Default After using the washers on the windshield, the wipers wipe...

...three times (IIRC), pause for a second or two and then make one final wipe. At least that is what happens in my wife's '05 S4.

Default You can cancel that by...

When you pull back the arm to initiate the windshield cleaning, it will do its thing, then after the pause or during it you can push the lever down (vice pulling it) and it will reset the sequence (same motion as the manual one stroke). So I pull it, get the fluid and three wipes and on the third one push it down.

I actually love that feature. I always followed up with an extra wipe - now I don't have to.

Yeah, I love it too, I always thought it was one of those quirky German qualities that sets us apart
