Function requirements: 

Function of automatic control 

By turning the combination switch to:

The respective position of the combination switch is read in by the steering column module and placed on the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit picks off the required data, routes them on the interior CAN, where they are signaled to the rain/light sensor by the overhead control panel via a serial interface.

The rain/light sensor calculates the frequency of the required wipe operations based on the position of the combination switch and the degree of wetting.

The request by the rain/light sensor is signaled by the overhead control panel via the serial interface to the front SAM control unit, which actuates the wiper motors accordingly.

Function abort 

Function interruption 

The automatic control is interrupted by:

Wipe function at a predefined speed 

Turning the combination switch to position "3" or "4" switches on continuous wiping.

The requests of the combination switch are read in by the steering column module and placed on the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit picks off the required data, routes them to the interior CAN, where they are read in by the front SAM control unit. The front SAM control unit actuates the wiper motors based on the requests:

Function abort 

Function interruption 

Wiping at specified speed is interrupted by the washing, after-wiping or wiper start suppression functions.

Touch wiping function 

The touch wiping function can only be initiated with combination switch in position "0", "1" or "2".

IMPORTANT With touch wiping and combination switch in position "1" or "2", the interval period is restarted after the touch wiping cycle has finished or a new request from the rain/light sensor is waited for. The touch wiping speed corresponds to the wiping speed in position "3".
