Should the wipers auto park whe ignition it turned off?

[Jaywoo_A3]

I have not owned the Audi for long but I noticed last night when I turned the car off the wipers just stopped, I expected them to auto park back to the bottom of the screen.
Is this correct to how the should work or should there be some kind of run on after the ignition is turned off?

The car is a A4 Avant 2006, 2.0tdi 140.

Just to add the car is not fitted with rain or light sensors for auto light and wipers.

They wont park if you turn the ignition off.

Seems a little odd to me as I thought all modern car do it,

Clearly your car isnt modern enough then

No they don't. I always wait for them to park before switching the ignition off.

It is actually a clever feature, it's so you can stop your wipers halfway in winter to hold your piece of cardboard on....

Some of the newist Mercedes auto adjust the wipers when you pop the bonnet to gain enough clearance

Just seem weird how my golf is 6 months older but has the auto park feature,

Anyway thank you for all the help, I has stopped me thinking I have a problem.

Maybe 6 months deifference but a different generation. Basically the B7 is still the generation of the B6 so its a 2001 relased design from a project that probaly started in 1998. Mk5 gold was launch in 2003, whole new design and the project was probably started in 2000, so they are more likey to be 2 years apart really.

That makes sense. I was told the CAN-BUS was a old system compared to the golf as the Audi was still based on a b6.
