Brief description


Saab 9-5 is equipped with a washer and wiper system for cleaning the windscreen and headlamps.

The operational functions of the system are actuated via a control switch on the right-hand side of the steering wheel and with the help of DICE, see DICE (Dashboard electronics) .

The washer and wiper system comprises:

Windscreen wipers

The windscreen wiper assembly is located under the cover beneath the windscreen. It consists of a motor, an arm linkage and two wiper arms with wiper blades. The operational functions are controlled by DICE with the help of an intermittent wiper relay.

The windscreen wipers have two speeds (high/low) and one intermittent wiper position, the frequency of which can be regulated to intervals of between 2 and 15 seconds by a control on the control switch.

Rear window wiper

The rear window wiper is located on the tailgate and comprises a motor and a wiper arm with wiper blade. The washer jets are located by the wiper arm mounting on the tailgate and direct the washer fluid upwards on each side of the wiper blade.

The function is controlled by DICE. The rear window wiper has an intermittent position. The interval between wiper strokes cannot be adjusted.

Headlamp wipers

A headlamp wiper is located under each headlamp. The wipers are activated whenever the windscreen washers are switched on.

Washer assembly

The washer assembly is located at the front of the left-hand front wing. It consists of a reservoir with two pumps and a level monitor. There are hoses leading to the nozzles on the bonnet, headlamp wiper arms and the rear wiper arm mounting. See:
