indicator lights will flash rapidly in green indicating that the garage door two-way communication has been established. If the garage door status indicator lights flash, the two-way communication programming is complete.
If the garage door status indicator lights do not flash, the two-way communication programming is not completed. For additional HomeLink information and programming videos, refer to the following Websites:
Operating the garage door two-way communication
By pressing HomeLink buttons 1 and 2 at the same time for two seconds, the status of the garage door is indicated for about 3 seconds as follows:
