In case anyone didn’t figure this out, it is not necessary for the additional steps listed in the manual to put the wipers in maintenance mode — all that is required is after turning the car off, just hold the stalK in the “Mist” position for 5 seconds and they will move to the maintenance position. It’s not necessary to turn the car on again after holding the stalk, as the manual states. This is the same process it was on my previous Audis.
