Checked against the English BEV manual linked below. China-market reports identify the owner question; they do not establish an export defect, a recall or a guaranteed fix. Match the handbook and equipment in your car, and follow current on-screen instructions where software differs.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Use the stalk’s manual low- or high-speed position whenever AUTO is not clearing the glass adequately. When safely parked, check automatic-wiper sensitivity under Settings → Driving if your B10 has that equipment.

The China-market owner report

A B10 owner’s service report says automatic wiping sometimes remained slow in heavy rain. The claimed future OTA improvement is not a confirmed release or a reason to wait with poor visibility.

Before you start

Check that the windscreen is clear of ice, heavy snow or abrasive debris before operating the wipers. The manual covers both rain-sensing and intermittent equipment; identify your own stalk and specification.

What to check

1Restore visibility immediatelyIf AUTO is too slow, select a suitable manual low or high speed using the wiper stalk. Stop safely if you cannot maintain a clear view.
2Identify the fitted wiper systemWhen parked, compare the stalk positions and handbook. Do not expect an automatic-sensitivity menu on a version equipped only with intermittent wiping.
3Review sensitivityOn a rain-sensing vehicle, open Settings → Driving and check the available low, medium or high automatic-wiper sensitivity.
4Check for a repeated faultIf the wipers still fail to clear the screen or behave erratically, document the conditions and arrange inspection. Continue to use an appropriate manual speed.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

An adjusted sensitivity may change the response, but it is not a guaranteed fix for the reported symptom. Do not test by deliberately driving into heavy rain or spraying sensors while the arms are obstructed.

Common questions

Can I keep driving because AUTO is enabled?+

Only if visibility is adequate. Automatic wiping is an aid and manual intervention may be needed.

Does every B10 have automatic sensitivity?+

No. The checked manual marks the rain-sensing and intermittent variants separately.
