A vehicle windshield washer system and method for washing the front windshield of a vehicle

摘要

The invention proposes a window-washing system of a vehicle, with a pump (9) which can be brought alternately into connection with spray nozzles (4a, 4b), which system is characterised in that two spray nozzles (4a, 4b) are provided which are both directed onto the windscreen (1) of the vehicle. The method of washing the windscreen of a vehicle, in which two spray nozzles are directed onto the windscreen, is characterised in that the spray nozzles are operated alternately. The invention does not need a high pump pressure for cleaning the windscreen and as a result of the lower power required the overall size of the pump can hence be reduced. Due to the continuous increase and decrease in the jet a larger wetting area of the windscreen is furthermore obtained; since in each case only one spray nozzle is operated the quality of the jet is, moreover, better.
