How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper on a Volvo?
2 Answers
The method to turn off the rear wiper on a Volvo: First, press the vehicle's one-touch start button to start the engine; otherwise, the wiper cannot be turned off. Then, locate the wiper switch at the illustrated position on the right side of the steering wheel. Move the wiper lever to the illustrated position to turn it off. Press the button at the top of the wiper lever to deactivate it. Below is some information about wipers: 1. Most vehicle models have the wiper control located on the lever behind the right side of the steering wheel, typically in a lever-style design. The wiper lever is marked with various function symbols. Although the symbols and their positions may vary between brands, the functions are generally similar. 2. Some vehicle models allow adjustment of the automatic intermittent wiper operation frequency, enabling the wiper speed to vary based on vehicle speed—when the wiper lever is set to the "automatic intermittent" position, the wiper will adjust its frequency according to the set speed. There are two main types of frequency adjustment mechanisms: toggle-style and rotary knob-style.
Last time I drove my friend's Volvo, he specifically taught me how to turn off the rear wiper. Locate the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel—there's a rotatable outer ring (with a small car rear icon). Turn it counterclockwise until it reaches the OFF position, then stop; this completely deactivates the rear wiper. A handy detail if you forget to turn it off: it automatically activates when you shift into reverse but stops when you shift back to drive (D). In winter, remember to lift the wipers when parked to prevent motor damage from frozen blades.
