intermitant windsheild wipers
what's up everybody. it's been a long time since i've been on here, but i wanted to see if anyone else has noticed this. i'm sure someone has...maybe i'm just not that observant, but last night i noticed that...
having the wipers set to the top intermitant setting at a stop holds the wipers down for a second or two, then releases them again. but as you go above 25 mph, they go constantly (there's no delay between cycles). then as you slow down to below 10 mph they delay again. i thought this was freakin' awesome...never noticed it before.

yea i noticed it a month ago in a storm, cause i was driving and it went faster, and i got used to it, and it pissed me off cause when i'm at stop i had to turn them up again...
. I thought it was pretty cool too.

yeah, they're speed sensetive, no matter what intermittent setting it's on. you probably just noticed the change on the high setting. what'd be cool is if they sensed the rain and started on their own.

I'm with you on both of those.

I noticed this while learning to drive my car about 3 hours after buying it... it kinda added to the coolness of having a new car... again, it seems like more of a luxury car feature but I've made good use out of it. In hindsight, that probably wasn't the best idea to be driving in the rain my first time in a stick.
If they really annoy you look in section 54B of the manual under SWS configuration. There is a way to disable the speed sensing part function along with settings for all of the other sws modules
