How to Activate the Rear Windshield Washer?

Steps to activate the rear windshield washer: 1. Rotate the top knob forward until the white dot aligns with 'on' to turn on the rear wiper; 2. Continue rotating the knob forward to align the white dot with the symbol above 'on' and hold for a few seconds to spray water on the rear windshield. Wipers, also known as windshield wipers, are devices used to remove rain and dust from the vehicle's windshield, improving driver visibility and enhancing driving safety. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs are also equipped with wipers. Besides cars, other transportation vehicles such as trains and trams are also fitted with wipers.
Operating the rear windshield washer is actually quite simple. I've been driving for over ten years, and every time it rains or the rear window gets dirty, I rely on it to clean. Generally speaking, most car models have a small button or a specific section on the wiper control lever. You can press it downward or push it forward with your finger to spray water, and the wiper will automatically swipe a few times to clean the glass. If no water comes out, it might be because the windshield washer fluid is empty—check if the reservoir in the trunk is full, or if the pipes are clogged, causing poor water flow. I often refill the washer fluid before long trips and test the spray nozzle for blockages, using a fine needle to gently clean it if needed. Don’t overlook this—cleaning the rear window directly affects visibility and safety, especially when driving at night. Remember not to get distracted while operating it; it’s best to do this when parked or driving slowly to avoid affecting your driving. I recommend checking the washer fluid level once a month to avoid issues at critical moments.
