M Windshield Wipers OFF INT WARNING Frozen Washer Fluid: Using windshield washer fluid in freezing temperatures is dangerous. The washer fluid could freeze on the windshield and block your vision.

INT - Intermittent 1 - Normal 2 - Fast Variable-speed intermittent wipers Set the lever to INT and choose the interval timing by rotating the ring. Because heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades, the wiper motor is protected from motor breakdown, overheating and possible fire by a circuit breaker. This mechanism will automatically stop operation of the blades, but only for about 5 minutes. If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and park off the right-of-way, and remove the snow and ice. After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should operate normally. If they don't resume functioning, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer as soon as possible.
