Hopefully this isn't answered somewhere else, if it is then I apologise !
I 'got' the auto-wipers with the auto-dimming mirror option (which was what I actually wanted) on my '07 Avant and I find them to be very frustrating: they sometimes work fine but on most occasions I get fed-up of waiting for a wipe whilst peering through a rain-covered screen and have to switch the wipers to continuous wipe then off again.
I understand that you can adjust the sensitivity via the column switch and I have read elsewhere that the sensitivity needs to be increased in darker lighting conditions (although this isn't clear from the manual imho). However I still don't find the performance of this 'driver aid' acceptable.
Has anyone else got experience of this ? Can the dealer adjust the sensitivity of the system ?:confused:
