Peugeot 208 automatic wipers sensitivity setttings

Unread post by Peugeotunaz »

Does anyone know if there's any sensitivity settings for automatic wipers on 2014 peugeot 208?
I haven't been able to find anything. Searched in all ECUs I could think of.
Do these settings even exist? Wipers are driving me mad and worst part is I can't use single swipe either because peugeot foolishly decided to remove that function from automatic wiper equipped 208s.
I have diagbox setup and can access pretty much everything on the car.

Simply, No.

The settings are determined by the sunlight / rain sensor and is pre-programmed. I think my X7 had about 19 speed settings.

You will have speed 1, speed 2, Intermittent (which is vehicle speed dependent), 0, single wipe when pressed down or AUTO if you have auto wiping which is again automatic on rain sensitivity.

Ah that's annoying. I only have automatic, off,1 and 2. No 1 swipe option. I thought there might be a way to change something using diagbox.
Another poorly implemented piece of technology by french I guess.

You can briefly pull the stalk towards you (not long enough to activate wash) and that will trigger a single wipe.

Yeah that's what I have to do but sometime it's not enough and others it ends up triggering washer.
Well done Peugeot. What a botched up job.
