Alternating Park Position (APS)

Alternating Park Position (APS)

The wiper control recognizes two park positions outside the field of view of the driver, In the park position, the wiper control alternates between the following park positions every 4 days:

- Lower park position
- Upper park position

This feature prevents permanent deformation of the wiper blade rubber. The wiper module decides whether the upper or the lower park position has been selected on the basis of the wiper-arm time in a certain park position. For this purpose, a K-CAN-S message (year/month/day) from the Kombi is evaluated. This ensures that the wipers are parked as evenly as possible (50 : 50).

The wiper are moved to the alternating park positions under the following conditions:

- Terminal R "off" and wiper off (wiper is in park position).
