Headlamp Powerwash System

The headlamp powerwash system incorporates a chromed twin nozzle assembly mounted on the chromed bumper blade immediately in front of each pair of headlamps. Each nozzle assembly is connected via snap fittings to a powerwash pump mounted adjacent to the windshield wash pump on the rear face of the washer fluid reservoir. The powerwash system operates in conjunction with the windshield washers when the ignition switch is in position II and the headlamp switch is in the dip or main beam position. When powerwash is initially activated, a wash cycle commences, consisting of two 400 ms pulses separated by a three second delay. If powerwash is still selected on completion of this cycle, it will continue to operate at the same frequency for a maximum period of 20 seconds. To conserve washer fluid, headlamp powerwash will only function on every sixth operation of the windshield wash switch. When the 'WASHER FLUID LOW' message is illuminated, the windshield washer will continue to operate for a limited period but the headlamp powerwash will not function until the fluid level is restored.
