How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper on a Car?

[DelSimon]

To turn off the rear wiper on a car, follow these steps: 1. Turn the vehicle's ignition key to power on the car; 2. Locate the wiper control lever beneath the steering wheel; 3. Push the lever outward twice to set it to the 'off' position. The function of the wiper is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield, enhancing driving safety. Steps to replace the wiper: 1. Lift the metal wiper arm away from the front windshield; 2. Press the plastic tab at the contact point between the rubber wiper blade and the metal arm to remove the old wiper blade; 3. Insert the new wiper blade.

Turning off the rear wiper is actually quite simple. It's usually operated via the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. After driving for over ten years, I habitually turn that stalk to the "OFF" position. Some vehicles have button controls, which can be found near the center console or door handles. During rainy days, turn it on when needed and switch it off when the rain stops to prevent wiper blade wear and save some battery power. Regularly check if the wiper rubber is worn out – if there's unusual noise or skipping, it's time to replace them. For safety, it's best to operate it when parked to avoid driving distractions.
