Just acquired a 2021 Mazda CX 5 , and I had no idea how the automatic wipers (or anything else) worked. So grateful that you took the time to make this video
so when going through an automatic car wash make sure wipers are OFF and not AUTO and uncheck X the rain sensing box in the Settings screen. or risk your wipers getting damaged in the car wash, if it has actual cleaning things that touch your car like spinning strappy things
I am reluctant to buy a vehicle so equipped. I had a 2011 Toyota Avalon with rain sensing wipers and they didn’t work worth a damn, even after several trips to the dealer. You couldn’t see because of the water on the windshield and then they would run for several wipes and they would start squeaking because the windshield was dry and they’d still be running. I eventually just ended up operating them manually as if I didn’t have an intermittent function, then I got really mad and traded it for a car with regular intermittent wipers!
