Took the RR up to Mammoth Mountain, California this weekend and experienced a small storm with the truck. Had a few questions and things I noticed.

1. Is it normal for the parking sensor to intermittently go off while its snowing? Anyway to mitigate this?

2. I couldn't figure out how to raise the windshield wipers off the windshield so they wouldn't freeze overnight.

3. what's the best mode for driving in snow? (I used slippery).

thanks in advance.

Hit by 43" over 48 hours in Tahoe a couple weeks ago. Truck handled like an absolute champ in the snow.

1. Driving the snow and ice caked onto the sensors quickly and once one was covered i got the message that they were all shut off. I sprayed a little WD-40 on each sensor and that kept snow from building up too much for the drive out.

2. Only way i know for this is to slide them half way up the windshield and then raise them up. (honestly, totally forgot to do that)

3. Mostly used slippery mode and it worked very well, switched into 4H though. Had to switch to offroad for some tricky winding residential road and the engaged rear locker helped a lot.
