It depends on the amount of rain.Those who have had no problem with the wipers , do you adjust the sensitivity dial on the stalk and if so what position do you move it to, is it on the shortest bars, longest or in the middle.Thanks
@harleyman if you have the SE version of the Long Range Zs there is no auto wipe, only on Trophy versionsAnyone know if there is a auto setting for the 2022 zst vibe? It states in the manual and the spec sheets that there is a rain sensor for the car but there is no auto setting on the stalk... the wipers do not come on when rain starts, also the intermittent mode works with or without water on the windscreen. I'm starting to think i have been had.View attachment 8682

I am having exactly the same issue with the same car. It was working fine for a week now when its on the same setting it is only on the intermittent mode and still goes off if the windscreen is dry and doesn't speed up for rain. WTF! help anyone?Anyone know if there is a auto setting for the 2022 zst vibe?

We took ours into the MG workshop and they found a fault with the wiper sensor, they fixed it but it only lasted 2 days, when we contacted them again they said it will need a system update and they have passed it on to the MG 'engineers'. so we are stuck with a feature that doesn't work with no date of fix.I am having exactly the same issue with the same car.

Also I've noticed that when reversing at night there is not much light at the back of the car you can hardly see anything in the reverse camera, is this how it looks or am I missing a light setting?
My wipers sometimes don't even do anything when I use the wash function. Firstly apply wash and than manualy activate wipers in position 1. I had rain sensor in my previous car, an Audi A5, so I know how it should work. These Chinese cars have many unpolished features it seem like.The auto seems to work after flicking the lever firstly, automatically adjusting the intermittent speed
My zs mk1 sometimes does the same, not sure what triggers it.I call them random wipers. I noticed one day last week that when I put the stalk up to the next notch, which is supposed to be slow speed continuous, they sometimes did a wipe then a pause, then a wipe, then a pause, a bit like intermittent wipers do. What's that all about ?![]()
On the ZS EV when you pull back on the wiper stalk, you should get wash first, followed by about 5 passes of the wipers blades.Mine wipers sometimes dont even do anything when I use wash function. Firstly apply wash and than manualy activate wipers in position 1. I had rain senzor in previuous car Audi A5, so I know how it should work. These Chinese cars has many unpolished features seem like.
I have a theory about that. The wipers are presumably controlled by a PI control loop. I get the feeling that they might be suffering from integral wind-up, and turning them off for a bit resets the control parameters, in particular the I (Integral) factor to zero.When the wipers take on a mind of there own, I find if I turn then OFF leave for a few seconds and then select the first intermediate setting, they calm down !

Yep thats my guess toI guess it uses the camera too to monitor rain on the windscreen.
