Using the automatic wipers on the Audi A6L is quite straightforward. The control stalk is located on the right side of the steering wheel - just find the knob marked 'AUTO' and give it a gentle twist to switch to automatic mode. The rain sensor (that small rectangular module at the top center of the windshield) detects rainfall intensity and automatically adjusts wiper speed, eliminating manual adjustments during rain for greater convenience. When setting up, ensure the windshield is clean to prevent dirt from affecting sensor accuracy - periodic cleaning with windshield washer fluid is recommended. Default sensitivity works well for most conditions, but you can fine-tune it via the vehicle settings in the MMI menu if you prefer more aggressive wiping during heavy rain. This feature significantly improves driving safety in wet weather by minimizing distractions. Remember to replace worn wiper blades promptly, as degraded performance can compromise visibility and safety.
