The windscreen wiper system is equipped with an APP function (alternating park position).
With the APS function, the wiper arm is moved up slightly once it has reached the lowest position. This occurs every second time the wiper system is switched off.
The wiper motor must be set to the bottom park position for attaching the crank to the motor. This is done by deactivating the APP function (coding wiper motor control unit -J400-).
  Note
t  The APP function cannot be activated.
t  After 100 cycles of wiper movement, the APP function is activated automatically. This applies to wiper motors on which the APP function has been deactivated and also to new wiper motors.
