The S-Type wipers and washers system consists of the following components, wipers and washers, mounting arm and pivot shaft, wiper motor, reservoir and washer pump, a headlamp washing system is available as an additional option.
The wipers have two speed control, low and high, and an intermittent wipe mode. The wipers will park automatically irrespective of their position when the OFF position of the ignition or control switch is selected.
Within wiper and washer system the following features can be attained, adjustable interval intermittent wiping, programmable wash and wipe sequencing, autolamp activation and moisture sensitive wiping. The system and features are centrally controlled by the GEM (generic electronics module).
The intermittent wiping has seven speed settings, 3,6,9, 12, 15, 18 seconds and speed dependent. The driver also has the capacity to adjust these via a switch with seven settings.
The programmable wash and wipe sequence is driver controlled. With a depression of the wash/wipe switch between 40 milliseconds and 1.2 seconds the wash pump will be activated for a duration of 1.2 seconds. When the wash/wipe switch is depressed for longer than 1.2 seconds the wash pump wild be activated for the duration of switch depression, a 10 second duration is the maximum available. The wiping system is automatically activated with the depression of the wash switch.
Where fitted, moisture sensitive wiping will be initiated when the vehicle is running and not in the PARK or NEUTRAL gear selection (gear engaged on vehicles). The wiper switch must be in the AUTO position.
