HEATED REAR WINDOW (HRW)
The HRW is controlled from a non-latching push button switch located on the centre of the fascia.
The CCU controls all functions of the HRW. When the HRW switch is pressed and released a signal is sent to the CCU.
With the ignition on and oil pressure sense present, tail window not lower than the ’clear of seal’ position and, on 3 door models the roof is on, the CCU will grant the HRW on. The CCU will energise the HRW relay for approximately 8 minutes after which the CCU will de-energise the HRW relay. A warning lamp on the HRW switch shows when the HRW is operating.
If the switch is pressed before the timed 8 minute period, the CCU will switch off the HRW. Removal of any of the input signals to the CCU will also stop HRW operation. The HRW switch will require re-selection to operate again.
The CCU HRW inputs and outputs are shown in the following table:
| INPUTS Ignition sense (position II) Tail window software flags Tail door open request Roof off sense Oil pressure sense HRW request (on/off) |
| CCU |
NOTE: The tail window flags are derived from the CCU tracking the window movement using the tail window position signal.
| OUTPUTS HRW relay |
