Windscreen Wipers ?

Post by Barney » Sat Feb 15, 2014 10:30 pm

Rather than digging the handbook out again, silly I know but how do you get intermittent wipers on an E70 with auto wiper function and how do you adjust the speed ?
There's and adjustment switch on the stalk but I either get one wipe (stalk down) or constant (2 speeds) with it pushed up ?

hi the end stalk button until green light illuminates.  Then sensitivity of sensor is set via the multi position switch housed within the stalk itself.

I'm sure I tried that, didn't seem to react to rain ? I'll try again, is there no intermittent without auto mode ?

Have you pushed the button and moved the thumbwheel in the stalk to increase the sensitivity?  That works on mine, and no there is no non-auto intermittent wipe.

I'm sure I did but I'll give it another try before the warranty runs out  :)
