Freelander II. Wipers stay in the mode selected (off, auto, on,
fast). So left in auto they can trigger unexpectedly.


Yes. That's why I expected the arrangment on the cars I had with it the
norm. H&S often taking precedence over convenience. Although I'd always
switch off the wipers before stopping the engine anyway. Unless you like
them parked in the middle of the screen. ;-)


Wipers have long had an unswitched power feed to allow parking after youve
turned the ignition off.
