Construction and function of the switch cluster

The steering column switch cluster in this model is responsible for controlling the front wipers and additional functions, depending on the vehicle configuration. The stalk design is engineered to:

• enable convenient wiper operation without taking your hands off the steering wheel,
• provide clear tactile feedback for switch positions, making it easier to feel the selected mode,
• work with the steering column electronics and vehicle comfort systems.

By using an original part from the Steering Columns group, compatibility with factory wiring, connectors, and mounts is maintained, which reduces the risk of issues during installation and subsequent operation.

• Stable wiper system operation – proper interaction with control modules and wiper operation logic.
• Consistent interior aesthetics – black housing color matched to original cockpit elements.
