When the windshield washer switch on the column switch is turned ON while the ignition switch is in ACC or ON position, ETACS turns the windshield washer relay ON.

When the windshield washer switch is kept ON for 0.35 second or longer, the windshield wiper relay (the wiper relay output time varies depending on the conditions. For details, refer to the table below.) is turned ON, and the windshield wiper operates at high speed. The windshield wiper is turned OFF with 3 seconds delay after the windshield washer switch is turned OFF.

Even when the windshield washer switch is turned ON while the windshield wiper is operating intermittently, the intermittent action starts again after the linked operation is finished.

If the ignition switch is turned to ACC position while the windshield washer switch is ON, the windshield washer relay turns ON, but the windshield wiper does not perform the linked operation. When the windshield washer switch is turned OFF and then ON, the windshield wiper starts the linked operation.

NOTE:

Using the customization function, the washer linked windshield wiper function can be invalidated (Refer to CUSTOMIZATION FUNCTION ).
Using the customization function, when the washer linked windshield wiper function is invalidated, only the washer operates. It is useful to melt ice from the frozen windshield.
