I discovered something yesterday !

Many times I will use my tow haul to help bring down the truck and 5er ...

just punch the button and it will coast down to a stop without wear and tear on the brakes
(my 'logic'? brakes are a wear item and tranny has a 100k warranty)

at any rate, the wife's audi has all the controls on the opposite side of the wheel and so I push the wrong control sometimes when I swap cars...
yesterday I went to punch the tow haul on the truck and punched the end of the wiper blade instead ...

Boy was I surprised when the wipers made the one sweep courtesy wipe and stopped !!!!

I had to try it again to make sure what I did -
cool beans - our TRUCK sure has some nice features on it !!!

but some of the fun was lost when blondie said STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR STALK !

And if you use the wash function, the courtesy wipe will be an additional wipe a few seconds after your done washing, for the fluid that runs back down the windshield.
