How to Lift the Wiper on a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
Here are the steps to lift the wiper on a Volkswagen: 1. After turning off the vehicle or shutting down the power, within 10 seconds, pull the wiper switch towards the steering wheel. 2. The wiper blade will automatically move to the middle of the windshield, and then you can manually lift the wiper. 3. Finally, turn on the power and then the wiper switch to reset it. Below is some additional information about car wipers: 1. The wiper is an important accessory installed on the windshield. 2. Its function is to remove rain, snow, and dust that obstruct the view on the windshield, playing a crucial role in driving safety. 3. Wipers can be categorized by their driving methods into mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric types. 4. Modern cars generally use electric wipers, which have the advantages of simple structure and convenient control. 5. An electric wiper consists of a motor, crank, connecting rod, wiper arm, and blade. When the motor rotates, it drives the crank and connecting rod to work, causing the wiper arm and blade to move across the glass.
I encountered this issue when I first started using my car. I remember one time it was raining and I wanted to replace the wiper blades. The steps are actually quite simple: first, turn off the engine, sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then push and hold the wiper control lever downward for about five seconds. At this point, the wipers will automatically move to the service position in the middle of the windshield. After that, you can gently lift the wiper arms manually for cleaning or replacement. Once done, start the engine and the wipers will return to their original position. The key point is not to operate while the engine is running, as it could damage the motor or the blades. I've made it a habit to do this before washing the car, which extends the lifespan of the parts and is also safer. The first time I did it, I was worried about making mistakes, but after reading the manual or watching online videos, I got the hang of it.
