Failing that am I imagiining this?
That's exactly what that is for. However the symbol on it is counter-intuitive.
More rain drops (3) means it'll wipe faster (higher intensity)
While less drops (1) means it'll wipe at a slower rate

It seems this rate is also correlated to driving speed
Makes sense to me!

It's one of the features I really like along with the swivelling headlichts when you turn the steering wheel

I have just found out the 360 camera is actually created by satellites in space - I know this is true as my wife told me and as every husbands knows they are never wrong.

At higher speeds, long-pressing the + or - buttons will make it go in 1mph increments as well.

I just realise the other day modern Volvo doesn't have any engine or oil temperature gauge.

Opened the bonnet for the first time yesterday and found that it is held down by a catch each side. Holds it down nice and snug but only one released the first time. Took a couple more pulls of the lever to get both to release.

I hope it's not going to cause any problems.

I've just found that this camera is not so excellent in the rain - the point is that rain drops are keeping just around these cameras on the side mirrors and the image is quite distorted.

I have used mine in the rain and never had any problems - how heavy was the rain?

That if you use the dashboard ticket holder you need to be careful. Placed my car park ticket in the top of dashboard holder (piece of "premium" bendy plastic) the ticket fell out, lost forever between the dash and window.
Next time I'll place the pay and display ticket on the large dashboard.
