Title: Windscreen wiper does what?
Post by: Tazgal on March 27, 2013, 00:24:53: Every time i start up my car the windscreen wiper gives me one wipe.
Annoying when your windscreen is dirty...i can see the scrap markes :head_butt:

Post by: AlanHo on March 27, 2013, 00:49:57: My car does that when the wiper switch is set to the Auto position. If I switch it to the off position it does not wipe at start-up.

That could be a useful feature on an automatic toilet.

As indeed it does on my FD, much to my annoyance. I need some sort of klaxon to remind me to return the wiper switch to off, as I often experience the dreaded "scrape of doom" during its self test :(

Post by: deringer on March 27, 2013, 11:24:02: It's a self test for the rain sensing wipers, check your manual. Only does it when the wipers are set to auto.
