You can control this feature through the radio menu too

Yup - I discovered this too - thanks to a sheep that decided to take a stroll across the notorious Cockbridge-Tomintoul road.

i may be imagining this, but does the intermittent wiper timer shorten when you speed up ?

I found that if you dont wear seatbelt and get over 10 mph there is a bit of manic ringing from the dash.

Before anyone says I shouldnt be driving without belt, I was moving my car out of garage off private land for about 100 yds, to gated area. once the gate was locked put belt on before moving off into traffic.
