Headlight cleaning system

The headlight cleaning system is offered as optional equipment. The JBE performs the activation of the washer pump for the headlight cleaning system. The headlight cleaning system only functions when the driving light is switched on. The headlight cleaning system is activated every fifth time the windscreen washer is operated. Switch-off of terminal R causes the repeat interlock and the counter for the number of washing procedure activations to be reset.
