Description and operationSlow and Fast Speed Function

When the windscreen wash/wipe switch is moved to position ’O’, the feed to the CCU is removed. The CCU removes the earth path for the front wiper relay coil and the relay contacts open. The wipers use the park function switch to return to their park position.
