GLE350 Intermittent wipers

I have a new/CPO 2017 and seems like the intermittent wipers don't work. Unless it doesn't have them? Is that possible?

There are a couple of clicks on the control before it's ON full - none of which respond to any rain - or do anything at all. There also seems to be no control wheel for how sensitive/speed it is (my Lexus RX had this). Am I missing something? Something strange buried in menus to turn it on?

So - I'm trying to figure out if it's broken - or non-existant before I take it in for warranty service.

Thanks!

There are two intermittent frequency settings both controlled by the rain sensor. This is unlike nearly all other brand vehicles.

When the first position is chosen, the wipers should swipe once and then return if there is no rain sensed. Position 2 is similar but more frequent.

Position 3 is full time on, position 4 is faster than position 3.
