Rain-sensing wipers

Does the 2020 G63 not have rain sensing wipers, is there was on/off switch, or is there something wrong with my vehicle? Also find it strange that the lane departure system doesn’t keep you between the lanes like other Mercedes models. Why are we missing these features?

Turn off wipers completely on stalk. then click up one is water auto-sensing 1 (less sensitive), then another click is more sensitive. Above those the wipers are on at different settings. but one and two are auto-sensing.

No luck. Guess I’m going to have to bring into the dealer. Didn’t work from day one... so odd

Cover the rain sensor on the windshield with a piece of non transparent paper or tape. That will trick it to thinking that it's raining really hard. Then put the stalk in the auto position and see if it goes.

problem is, when I turn stalk to the first 2 positions, they never start to swipe at a consistent rate and never stop.
