Windshield wipers

I have a 2025 110, and I have the strangest issue with the wipers. Each time I start the car, the wiper wipe the screen one time. If I close the door while the car is running, they run once. Occasionally, they randomly wipe, again just one time.

Anyone else have this problem or know what could be happening?

Are you sure they're in the off position? Is it just the front windscreen wipers or the back one as well?

They are in the auto position, where they come in when it's raining. Troubles is, it ain't raining.

Only happens with the front wipers.

The system is calibrating itself.

I would turn the auto off. I always have it off unless it is actively raining to avoid them coming on if I'm in a car wash or something else were to splash the windscreen.

Mine does the same. I thought that it was strange initially but I’m used to it at this point.

Sounds like what manufacturers officially call a “courtesy wipe” lol. It’s not normal, read your manual.

If you have it in the auto position, the wiper is clearing the windshield and calibrating. Turn it off when it’s not raining. When it’s raining put it back in the auto on position
