As far as I know there are 3 ways to get the wipers into service position: first is from the vehicle menu, second is from the exit screen where its one of the options, and third is to press the wiper button on the end of the stalk as you are exiting.
All of these approaches I have used, but here's my question. None of them work consistently or all the time. Most notably the two approaches using menus, about half the time, the option to put the wipers in service position is greyed out.
As an example, yesterday I had some errands to do. When I got to the first stop, as I exited the car the exit menu had the service position option greyed out. Did my errand, got back in the car and drove to a second location. As I exited the service position option was now available. No other changes. Similarly I have used the "stalk button" most often but sometimes it works and sometimes not. On my Tiguan pressing the wiper stalk down after the car is shut off but before exiting always works.
Am I doing something weird/wrong, or is there something I am missing?
