How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper?

To turn off the rear wiper, you need to lift the wiper lever upward, which is the same method used to turn off the high beams. The rear wiper is the wiper on the rear windshield of the car. Rear wipers are commonly equipped on SUVs, MPVs, hatchbacks, and some liftback cars, and many vehicles come with a rear wiper. Maintenance tips for wipers: 1. When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days, always spray windshield washer fluid and avoid dry wiping; 2. If there are stubborn or hard contaminants on the glass, clean them manually; 3. When lifting the wiper blade during car washing or routine cleaning, hold the spine of the wiper blade and gently return it—do not snap it back abruptly; 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice from the windshield first to avoid putting extra strain on the wiper.

I usually drive different car models and find that turning off the rear wiper is quite common. There is usually a dedicated switch on the control lever on the left or right side of the steering wheel. Just find a knob or button and turn it to the OFF position to turn it off. Specific operation: turn the knob counterclockwise to the end or press the pause button once, most models are designed this way. If it cannot be turned off, it may be due to a stuck motor or wiring problem. Do not force it to avoid damaging the parts. Remember to try the operation when parking for safety. Turning off the rear wiper while driving in the rain can avoid distracting the view and save energy. Turning it off regularly during car washes can also protect the rubber wiper blades and extend their service life. If you forget to turn it off, the continuous operation of the rear wiper will increase power consumption and wear. It is recommended to check the settings every time you start the car. This experience comes from years of self-driving trips, and simple maintenance can save a lot of car repair costs.

The other day I was driving my friend's car in heavy rain, and the rear wiper was making a loud noise. I didn't know how to turn it off and was frantically feeling around the control stalk. Turns out there's a small rotary knob on the left stalk of the steering wheel - just push it gently upwards to stop it, super simple! Most car models have similar designs: turn it to the lowest point to turn it off. Remember to turn it off before car washes, as dry wiping can damage the rubber blades and replacements are expensive. Here's a life hack: always keep a windshield wiper fluid spray in the car to occasionally spray the rear window for better visibility. This isn't a common issue, but knowing the trick can solve it instantly without panic. Accumulating more driving tips never hurts - it makes rainy days more reassuring and safer, right?

I believe novice drivers should prioritize safety when turning off the rear wiper. Steps: Locate the wiper knob on the control stalk, turn it to the OFF position (usually near the steering wheel) – simple and straightforward. Turning it off can reduce rainwater blurring your vision and prevent accidents. If you can't turn it off while driving, pull over immediately to address the issue without delay. Regularly check the wiper rubber for aging and replace it promptly to prevent jamming upon activation. Safety first – don't overlook small details.

Turning off the rear wiper is key to saving money: Easily deactivate it by twisting the control lever to the starting position or pressing the button. Leaving it on unnecessarily accelerates wiper blade wear and aging, leading to costly replacements. Develop a habit of checking it during car washes and parking to prolong component lifespan. This simple action prevents major issues and avoids repair hassles—an economical operation.
