basic module (KBM). The washer jets are not adjustable. The new-design washer jets (fluidic jets) produce a
pulsating, fan-shaped jet of fluid.

The headlamp washer system is an optional extra (option 502).
For the option 502 the washer fluid reservoir holds 5 litres instead of 3 litres (basic version; the Touring
reservoir always holds 5 litres).
The headlamp-washer pump is mounted on the washer-fluid reservoir. The washer pump is controlled by the
body basic module (KBM) via a relay.

Heated washer jets
The washer-jet heater system prevents the washer jets freezing in cold weather.
The washer-jet heater system is controlled by the IHKA module on the basis of outside temperature (< 3
°
C).
The washer-jet heating system consists of heating resistors.

Wiper speed 1

•
Automatic wipe controlled by rain-light sensor
For the Touring (E61):
The rear window is wiped intermittently (the customer can program the duration of the intervals, see Owner's
Handbook).
No wiper operation is allowed when the rear window is open (via rear window contact switch).
When reverse gear is engaged intermittent operation switches to constant wiping.
Windscreen and rear window wash function (on the Touring)
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.
