Question regarding auto rear wipe when raining
Just wanted to know. When it's raining and I select reverser should the auto wiper engagement feature function if auto wipers on the front is selected?
I've got the auto rear when raining selected in settings, and I've noticed if front wipers are being used in manual settings the auto rear operates, but when front is on auto the rear doesn't. Is that correct? |

In the scenario you've described, I've always found that the rear wiper activates in time with the front.
So, if the wipers have activated just before you hit reverse the rear wiper doesn't do anything, however, if the front wiper goes just after you drop the gearbox in to reverse then the rear wiper will go at the same time. |

Thanks guys. So just to clarify, if the auto is selected on the stalk when it's in reverse will the rear wipe function when in reverse?

What I described was referring to when auto front wipers are activated; if autowipers are not activated then the rear wiper will only ever activate through the use of the dedicated switch on the end of the stalk or by activating the wash function.

Or if front wipers are turned on manually (the rear wiper only swipes when reversing when front wiper is swiping.
