WINDSHIELD WIPER AND WASHER

M2510007000853

CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM

• 2-speed (low/high speed) windshield wiper has 

been adopted.

• The intermittent wiper features a vehicle 

speed-dependent variable intermittent time sys-
tem*.

• Rain sensitive AUTO wiper system* 

<Optional:Vehicles for USA with lighting control 
sensor (rain sensor)>

• With the windshield washer, the washer spraying 

area has been enlarged by the adoption of 2-noz-
zle diffusion washer type, improving the wiping 
performance of windshield wiper.

• The mist wiper is turned ON by operating the mist 

switch in the opposite direction of the wiper 
switch for easy operation. The mist wiper is 
equipped with the function that quickly wipes 
raindrops away at high speed when the mist 
switch is ON, and when the mist switch is OFF, at 
low speed until the stop position is reached. 
When the mist switch is briefly turned ON, the 
wiper operates once at low speed.

• Washer-linked wiper function* has been adopted. 

The washer fluid can be injected without operat-
ing the wiper. When the ignition switch is turned 
ON while the washer switch is ON, the washer 
motor operates but the wiper does not.

• Windshield washer tank is arranged in the trunk 

room, contributing to the optimization of 
front-to-back weight distribution for the vehicle.

NOTE: **Using the customization function, the vehi-
cle speed-dependent variable intermittent time sys-
tem, rain sensitive AUTO wiper system and the 
washer-linked wiper function can be selected (Refer 
to 

P.51-12

).

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

.

Intermittent control (Vehicle speed-dependent 
variable type) <Initial condition: with function>

1. ETACS calculates the windshield intermittent wiper interval 

T1 from the position of the windshield intermittent wiper 
switch on the column switch and the vehicle speed signal 
(sent from the combination meter to ETACS via CAN com-
munication).
NOTE: Using the configuration function, the vehicle 
speed-dependent intermittent function can be invalidated 
(Refer to 

P.51-12

).

2. When ETACS receives the ON signal of the windshield 

intermittent wiper switch, it turns the windshield wiper relay 
ON. When the wiper reaches the stop position, the wind-
shield wiper auto-stop signal turns OFF, and the windshield 
wiper relay turns OFF.
When the intermittent time T1 calculated by step 1 has 
elapsed after the windshield wiper relay ON, the windshield 
wiper relay turns ON again, and the above-mentioned oper-
ation is repeated.

.

Mist wiper control

When the windshield wiper mist switch on the column switch is 
turned ON while the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position, 
the column switch turns the windshield wiper relay ON. At the 
same time, the wiper speed switching relay turns ON (HI). 
When the windshield mist wiper switch is ON, the windshield 
wiper operates at high speed.

Low speed wiper and high speed wiper control

When the windshield low speed wiper switch on the 
column switch is turned ON while the ignition switch 
is in ACC or ON position, the column switch turns the 
windshield wiper relay ON. Also, the wiper speed 
switching relay turns OFF (LO), and the windshield 
wiper operates at low speed.

When the windshield high speed wiper switch is 
turned ON, the windshield wiper relay turns ON. 
Also, the wiper speed switching relay turns ON (HI), 
and the windshield wiper operates at high speed.

Windshield wiper linked with washer function <Initial condition: with function>

When the windshield washer switch on the column 
switch is turned ON while the ignition switch is in 
ACC or ON position, ETACS turns the windshield 
washer relay ON.
When the windshield washer switch is kept ON for 
0.3 seconds or longer, the windshield wiper relay (the 
wiper relay output time varies depending on the con-
ditions. For details, see the table.) is turned ON, and 
the windshield wiper operates at LO speed. The 
windshield wiper is turned OFF with 3 seconds delay 
after the windshield washer switch is turned OFF.
Even when the windshield washer switch is turned 
ON while the windshield wiper is operating intermit-
tently, the intermittent action starts again after the 
linked operation is finished.

If the ignition switch is turned from OFF to ACC posi-
tion while the windshield washer switch is ON, the 
windshield washer relay turns ON, but the windshield 
wiper does not perform the linked operation. When 
the windshield washer switch is turned OFF and then 
ON, the windshield wiper starts the linked operation.
NOTE: 

.

•

Using the configuration function, the washer 
linked windshield wiper function can be invali-
dated (Refer to 

P.51-12

).

•

Using the configuration function, when the 
washer linked windshield wiper function is invali-
dated, only the washer operates. It is useful to 
melt down the ices of the frozen windshield.
