Function prerequisite 

Function of automatic control 

When the combination switch is turned into the interval position, the automatic wiper control is switched on depending on the rain intensity.

IMPORTANT On vehicles as of 1.6.06 (not USA ONLY or JAPAN ONLY ) or vehicles as of 1.7.06 (only USA ONLY or JAPAN ONLY ) the sensitivity of the rain sensor can be programmed:

The respective position of the combination switch is read in by the steering column module and placed onto CAN-B.

The system determines the frequency of the wiping cycles depending on the degree of windshield wetting. Moreover, light conditions of the surroundings, vehicle speed, and outside temperature are taken into account.

The request by the rain/light sensor is transmitted by the overhead control panel via the serial interface to the driver-side SAM control unit, which actuates the wiper motor accordingly:

Emergency running 

If the communication between the rain/light sensor and the overhead control panel control unit fails, intermittent operation is activated at fixed intervals (approx. 5 sec.).

Wipe function at a predefined speed 

Continuous wiping is switched on via the combination switch. The requests are transmitted to the driver-side SAM control unit via the steering column module. The driver-side SAM control unit actuates the wiper motor according to the requests:

Up to 31.5.06 (not USA ONLY or JAPAN ONLY ), up to 30.6.06 (only USA ONLY or JAPAN ONLY ):

As of 1.6.06 (not USA ONLY or JAPAN ONLY ), as of 1.7.06 (only USA ONLY or JAPAN ONLY ):

Touch wiping function 

For touch wiping, briefly push combination switch in axial direction as far as the detent point.

When operated for longer, wiping takes place based on the length of operation.
