Default Wipers to Service Position
Did you guys know, if you turn your engine off and hit the wiper stalk down for one wipe, it will leave the wipers in service mode?

No more having to go through the computer and selecting service mode on or off! Just hit the wiper stalk once your engine is off and BAM! It leave it in the service position!

I do that every time I get home if it is snowing, going to snow or freezing rain. Makes it easier to free the wipers if they get iced onto the screen.

As always, remember to clear the ice from the wipers before you start the car to avoid damaging the motor.
