WINDSCREEN WIPER CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Windscreen wiper control system (60) for controlling a drive mechanism (66) for at least one windscreen wiper arm (14) to effect a reciprocating movement of the at least one windscreen wiper arm within a wiping range (50) between a first position (IW) and a second position (OW). The control system (60) comprises detecting means for detecting, upon activation of the control system, an uncertain position of the windscreen wiper arm (14) within the wiping range but different from the first position (IW). Upon detection of such an uncertain position, the control system (60) returns the windscreen wiper arm (14) to the first position at a predetermined reduced speed, the reduced speed being applied at least in a sub-range (51) of the wiping range in the vicinity of the first position.
