Reverse Wiping

Reverse wiping
Reverse wiping operates the rear wiper motor when reverse gear is selected. The transmission must be in reverse for longer then 0.5 seconds before reversing wipe activates. Reversing wipe activates if the following conditions are met:
^ Ignition switch is in position II.
^ Reverse gear is selected.
^ Rear wiper or front wipers operating.

If the rear wiper is active in any mode when reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper activates for 4 second. After 4 seconds the rear wiper operates in a delay operation at the same delay interval set by the variable delay switch until reverse gear is deselected.

If the front wipers are operating on either low or high speed when reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper activates continuously until reverse gear is deselected.

In order to enable reversing wipe functions, the BCU utilises the reversing light switch located within the transmission to determine when reverse gear has been selected.

If the front intermittent wipe is active when reverse gear is selected, the rear wiper completes 2 cycles before operating at the same intermittent delay as the front wipers.
