Power is supplied to the motor by the cam switch and non-actuated contact of the relay F1 k17(pin b) until the
wiper arm has reached its park position. When the park position is reached the cam switch switches over. Then
the two motor connectors are short-circuited and the motor is braked by the eddy-currents.
Then the actual interval wiping starts. The described procedure is repeated for each interval.
Fig. 24: Identifying Windshield Intermittent Wipe Function
Interval actuation without code 345a (without rain sensor)
When the interval time is completed the AAM starts a new wiping procedure. The interval time is speed
dependent and is adjusted between 5 s when parked and 1 s at a speed of 180 km/h by the AAM.
Interval actuation as of 1.9.00 with code 345a (with rain sensor)
When c. 1 is ON: the rain sensor (B38) defines the wiping intervals .
The wiper motor relay (F1 k17) is actuated by the AAM at the intervals defined by the rain sensor (cf.
function sequence above). The relay switches off when c. 31 b (wiper not in park position) is recognized,
however, after 1 s (lock-up) at the latest.
In the event of heavy rain the relay remains actuated, the wiper operates as in stage 1.

WIPER, FUNCTION - GF82.30-P-3004GH
MODEL 163
The function wiping windshield is switched in three stages with the combination switch (S4)
One-touch wiping - press switch lever upward to first catch position (t). The switch lever returns to the
basic position after being released.
Wiping stage 1 - press switch lever upward beyond first catch position (1).
Wiping stage 2 - press switch lever upward beyond second catch point (2).
A connector of the wiper motor (M6/1) is connected to circuit 15. The motor starts operating. When stage 2 is
switched on the other motor connection is switched. The motor operates with higher speed.
When switched back to the basic setting the motor is supplied with power by c. 15 via the non-actuated contact
of relay F1k17 (b) until the wiper arm has reached its park position. In this position, the cam switch brakes the
motor by short-circuiting (eddy-current brake)
