Description of Construction and Operation

GENERAL INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION

Rear wiper control [Initial condition: 8 seconds (without successive operations)]





1. When the rear wiper switch on the column switch is turned ON while the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position, ETACS turns the rear wiper relay ON for 3 seconds (for approximately 2 cycles) and operates the intermittent action in 8 seconds interval.
When the selector lever is moved to R (reverse) position during the rear wiper operation, the transmission range switch R (reverse) turns ON, and one second after that, ETACS turns the rear wiper relay ON for 3 seconds (for approximately 2 cycles), and operates the intermittent action in 8 seconds interval again.

2. By the special operation of the rear wiper switch on the column switch (2 consecutive operations), the rear wiper can operate continuously regardless on the set intermittent time.

NOTE:
Using the customization function, the rear wiper intermittent time can be adjusted. (Refer to Rear Wiper and Washer.)

Rear wiper linked with washer function Initial condition: with function





When the rear washer switch on the column switch is turned ON while the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position, ETACS turns the rear washer relay ON.
The rear washer relay turns ON after the rear washer switch has been ON for 0.3 seconds, then turns the rear wiper relay ON to operate the rear wiper simultaneously. When the rear washer switch is turned OFF, after 3 seconds the rear wiper is turned OFF.
If the rear washer switch is turned ON during the rear wiper operation, 7.4 seconds after turning OFF the rear wiper relay turns OFF, the intermittent action is resumed in 8 seconds interval.
NOTE:
Using the customization function, the washer linked rear wiper function can be invalidated.
