not quite getting whats up with my auto lights and wipers?
i have noticed when auto wipers are on the lights automatically come on, which is fine i understand why the designers would want that to happen.
the bit im not understanding is why the lights don't turn off again in bright sunlight when the wipers are turned off? i left them for 10 minutes or so before manually turning the lights off myself so i could see the screens better but i immediately switched them back to auto and they stayed off. this happened a fair few times and has happened ever time i have used the wipers in the past so i assumed this is how they worked but then one time when i turned the auto wipers off it remained cloudy and dull and dark (a point where i would normally turn my lights on) and the lights turned off after 10 15 mins??
this wouldnt normally irritate me but driving through the early april showers when it was dull and dark to super bright sunshine again 10 minutes later it would have been nice for the automatic system to be "automatic" without the need for me to reset it.
i also noticed the auto wipers do strange things like random double wipes and randomly try to clean a dry windscreen when it's not raining and react perfectly to a change in rain intensity on some occasions and horrendously slow on others and some times selecting completely the wrong type of wipe altogether???
is this just nature of the beast with these types of systems? is it a "peugeotism" or do i have a problem??
i'd also like to confirm none of the sensors where obstructed or covered up or dirty.
