Autopilot/AutoWipers

[Mr Speirs]

I’ve just noticed the when driving in Autopilot that the wipers can never be switched to off. Only way to have them ‘off’ is to keep them in Auto.

However the AutoWiper system is awful. Driving in bone dry conditions last night and the wipers start and just won’t stop. Had to drive all the way home and avoid using autopilot as the squeaking and damage to the wiper blades was doing ny head in!

I’m sure it’s a new update due to the reliance on the cameras but this is daft!
Either they sort the autowipers to actually work or allow us to disengage it on Autopilot.

My car has got worse.

Take a long read of the 2022.28.x thread. You are not alone....

Did you try spraying the window? Assume there was something on the camera.

Yes, it can be worth having a washing-up sponge in the car (the ones with the "gentle" nylon abrasive pad on one side that you can use on non-stick pans). They are fine to use on glass without leaving scratches and are good at removing marks from squashed insects... which is sometimes the source of auto dry wiping. Spray the camera area in the centre of the windscreen and give a rub. [ @Mr Speirs please don't come back with "I shouldn't have to do this, it's ridiculous" ... yes, we know ... and we feel your pain.]

Take it out of autopilot touch the stalk to bring up wipers then turn it off
