Introduction

To meet the rising expectations of customers in the future, the wiper system was redeveloped to achieve the following design goals:

- User-friendly
- Quiet
- Low operating costs

For the first time, the windshield wiper uses an electronically reversible wiper control (like the rear window wiper of the E39/E53). The reversing gear and the relay are no longer needed.

The main advantages compared with previous conventional wiper systems are:

- Improved accuracy of wiping angle in the reversing direction.
- Reduced wiper noise.
- Wiper arm speed is dependent on the wiper arm position on the windshield.
- Less space is required for the wiper linkage because the motor rotation is limited to 180°.
- The wiper system adapts to snow load within the minimum field of view.
- The wiper arms have alternating park positions.
