How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper on the Tayron?
2 Answers
To turn off the rear wiper on the Volkswagen Tayron, lift the wiper lever upward. Pressing it downward activates the wiper. Below are some maintenance tips for wipers: 1. When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield on sunny days: Always spray windshield washer fluid first; never operate the wiper dry. 2. If there are stubborn or hard contaminants on the glass: Remove them manually, as these can damage the wiper blade, leading to ineffective cleaning. In severe cases, the wiper motor may also be affected. 3. When lifting the wiper blade during car washing or routine cleaning: Hold the "backbone" of the wiper blade and gently return it to its position. Avoid snapping the blade back abruptly. 4. During winter use: First, use an ice scraper to remove ice chunks from the windshield to prevent overburdening the wiper. 5. If contaminants on the wiper are hard to remove or the wiper itself malfunctions: Seek professional repair as soon as possible.
It took me over half a year of driving the Tayron to finally figure out how to turn off the rear wiper, but it's actually quite simple. On the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, you see that rotatable knob? It specifically controls the rear wiper. Just rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise to the end until you hear a click, and when the rear wiper icon on the dashboard goes off, it means it's turned off. Remember, sometimes the rear wiper automatically turns on when you shift into reverse gear. In this case, it will turn off by itself when you drive forward, but if it doesn't, you'll need to manually twist it back. After using it more, I also discovered a little trick: you can press the middle of the knob to spray washer fluid, which is super convenient for cleaning the rear window.
