How to turn off the rear wiper of the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
The switch for the rear wiper of the Tiguan L is located behind the steering wheel, which is the same as the front wiper switch. The front wiper works by moving up and down, while the rear wiper works by pushing forward and backward. There is an 'off' position on the switch, and placing it in this 'off' position will turn it off.
Having driven the Touareg L for several years, I find the rear wiper can be quite annoying when left on, especially on sunny days when it leaves streaks. The method to turn it off is actually very simple: while seated in the driver's seat, look at the long lever on the right side of the steering wheel, gently turn the knob towards your body to the OFF position. If you accidentally turn it the wrong way, you might switch modes, so take a moment to check the icons on the lever to avoid mistakes. Regular maintenance is also important; I recommend cleaning the rear window and wiper blades during car washes to reduce wear from dry wiping. Leaving the rear wiper on wastes fuel and battery power, and turning it off on the highway provides clearer visibility and enhances safety. Developing a habit of checking it when parking can help extend your vehicle's lifespan.
