BMW 5 Series: Steering column switches
In the G30, the turn signal/high beam switch and the wash/wipe switch
immediately engage when
operated. The one-touch signalling and headlight flasher continue to function as
before. This measure
was implemented in response to customer requests. The one-touch button will
gradually disappear
from BMW vehicles.

Wash/wipe switch
The rain sensor mode is activated at the first detent position. An LED on the
wash/wipe switch
indicates that the rain sensor mode is activated.
Following a terminal change, the rain sensor mode is automatically activated
when the vehicle travels
over 5 km/h / 3 mph. The LED on the wash/wipe switch indicates that the rain
sensor mode has been
reactivated.
The rain sensor mode is already included in the standard equipment.
