Mazda 6 Owners Manual: Headlights
Turn the headlight switch to turn the headlights and other exterior lights on or off. When the lights are turned on, the lights-on indicator light in the instrument cluster turns on.
NOTE
- If the light switch is left on, the lights will automatically switch
off approximately 30 seconds after switching the ignition off.
The time setting can be changed.
- To prevent discharging the battery, do not leave the lights on while the engine is off unless safety requires them.

*1 The lights are turned on while the vehicle is driven.
*2 The lights are turned on for the specified period by the auto headlight off function.

*5 The lights are turned on for the specified period by the auto headlight off function.
Auto-light control (some models)
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.
CAUTION
- 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.
NOTE
- 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.

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 ...
