If the windshield wipers are on and the transmission is put into reverse gear, the tailgate wiper will go into intermittent wiping function1.

This function is deactivated when a different gear is selected.

If the tailgate wiper is in the normal (continuous) wiping mode, selecting different gears will not affect its function.
