My 2010 has the courtesy wipe feature. I have read that on the 2011's they have a feature to disable this. I wish mine did. But I have to admit, every time I wash my windshield and I get the "courtesy wipe", I have to chuckle a little bit, pondering to myself, is the "courtesy wipe" related to the "courtesy flush"?

 

I think it makes it worse...

 

Wish I could turn it off.

 

Don't forget to wipe before you flush.

 

I don't get it- what does it do?

 

After turning on the window washer, and running the pumps, the wipers continue to run for a cycle and stop. Then, 5 or 8 seconds later it gives one more wipe cycle to clean up whatever drippings might be drifting down. Kind of a pain. I'd rather flick em on myself if the w/s needed it. Not everything needs to be automated. If there was a way to kill that feature, on the '10's, I'd sure like to know.

 

A lot of times when you cycle the washer/wiper setup the fluid starts running down from the top of the windshield again shortly after the cycle has completed - my guess is that the courtesy deal is supposed to get that last bit of fluid.

It should be called something other than a courtesy wipe though - too many ways to interpret that wrong...lol

 

I hate it.

 

It's a PIA, I bypass it by doing my own wipe right after the wash cycle

 

This feature doesn't work worth a dam.

 

I actually like the feature... Sorry, I wish I knew how to turn it off for you guys that don't like it!!

 

My '08 does that. The first time I experienced it I was like "WTF?!?"

 

I have no problem with it. Works for me.

 

First time I did it.... I was like "hmmm that was nice"...... now I have it timed and say out loud.... "here comes the wipe"....usually followed by some eyes rolling by my gf......

Works fine for me....

 

lol mine is disabled on my 2011. I wish it gave me a real courtesy wipe after a long hard day at work
