## Abstract

A vehicle is provided to include a wiper, a wiper driver that is connected to the wiper and configured to provide a driving force for rotation of the wiper, and a multi-function switch that is configured to receive a user command to turn the wiper driver on or off. A controller is configured to adjust a position of the wiper to enter a parking state after a preset time when a local interconnect network (LIN) communication system enters a limp home mode and the rotation of the wiper is stopped by a signal for turning off the wiper driver.

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-7. (canceled)

### Claim 8

A control method of vehicle, comprising:
entering, by a controller, a vehicle Local Interconnect Network (LIN) communication system into a limp home mode;
receiving, by the controller, a user command to turn rotation of a wiper of the vehicle on or off; and
adjusting, by the controller, a position of the wiper to enter a parking state after a preset time when the rotation of the wiper is stopped by a signal for turning off the rotation of the wiper.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The control method of claim 8, further comprising:
measuring, by the controller, a waiting time after the rotation of the wiper is stopped; and
adjusting, by the controller, the position of the wiper to enter the parking state when the measured waiting time reaches the preset time.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The control method of claim 9, further comprising:
operating, by the controller, the wiper to maintain rotation of the wiper when the waiting time does not reach the preset time.

### Claim 11 (depends on 9)

The control method of claim 9, further comprising:
initializing, by the controller, the measured waiting time when the waiting time does not reach the preset time and a signal for turning off the wiper rotation is not detected,

### Claim 12 (depends on 9)

The control method of claim 9, further comprising:
operating, by the controller, a wiper driver of the wiper not to provide a driving force to the wiper when the wiper is stopped in a parking state.

### Claim 13 (depends on 9)

The control method of claim 9, further comprising:
operating, by the controller, a wiper driver of the wiper not to provide a driving force to the wiper when the position of the wiper is stopped at a position equal to or less than a preset angle in the parking state.

### Claim 14 (depends on 9)

The control method of claim 9, wherein the preset time is set according to user input.
