How to Turn Off the Car's Windshield Wipers?
2 Answers
For knob-type adjustment, rotate the wiper adjustment knob to the OFF position; for lever-type, push the lever upward to start the wipers, and release it to automatically return the lever to its original position, turning off the wipers and stopping their operation immediately. Below is some related information about vehicle wipers: 1. Introduction: The car's wipers have several working modes. INT (Automatic Intermittent Operation): Pull the lever down one notch, and the wipers will start working automatically in an intermittent mode. LO (Continuous Operation): Pull the lever down another notch, and the wipers will operate at a continuous rate. HI (Continuous High-Speed Operation): Pull the lever all the way down, and the wipers will work at high speed. 2. Notes: INT (Automatic Intermittent Operation) is suitable for light rain or snow; LO (Continuous Operation) is suitable for heavier rain or snow; HI (Continuous High-Speed Operation) is suitable for heavy rain conditions.
I remember when I first started driving, figuring out how to turn off the wipers took some trial and error. In most cars, the wiper controls are on the stalk to the right of the steering wheel, usually with a rotary knob. You'll see several positions marked on it, such as OFF, INT, LOW, and HIGH, representing off, intermittent, low speed, and high speed. To turn off the wipers, simply rotate the knob to the OFF position. If you're driving with the wipers on and the weather clears up or the rain lightens, a gentle twist of the stalk will stop them. After driving for several years, I've noticed slight variations between cars—some older models might use a button to turn them off, but the principle is similar. If you're unsure, try operating the controls when parked to avoid fumbling while driving in the rain, since maintaining clear visibility is crucial. It's also a good idea to regularly check the wiper blades for wear to prevent sudden failure.
