How to turn off the rear wiper of Volkswagen Polo?
3 Answers
There is a knob on the rear wiper of the Volkswagen Polo that controls the rear wiper. Twist the head of the control button and gently lift it upwards. Here are some related precautions: 1. To extend the service life of the wiper, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. 2. A good wiper must have the characteristics of heat resistance, cold resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, close fit with the windshield, reduce the burden on the motor, low noise, strong water repellency, soft texture and not scratch the windshield. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a high-quality wiper. 3. Regularly clean the rubber blade of the wiper to avoid too much dirt residue that may corrode the wiper.
The rear wiper switch for the Volkswagen Polo is located on the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. Check the side of the stalk for a small rotary knob with a rear window icon, usually labeled 'REAR' or with a fan-shaped pattern. Rotate this knob to the 'OFF' position to stop it. If it's a button-style switch, look for an independent rectangular button with a wiper symbol at the top of the stalk, and press it until the light turns off. Some models have an automatic rear wiper activation when shifting to reverse gear (R), which can be disabled in the vehicle settings on the central control screen. If you accidentally activate the switch while driving in the rain, don't panic—just rotate the knob back or press the button again to stop it.
When repairing cars, we often encounter owners who don't know how to turn off the rear wiper. There are two types of controls for the Polo: in base models, rotate the ring switch in the middle of the wiper stalk to the vertical downward position; in higher-end models, there's a separate button at the top of the stalk. If it still moves after being turned off, it's likely due to stuck switch contacts. Actually, activating it for a few seconds when the rear window is dirty is quite practical, but don't confuse its operation with the front wiper. Note: when replacing wiper blades, lift the arm into maintenance mode first, otherwise forcing it might damage the motor gears.
