Wiper action via Wash Button
I guess it helps to read the owner's manual sometimes. I never knew two these actions were available. Learned today by accident and then read up about the wipers in the owner's manual. If you already knew it, no comments necessary.
I did not know about the two actions in bold. Is nice to learn them instead of twisting the **** to get a single wipe. Hope it helps someone else.
Copy and paste from 2015 SD Owner's Manual
WINDSHIELD WASHERS
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry windshield. This may scratch the glass, damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper motor to burn out. Always use the windshield washer before wiping a dry
windshield.
Note: Do not operate the washers when the washer reservoir is empty. This may cause the washer pump to overheat.
Press the end of the stalk to activate the washer.
• A brief press causes a single wipe without washer fluid.
• A quick press and hold causes the wipers to swipe three times with
washer fluid.
• A long press and hold will activate the wipers and washer fluid for up to 10
seconds.
A wipe will occur a few seconds after washing to clear any remaining washer
fluid. This feature can be turned on and off in the information display.

After using 0000 Steel Wool and rainX on my windshield, that is the most used function for my wipers. A quick press of the button once every 10 minutes or so is all I need to keep the windshield clear.

I learned this same thing about 3 months ago and it's been awesome. 
I've always turned the **** once real quick for a single wipe. Now almost every vehicle I get in I can try the same trick and it works. I feel like I've been in the dark for so long, what else am I missing out on?
