When I'm driving and there is rain, I notice that this interval changes to anywhere from 5 seconds to a little over 10 seconds. But, it never goes any faster that 5 second intervals, and never slower than 10. This is with the "sensitivity" adjustment on the highest setting. It almost feels like they are just doing speed-sensitive wiping instead of rain-sensitive, but I wasn't sure if these cars had that feature.
I feel like there were situations when they should have been wiping much faster, but still stuck to that 5 second interval. Is this how your wipers work too?

You need to realize that the wiper stalk does not return to a home position. Once put in position 1 it will stay there unless turned off, flipping the stalk up to now position 2 the wipers are now on a timer.
