I was crusing my manual and came accross this option

But why would you? Got them on my Platinum (Oz) top of the range model and don't use them. Don't like the speed at which they react, also give a single sweep every time you start up - even if the windscreen is dry, thereby wearing out the blades real quick!, and country cruising a bug-splat over the sensor will also set them off. I leave on manual and give a sweep when needed.

Prefer to use RainX to help keep the windscreen clear. My opinion only, but don't necessarily like them.

My Rondo has it. It can even adjust the wipe speed.

Once I detect rain, I turn them on. :D I have never had any problems with that. Always works as I need it to.
