Look artRoger. He's like Mr. Audi with all these answers.RKM is correct - the ring around the switch illuminates when the lights are automagically on - and the green icon too...
As for the wipers, when they're in the rain sensing position, they are "poised" a little bit above the "off" position, but I don't observe a "jerk a bit." Remember that if you turn off the car while swiping (or about to) they will continue their cycle to set in the next ready position, even if that continuation is a second or two AFTER you switch off the ignition ...

I believe I read somewhere that this is by design so that the wiper blades and edges do not take a "set", especially if the wipers aren't used that often. This slight movement causes the rubber blade to "flip" every time you start the car. Or at least that seems to be how it works for me.
This is an interesting take that I have NOT read nor observed - but could possibly make sense - If anyone finds documentation for it, please share !!I believe I read somewhere that this is by design so that the wiper blades and edges do not take a "set", especially if the wipers aren't used that often.

RKM is right about this. I turned my lights to auto in full sunlight and the circular dial was not lite, just the word "Auto". When I entered my relatively dark garage the headlights came on and the dial lite up. Thanks, RKM!I thought the circular dial where the headlight knob is lights up when the headlights are on.
On the wipers jerking, I have the same situation. I thought it was maybe because I always keep them in the rain sensing position and not in the off position.
I always turned my wipers off before shutting down the engine until having the auto feature on my '06 A4. Did not notice a jerk on that and not in the few days with my Q3.RKM is right about this.

I have my wipers in the full off position when I shut off the Q and they jerk. I think you guys maybe on to something. Maybe the blades jerk such that the blades are not always bent/folded in the same position/direction after long periods of not being used.
