First I apologize if this has been asked before but I could not find in a quick search.
I have just noticed that my windshield wipers do not appear to be "stowing" away. What brought my attention to this is I heard click when I wash washing my windshield. This was the drivers side blade moving to far and hitting the side. I then watched the wipers and it does not appear that they stow away. When I got home I was able to manually move them into the stow position however as soon as I started the car they moved into the ready to wipe position. ( where they used to sit when on intermediate wipe) I have looked around the main screen and cannot see a place where "stow" wiper blades might be. Is there a way I can reset this?
Thanks for your help

Move your control arm down 1 slot.

Is there a screw you remove and move down? Sorry I have never done this.

He's talking about the stalk on the right side of the steering wheel column. Move it down one position so it's not in the 'Auto' position.
