Windscreen and rear window wash function (on the Touring)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW M Roadster, 2006 BMW M Coupe, and 2006 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The windscreen-washer functions are available as soon as Terminal R status is ON.
To operate the windscreen washer, the wiper switch is pulled backwards (towards driver).
Touring: To wash the rear window, the wiper switch must be pushed forwards (away from the driver) (speed 2).
The washer pump continues running as long as the switch is held in that position. If the wiper switch is operated only momentarily (< 300 ms), only the washer pump switches on. If the switch is held in position for longer, the wipers come into action after a short delay. After the washer pump has switched off, the wipers complete three more wipes to dry the windscreen.
