WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The windshield wiper system is equipped with the APP function (alternating park position).
The APP function causes the wiper at every second shut off to move upward slightly after reaching the lowest position.
To install the motor crank on the Windshield Wiper Motor -V-, it is necessary to shut off the Windshield Wiper Motor -V- in the lower park position. This is attained by deactivating the APP function.
Note the following:
- An activation of APP function is not possible.
- APP function is automatically activated after 100 wiping cycles. This applies to Windshield Wiper Motor -V- in which the APP function was deactivated as well as new Windshield Wiper Motor -V-.
