How to Turn On and Off the Rear Wiper of a Volkswagen?
2 Answers
Volkswagen rear window wiper operation and deactivation methods are as follows: 1. Push the control lever towards the front of the car to activate the rear wiper; if pushed all the way and held, the rear wiper will spray water. 2. Return the wiper lever to its original position to deactivate the rear wiper. All cars are equipped with wipers, and rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs also have wipers. Wipers, also known as windshield wipers, are devices used to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety.
Operating the rear wiper in a Volkswagen is quite straightforward. Having driven one for many years, I can tell you the key is the stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. There’s usually a ring or button on it—just twist it to the right or upwards to activate the rear wiper, and twist it back the opposite way to turn it off. Some models even automatically swipe the rear window when reversing, which is quite handy. I often use it while driving in the rain to maintain clear visibility through the rear window—it’s essential. If it stops working, first check if it’s disabled in the settings or if the window is too dirty and blocking it. Over time, the rear wiper blade will wear out, so I recommend replacing it once a year to avoid poor wiping performance, which could compromise safety. Overall, it’s very intuitive—just experiment a bit, and you’ll get the hang of it.
