Speed Sensing Wipers

Do all G37's come with Speed Sensing Wiper Interval located under Comfort and Conv. settings menu?

check 4-17 from the owners manual. It doesn't say "if so equipped" so thought it was standard. I don't remeber seeing in mine.

Too be honest I have no idea how the SWI works. I have mine set but never notice any changes. To answer your question I'd have to say NO not ALL G37s come with this feature it would most likely require a Premium package.

I also found this option enabled but do not really notice a difference, From what I read it only work when the wiper lever is in the first position which is intermidiate. Thought this mode was controlled only by the selected delay time.

Yeah its definitely from that. Especially if the cooking source isn't vented. Where do you think all those grease laden vapors are going? Grease and water don't mix.

yes *agree*
also grease+ dust is the worst thing that can happen, if that's the case personally i rather park it outside

im in the restaurant business and well that's just im very familiar with wut happens with vaporized oil. ur whole car in time will have one nasty grease+dust film, removable by strong degreaser or oven cleaner, soap just dont cut it if it's caked on

Some stuff in the manual only applies to the Sedan...

...and so I'm guessing (could be wrong) it doesn't apply to our coupes.
