Windshield Wiper System

General information
The windshield wiper system is controlled by the Wiper

Motor Control Module J400 which is integrated with
Windshield Wiper Motor V .
To remove wiper blades, wiper arms must be set to

"service/winter position" . The "service/winter position" is
activated by operating windshield wiper lever in "touch
sweep" position within 10 seconds after switching off
ignition Owners Manual .
Note:
In order to prevent potential damage to wiper arms,

the windshield wipers will not function, or will cease
functioning should the front hood be opened.

appropriate alternative)
Windshield wiper system is equipped with Alternating Park

Position (APP) function).
Every other time the wipers are witched off, the APP
function causes the wiper arms to move upward slightly
from the lowest position, causing the wiper blade rubbers
to "flip" or tilt in a manner that "alternates" from the
previous switch-off event.
APP function serves to increase wiper blade service life by

alternating the wiper rubber contact angle at the windshield
after use.
In order to install the crank on the wiper motor in the proper

position, it is necessary to shut off the motor in the lowest
park position. This is done by deactivating the APP
function in the coding of Wiper Motor Control Module
J400 .
Note:
Activating APP function is not possible.
APP function is automatically activated after 100

wiping cycles. This applies to wiper motors in which
the APP function was deactivated as well as for new
wiper motors.
