Hidden rear wiper feature

[fredp45069]

I just discovered while in Reverse if I pull down on the wiper stalk, the rear wiper and the front wiper will make one pass. That is a nice feature to help while backing up and no mention of it in the manual.

It's a fairly common feature of a lot of European vehicles... Also if the wipers are going, and you put it in reverse, it'll wipe

Also if you have the wipers on and come to a stop, the speed will reduce one step.
For example if you have the wipers on speed 1 and come to a stop, the speed will reduce to intermittent.

If the front wipes are on and you put the car in reverse, the rear wiper will also come on.
