Tiguan L rear wiper can be turned off at the end of the wiper switch, which controls the operation of the rear wiper. You can observe the rear wiper switch, which has markings, and push it forward to turn it off. Here is some information about wipers: 1. Wipers, also known as windshield wipers, are devices used to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and increasing driving safety. 2. Due to legal requirements, almost all vehicles are equipped with wipers. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs also have wipers. In addition to cars, other means of transportation such as trains and trams are also equipped with wipers. Some engineering machinery, such as cranes, also have wipers.

I've been driving the Volkswagen Tiguan L for over two years and frequently use the rear wiper. On the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, there's a dedicated rear window rotary knob near the car end. Simply turn it counterclockwise until it reaches the position marked 'OFF' or a similar symbol. While driving, the rear wiper usually activates automatically when reversing. If you manually turn it on, such as rotating the knob to the defogging mode, you'll need to manually turn it back to 'OFF' to deactivate it. The first time operating it might be a bit confusing—I prefer adjusting it when parked to avoid distracted driving. Turning off the rear wiper reduces unnecessary power consumption and extends the wiper motor's lifespan, especially in dry weather when frequent activation isn't needed. Regularly cleaning the rear window prevents dust from jamming the wiper blade and ensures clearer visibility, enhancing driving safety. Remember to check the wiper rubber strip for aging or cracks during each car wash and replace it promptly to avoid poor wiping performance and potential accidents.

Should the Transmission Fluid of BMW Cars Be Replaced?

Here are the reasons why transmission fluid should be replaced and the precautions for replacement: Reasons for Replacement: All transmissions (including many that claim to be maintenance-free) will experience a certain degree of degradation after several years of use, mainly due to the deterioration of the transmission fluid (including contamination or emulsification caused by other issues). Therefore, replacing the fluid is definitely more beneficial than harmful. Precautions for Transmission Fluid Replacement: 1. For automatic transmissions, the fluid generally needs to be replaced every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. 2. If the car is frequently driven at high speeds, it is recommended to replace the transmission fluid approximately every 40,000 kilometers. 3. For manual transmissions, the fluid can generally be replaced later, as the requirements for transmission fluid are relatively lower, and replacement can be done at around 100,000 kilometers. 4. Whenever possible, use the original manufacturer's transmission fluid for replacement. 5. Pay attention to the amount of fluid added during replacement.

How to Turn on the Heater in a Chevrolet Cruze?

What to Do When Car Tires Develop Cracks?

Depending on the specific condition of the tire cracks and wear, the following corresponding measures can be taken: 1. If the tire is brand new but has minor surface cracks, it can still be used. 2. If the tire has been used for a long time and has numerous cracks, it is necessary to visit a 4S store to seek professional help for replacement to avoid tire blowouts. 3. If upon observation in the direction of travel, there is significant wear on the outer edge of the tire, it indicates that the tire is frequently underinflated, meaning the pressure is insufficient, and it needs to be inflated according to highway standards.

Why Are the Production Dates of Car Glass Different?

During vehicle assembly, it is common to encounter situations where the production dates of glass components are inconsistent. An automobile assembly plant is essentially a production facility where parts are stocked in advance, making it impossible to ensure immediate assembly every time, thus making synchronization in timing difficult. Additionally, different batches of glass naturally have different production dates. Methods to check if a car's glass has been replaced include: 1. Check the manufacturer: By examining the manufacturer's code on the glass, you can identify which company produced the glass. 2. Check the glass production date: If there is a significant time difference in the production dates of the glass pieces on a car, it warrants attention as it could indicate refurbishment or subsequent replacement of the glass. 3. Check the glass label: If the car glass has been replaced, the new glass label may differ significantly from the original factory label.
