How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper of Audi Q3?
2 Answers
Audi Q3 rear wiper can be turned off as follows: The wiper switch is located below the right side of the steering wheel. Simply toggle it according to the instructions to turn off the wiper. OFF means off, low means low speed, and high means high speed. You can adjust the wiper speed according to the intensity of the rain. Below is an introduction to the wiper: 1. The wiper assembly includes a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage structure, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. When the wiper switch is pressed, the motor starts, and the motor's speed drives the swing arm through the speed reduction and torque increase of the worm gear. The swing arm drives the four-bar linkage, which in turn drives the shaft installed on the front bulkhead to swing left and right. Finally, the shaft drives the wiper blade to sweep the windshield. 2. The power source of the wiper comes from the motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. The wiper motor adopts a 3-brush structure for easy speed change. The intermittent time is controlled by the intermittent relay, utilizing the motor's return switch contacts and the relay's resistor-capacitor charge-discharge function to make the wiper sweep at a certain interval. 3. Generally, there is a wiper control knob on the car's combination switch handle, with three positions: low speed, high speed, and intermittent.
I've driven an Audi Q3 for several years, and turning off the rear wiper is quite simple. The wiper control stalk is on the right side of the steering wheel, with a small knob at its tip dedicated to the rear wiper function. Just rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise to the position marked with an 'X' or 'OFF,' and the wiper stops. Sometimes, the wiper may briefly test itself when starting the car, but you can ignore it—just turn it off as usual. I've noticed that beginners often overlook this, but it's good to form the habit: check if it's off before parking to save wiper fluid or battery power, especially when the rear window is rarely used after the rainy season. Also, remember to clean the wiper blades and reservoir regularly to prevent jamming and noise, which helps the motor last longer. Audi's design is quite intuitive—get familiar with it after a few tries, and once turned off, you can drive with peace of mind and focus better. Safety comes first—keeping the rear wiper on too long can obstruct your view, so turning it off promptly reduces distractions. In short, just twist the knob, and it's done.
