How to Operate the Wipers on the Elysion?

Operation method of the Elysion wipers: Pull the lever backward to spray washer fluid for the front wipers; rotate the rear wiper control knob to the corresponding position to activate the rear wiper; when in the AUTO position, the wipers will automatically operate when the sensor detects rainfall; push the lever downward to gradually increase the wiper frequency; LO stands for low speed, HI stands for high speed, and OFF is the switch-off position, turn to this position when the wipers are not in use. The Elysion is an MPV model under Dongfeng Honda, with dimensions of 4950 mm in length, 1842 mm in width, and 1711 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2900 mm. In terms of suspension, the Elysion features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension.

When I first drove the Elysion, I also figured out the wiper operation—the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel is the key. Push it down one notch for slow speed, perfect for light rain; push two notches for medium speed, ideal for regular rainy days; push all the way down for fast speed, which works great in heavy downpours. A light upward flick triggers a single wipe, handy for occasional drizzles. To clean the windshield, pull the stalk upward, and the washer will spray while the wipers activate. The rear wiper is operated by twisting the top of the stalk—rotate once to wipe the rear window, pull outward to spray water. Beginners should practice switching modes in a safe area, avoiding dry wiping (which damages the rubber blades) and never forcing the wipers on icy glass. Once familiar, you can adjust flexibly based on rain intensity—clear visibility is crucial while driving.

Having driven an MPV for over a decade, the Elysion's wiper design is quite thoughtful. The main control stalk is on the right side, with a practical three-speed adjustment by pushing downward. The slow setting works quietly in light rain, while a sudden downpour can be handled by quickly switching to the fast setting. For a single wipe, simply pull the stalk upward, and for washer fluid, hold the stalk for two to three seconds. The rear wiper is activated by rotating the knob at the top of the stalk to the right; a gentle pull is needed for the rear washer. Remember to adjust the wiper speed according to rainfall intensity to reduce noise and extend the blade's lifespan. In hot weather, park in the shade to avoid direct sunlight, and always spray water before wiping if there's dust or sand on the windshield. Mastering these details significantly enhances driving safety in rainy conditions.

The wiper is crucial for driving safety. When operating the ELYSION, pay attention to three points. The control lever has three downward speed levels—select the appropriate gear based on rainfall. Pulling it upward activates the cleaning function, spraying washer fluid to clean the windshield. For the rear window, rotate the end of the lever—turn right to start wiping. Regularly checking the rubber blade condition is important; replace it immediately if cracked. Clean the drainage holes periodically to prevent clogging. In winter, avoid scraping frost on the front windshield—remove ice first. Simple operation and reasonable positioning, combined with proper maintenance, ensure optimal performance. Don’t overlook minor issues, as they directly affect driving visibility.

Common Misoperations of Wipers During Car Maintenance. The right-hand control lever of the Elysian has clear gradations: the slow-speed icon is a water droplet, medium-speed is double water droplets, and high-speed is a curve with an arrow. To activate the washer function, pull the entire lever upwards, not just the tip. A slight mechanical sound when rotating to activate the rear wiper is normal. Check the rubber blades every six months and replace them if they harden or leave water streaks; use a fine needle to unclog blocked washer nozzles; switch to antifreeze windshield washer fluid in winter. Correct operation can prevent collateral damage to the motor—stop use and send for inspection if unusual noises occur. Simple maintenance extends the lifespan of the entire system.
