Wipers and Washers

DESCRIPTION

Front

Wipers
Operation of the windscreen wipers is controlled by the Central Control Unit (CCU). There are four modes of wiper operation. These are selectable from the RH column stalk when the ignition switch is in the 'ignition' position.

NOTE: Windscreen wiper operation is temporarily suspended while the engine in cranking

The modes of windscreen wiper operation are:
^ Slow wipe.
^ Fast wipe.
^ Intermittent wipe.
^ Flick wipe.

Washers
The windscreen washer jets are controlled by the CCU and are operated by pulling the RH column stalk back against spring pressure. When the washer jets are operated, the windscreen wipers will start operating at slow speed after a delay of approximately 0.6 seconds. The wipers will continue to operate at slow speed until approximately 2 seconds after the RH wiper stalk is released.

Rear

Wiper
The rear wiper is switched on and off by pressing the switch mounted on the RH side of the instrument pack. The rear wiper is controlled by the Central Control Unit (CCU) and will only operate when the ignition switch is in the 'ignition' position.

NOTE: Rear wiper operation will NOT be suspended while the engine is cranking.

The rear wiper will stop operating and return to its park position if any of the following occur:
^ The tail door is opened.
^ The tail door window is opened.
^ The roof is removed (3 door vehicles only).

If the windscreen wipers are in operation and reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper will automatically operate at slow speed, irrespective of rear wiper switch position. The rear wiper will stop operating when reverse gear is de-selected.

Washer
The rear washer is operated by pressing the non-latching switch mounted on the RH side of the instrument pack. The washer will operate until the switch is released.

The rear wiper will start operating at slow speed as soon as the washer switch is depressed, and will continue to operate at slow speed for approximately 6 seconds after the switch is released.
