2751466 - E3020 WINDSCREEN WASH/WIPE - Description

Description

The system operates with the ignition key turned ON.The windscreen wash/wipe system is operated by a stalk switch on the right side of the steering wheel;

When the lever is turned in a clockwise direction, there are four possible positions:

• windscreen wiper off: steering column switch unit lever in rest position;
• intermittent operation (first steering column switch unit lever position): the windscreen wiper motor operates at the 1st speed;
• continuous, fast operation (1^st speed): second steering column switch unit lever position;
• continuous, fast operation (2^nd speed); third steering column switch unit lever position.

Turning the lever in an anti-clockwise direction activates the 'antipanic' function. The windscreen wiper motor operates at the 2 ^nd speed for the entire time this position is maintained. The windscreen washer function is operated by pulling the lever gently towards the steering wheel: the windscreen washer pump is activated in this way; if the lever is kept in this position, the windscreen wipers will come on (continuous, fast operation at 1 ^st speed); when the lever is released, the windscreen wipers will continue to operate for several strokes. After about six seconds, calculated from when the windscreen wiper park position is reached at the end of the last stroke cycle, there is an additional windscreen wiper stroke (after-wipe function). The windscreen wash/wipe function is managed entirely by the body computer node.
