After 3.5 years - I've found a new feature......
Well - the car continues to surprise with little things I didn't know existed. With the wiper control in 'off' flip down to give a single normal wipe. I'm sure you all new that. However I didn't realise that if you hold the control arm down you get instant 'high speed' wiping. Just the thing when suddenly hit by the wake from a passing vehicle or such like - Great idea. Is it in TFM? I haven't read about it there.
Another idea and feature.

On the factory fit PTI pull the green paddle, press the "#" key and green button again for last number redial.

It is in mine; page 120, Washers and Wipers.
"Single wipe
Pull the lever down and release immediately.
Note: With the lever held down, the wipers will operate at fast speed until the lever is released."
one day I will read the manual...The next American ex-pat that calls it a "truck" is going to find out what 2.7 tons feels like on their foot...

They obviously sussed you as a monoglot Englishman, not a sophisticated European like me.
