How to Turn Off the Windshield Wiper?

[DeAbigail]

To turn off the windshield wiper: For knob-type adjustment, simply rotate the wiper adjustment knob to the OFF position to turn off the wiper; for lever-type adjustment, push the lever upward to activate the wiper, and release it to allow the lever to automatically return to its original position, turning off the wiper and stopping its operation immediately. The method to use the car's windshield wiper is to pull the switch handle downward or push it upward to select different wiper modes. Pulling the handle inward sprays windshield cleaning fluid. The windshield wiper is a device used to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Cars generally use electric wipers, which have the advantages of simple structure and easy control. The electric wiper consists of a motor, crank, transmission rod, wiper arm, and wiper blade.

Turning off the car's windshield wipers is quite simple. With over a decade of driving experience myself, I've encountered various situations. Typically, there's a control lever on the right or left side of the steering wheel—that's the wiper switch, with icons indicating the gear positions. To turn them off, gently rotate this lever until it reaches the bottom 'off' position, and the wipers will stop. If the rain has stopped but the wipers are still moving, the lever might not have fully returned to its original position; double-check if the icon is correctly aligned. Some drivers accidentally activate the wipers while driving, and prolonged use in dry weather can scratch the windshield, making cleaning troublesome. Regularly checking the wear on the wiper blades is also important, as aged blades won't clean effectively and can impair visibility. After turning them off, the car becomes quieter and saves some battery power, especially in older vehicles with weaker batteries. In short, developing the habit of turning off the wipers immediately after the rain stops is both simple and practical.
