Rain Sensor Wipers

[844PHW]

To me the XC60 auto-sensor is a valuable feature and I am entirely happy with how it works. You just turn it on if you want it.

After owning my car for about 18 months, my wife asked how I made the wipers work without pressing the stalk, told her and got told off for not telling her sooner about it. Appears it was my responsibility to make sure she knew about everything in the car, did mention that there is a fairly big book in the glove box that is full of interesting stuff about how to make things work.

Thought it was stereotypical blokes that don't read instruction books!

The answer, as someone else pointed out is to flick it up. Windscreen cleared, auto stays on.

Surprise, surprise; some like it, some don't. A bit like most things in life really

True.LOL

I found the flick up a few weeks ago although to me "flick up is off"

Dont say the bit in inverted commas to quickly it sounds a little rude......
