Rear Window Wiper

Rear Window Wiper

The rear window wiper was designed to provide the widest possible field of vision. The rear wiper remains on the window when parked. The drive unit for the rear-window wiper is located in the rear gate and the wiper arm is on the folding rear window. If the rear window is folded up, the drive unit and wiper arm are separated. For this reason the rear window wiper is designed with a separable wiper shaft.

The rear wiper has an intermittent setting with a fixed interval.

Pushing the right steering column lever operates this function, and the rear window is then wiped in the intermittent mode.

A particular feature is the automatic activation of the wiper when the front wiper is turned on and the gear lever is placed in Reverse.

The headlamp washer operates only if the low or high beams are switched on. The spray duration is limited.

The rear control module contains the central electrons for the rear wiper.







One Tap Wash Windshield and Rear Window

The "One Tap" wash function is an automated cleaning operation of the windshield or rear window. A short tap of the windshield or rear window washing function on the right steering column lever operates this. The length of time the lever is pressed determines whether a one-touch wash or conventional washing is performed. This is analyzed in the steering column module and is stored in the CAN as a wash function.

When the "One Tap" wash function is activated, the dual washer pump is operated by a central electronic control for a defined time period. At the same time the windshield or rear window washer operates the washer pump for a period corresponding to a sequence of wiping cycles. Once the pumping is completed, three addition~l wiping cycles are performed.

If the wash function has been activated on the steering column lever longer than necessary to initiate the One-tap wash function, the conventional washing function starts. This means that the dual washer fluid pump operates as long as the steering column lever is depressed. The windshield wiper or rear wiper operates during the entire time the pump functions.
