Hi, The rear wiper keeps activiting when it is not raining, I have the wheel set to the setting which shows a single raindrop which means I assume it automatically starts if it detects rain, however it is turning on and off in the dry every minute or so.

Hi,

The rear wiper keeps activiting when it is not raining, I have the wheel set to the setting which shows a single raindrop which means I assume it automatically starts if it detects rain, however it is turning on and off in the dry every minute or so. Is it a faulty sensor or an I doing something wrong? Car is brand new.

Thanks,

N.E.

Could be rear wipers turned on. You push the stalk for that I think?

Don’t think the rear wiper is automatic.

Sounds like you have it set to intermittent. Consult the book!

p.s. It's not automatic.

Check the switch at the end of the stalk, it's likely turned on.
