WIPERS AND WASHERS
DESCRIPTION
The front windscreen wipers are controlled from the column switch and operate
when the ignition switch is in position ’II’. The wipers have 2 speed settings,
along with a flick wipe and single wipe facility. An intermittent wipe function and
programmed wash wipe facility is controlled by the windscreen wiper delay
ECU.
Moving the wiper switch down from the off position initiates the intermittent
wipe function. Moving the wiper switch up one position from the off position,
operates the wipers at slow speed. Moving the wiper switch up two positions
from the off position, operates the wipers at fast speed. Pushing the wiper
switch up from the off position, not allowing it to latch, and then releasing it
causes the wipers to perform a single wipe cycle at slow speed. Pushing and
holding the wiper switch up from the off position, not allowing it to latch, causes
the wipers to operate at slow speed until the wiper switch is released.
Pressing the end of the wiper switch, initiates the programmed wash wipe
sequence. The windscreen washers operate while the switch is pressed and
the wipers continue to operate for a number of cycles after the switch is
released.
The rear screen wiper and wash facilities are controlled by a switch mounted
on the dash panel. Pressing the switch causes the rear washer to operate until
the switch is released. The rear wiper does not operate automatically with the
rear washer. Turning the switch clockwise causes the rear wiper to operate
until the switch is turned back to the off position.
