Wash/wipe switch
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW X3, 2016 BMW X3, 2015 BMW X3, 2014 BMW X3, and 2013 BMW X3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The wash/wipe switch is operated by briefly moving the lever. The wiper switch does not lock into place. The signal from the wash/wipe switch is forwarded by the steering column switch cluster (SZL) to the central gateway module (ZGM). From the ZGM control unit, the signal is then sent to the junction box electronics (JBE).
The axial button on the wiper switch activates the automatic mode (automatic control via the rain/driving light sensor). If the automatic mode is disabled, intermittent operation is controlled on a speed-dependent basis.
