Wiper Functions: Washing

Both rear window and windshield washers work in three phases.

• Prewash: the pump is activated for a certain time and the wipers remain in the parking position
• Washing: the pump and wipers are active for as long as the washer switch is actuated
• After washing; the pump is off and the wipers are active for at least two complete strokes, with an extra stroke three seconds later.

With the lever in position 0 and washer function requested, three phases follow.

If speeds 1, 2 or impulse is active and the washer function is requested, the washer pump is engaged for as long as the switch is active. Return takes place to speeds 1, 2 or impulse.

If interval wiping is active when the washer function is requested, then interval wiping is interrupted and the three phases start. After the three phases have been finished interval wiping resumes.
