General description:
Every fifth time the front windscreen washer system is activated

the headlights are also washed if the windscreen wiper lever on

the steering wheel is pulled for at least 1.5 seconds - provided

either dipped beam or high beam are switched on.
The “active time” of the headlight washer system can be variably

adjusted to between 0 and 12.75 seconds

To guarantee sound functioning, the headlight washer system

Fault detection and fault display:
The onboard supply control unit -J519- is equipped with self-di‐

agnosis, which is designed to ease fault finding.
For fault finding, use the vehicle diagnosis, testing and informa‐

tion system -VAS 5051A- in “guided fault finding” mode.
