How to Turn On and Off the Rear Wiper?
2 Answers
The method to operate the wiper switch is as follows: To activate the automatic wiper, push the right-hand stalk forward once, which will position it at the automatic wiper setting. The car will then display a message indicating 'Automatic wiper is on.' To turn off the automatic wiper, pull the wiper stalk backward and then return it to its original position. Below is some relevant information about wipers: 1. Activation Position: The switch for most wipers is located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, known as the stalk-type wiper. However, a few vehicles have this switch on the left-hand stalk. 2. Usage Method: Pulling the wiper control stalk toward the driver will activate the windshield washer. If you frequently use the wipers, it is important to check the windshield washer fluid level. If the fluid level is too low, it should be replenished promptly to prevent the wipers from operating dry.
After driving for so many years, I'm quite familiar with operating the rear wiper. Generally, on the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, there's a small knob or button at the end that specifically controls the rear wiper. To turn it on, you gently twist the knob or press the button, and the wiper activates, starting to wipe away rain or dirt from the rear window. To turn it off, twist the knob back to its original position or press the button again, and it stops. Driving in the rain with the rear wiper on helps clear your rear view, reducing the risk of rear-end collisions. To check the wiper's functionality, you can try spraying some cleaning fluid for assistance. If the wiper doesn't move, it might be due to a blown fuse or a stuck wiper arm—it's best to have it checked at a repair shop without delay. For regular maintenance, remember to replace the wiper blades periodically, about once a year, to prevent scratching the glass and compromising safety.
