WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The windshield wiper system is equipped with the APP function (alternating park position).

The APP function causes the wiper at every second shut off to move upward slightly after reaching the lowest position.

To install the motor crank on the Windshield Wiper Motor -V-, it is necessary to shut off the Windshield Wiper Motor -V- in the lower park position. This is attained by deactivating the APP function.

Note the following: 

  • An activation of APP function is not possible.
  • APP function is automatically activated after 100 wiping cycles. This applies to Windshield Wiper Motors -V- in which the APP function was deactivated as well as new Windshield Wiper Motors -V-.

Procedure 

-- Connect the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester.

-- Select Guided Fault Finding  .
