The Jet Wiper marks a new era for windshield cleaning: nozzle elements integrated in the wiper arm spray the washer fluid directly in front of the wiper blade without spray mist impairing visibility for the driver.

Conventional windshield cleaning systems are designed for a certain driving speed: airstream increases along with speed, the washer fluid spray is deflected, less fluid reaches the wiper field and cleaning performance is correspondingly less effective. Apart from driver visibility, camera- and sensor-based driver assistance systems behind the windshield are also impaired or can even switch off entirely.
The innovative Jet Wiper arm directs the washer fluid exactly where it is needed and at the exact volume required. These measures make for efficient utilization of the washer fluid and up to 50 percent can be saved. What is more, the perfect function of optical systems such as cameras or LiDAR arranged in the wiper field is ensured, thereby creating the conditions for autonomous driving of the future.
The Jet Wiper is supplied with washer fluid via a pump connected to the tank. The washer fluid is fed through integrated tubes to the cleaning nozzles in the wiper arm from where it is sprayed exactly in front of the wiper blade – without impairing the driver’s visibility. Thanks to the non-return valves integrated in the nozzle elements, washer fluid is available immediately, swiftly ensuring a clear view and therefore enhanced driving safety.
In order to guarantee smooth operation even under the most adverse weather conditions and at winter temperatures, the system is fully heatable on request, whereby heating can be activated in the tube system and nozzle elements as required and depending on the external temperature.
