Smile Cool thing about the windshield wipers

Today while I was going to lunch from my office I had the wipers on regular speed during a rain storm. Everytime I came to a complete stop the wipers changed to the intermitent speed I had set on the wiper stalk. I would start moving again and the wipers would return to regular speed. I've owned my 2Is for nearly 11 months and never noticed that. I just thought it was cool.

I have only the premium package with winter floor mats and the trunk mat as my only extra options, so I am sure it does not have rain sensing wipers. I still have to turn the switch to activate the wipers. Rain sensing wipers should automatically start when they detect rain, or so I think.

I think I have it, but won't really know if it works since I don't plan to drive the car when it rains. Maybe I'll test when I wash the car next year

If you have rain sensing wipers you will need to move the wiper stalk one notch down from off for them to rain sense.
