Windscreen wiper/washer
When I use the windscreen washer function I press and hold the button, the windscreen wipers start and THEN the water comes out, which means there is one waterless scrape before cleaning. I'm not sure but I thought when I first got the car that the water started BEFORE the wipers. Can you try yours and let me know what happens please?

I'm totally guessing on this one, but I imagine the safety engineers thought that if the wiper was only activated after the spray then you could be theoretically temporarily blinded while driving with the windshield covered in washer fluid. It is annoying, though, and ain't nice on the wipers. Just a guess.
