Mechatronic reversing systems for front wipers

Instead of a traditional rotary system, a new mechatronic reversing system is now being used.

There are three types of reversing systems: with the Wiper Compact Module, one wiper arm is powered directly while the second wiper arm is moved via simple kinematics directly connected to the drive. With the Wiper Compact Kit, the connecting tube is additionally dispensed with which leads to a further weight reduction. The Wiper Twin Kit comprises two separate drives which are connected using neither a connection link nor a tube. The solution: the drives communicate directly with each other to avoid collisions by the wipers. This system has the advantage that the freed installation space between the drives can be used for other vehicle components.
