How to activate the speed sensing wiper system?

Can any one tell me how to activate the speed sensitive wipers? It doesn't seem like mine are working that way. They still are working at the same speed even when I am parked!!! I dont have rain sensing wipers though!!!

I believe there are 3 (or 2?) different wiper speeds. The 2nd to last one is speed sensing, and the last one should be fast all the time.

Either move your wiper stalk up halfway (not past the click) or there are rumors that a button has appeared at the end of the stalk on late builds.

We had to figure this one out on the ride home yesterday when the rain drops started to fall. Push the button on the end of the wiper stalk and the wipers will come on in the rain sensing mode. The manual tells you to move the stalk up, but that is not how ours works.
