Abstract
An electric switch for operating a windshield wiper and washer system of a motor vehicle has a switch housing, in which a switching member for operating the wiper system in a selected operation mode is swivelably mounted from a neutral position around a first axis in at least one optional position and a switch lever which, for operating the washer system from a neutral position into an operational position, is swivelably mounted on the switching member around a second axis preferably perpendicularly intersecting the first axis. By a single actuation, it is possible by switching on the washer system to also switch on the wiper system. Therefore in a first position, preferably in the neutral position of the switching member, the switch lever, when being swivelled around the second axis into an operation position, is swivelable together with the switching member compulsorily around the first axis at least to such an extent that, after release of the switch lever, the switch lever reaches, together with the switching member, a second position of the switching member.
