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.
