How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper on a Volkswagen Polo?
2 Answers
The method to turn off the rear wiper on a Volkswagen Polo is: 1. Start the vehicle's engine with the key to power on the vehicle; 2. Push the wiper control lever outward twice to keep it in the off position. The Volkswagen Polo is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with body dimensions of: length 4053mm, width 1740mm, height 1449mm, and a wheelbase of 2564mm. The Volkswagen Polo is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 83 kW and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension using a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
When driving my own Volkswagen Polo, I found it quite simple to turn off the rear wiper without needing any complicated tools. First, locate the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, the one used for turning and the wipers. At the end of the stalk, there's a small rotatable ring. Gently twist it and rotate it to the position marked OFF—just a slight turn—and the wiper will automatically stop. If you're unsure about the position, check the icon indicators on the control stalk. After operating, it's best to check the rear window to confirm the wiper has stopped, so you don't end up doing it for nothing. In daily driving, turning off the wiper is important, especially when it's not raining, as leaving it on can wear out the rubber blades and may even distract you. Make it a habit to check before starting the car—it saves money and ensures safety. The design of the Volkswagen Polo is quite user-friendly and easy to get used to.
