Wipers & washers (Tourer Models): Description and operation

Tourer Models

The rear screen wiper (1) will operate by rotating the rear wash/wiper switch mounted on the RH side of the steering column to the on position, further movement will operate the washer. The washer pump (2) will draw washer fluid from the reservoir (3) and spray on the rear screen through a jet (4) until the switch is released. After the washer switch is released, the wipers will operate for 6 seconds and then wipe intermittently until switched off. If the switch is rotated rearward the washer will operate until the switch is released and the wipers will operate for 6 seconds and then switch off.

Operation with reverse gear

Provided the front wiper switch is in the on position, selection of reverse gear will automatically cause the rear wiper to operate. On automatic vehicles a half second delay after selection of reverse gear is incorporated to prevent inadvertent operation when traversing through the reverse gear.
