How to Turn on Car Wipers?
2 Answers
Here is how to use car wipers: 1. Detailed explanation of up and down operation methods: Pushing the wiper lever upwards will make it bounce back automatically, and the wiper will work once. Pushing it downwards has three different speed settings. 2. Detailed explanation of front and back operation: Pulling the wiper lever towards the driver will make the front wipers spray water and wipe once. 3. Operation method for the rear wiper: When the rear windshield is obstructed. The rear wiper has three speed settings: slow, medium, and fast. When the rear windshield is obstructed, you will lose part of your rear visibility while driving or reversing, significantly reducing driving safety. Therefore, the rear wiper is equally important. Here is additional information: 1. Different types of vehicles may have slightly different wiper operation methods. It is important to familiarize yourself with and master the wiper operation of your specific vehicle beforehand. 2. Regardless of the vehicle's grade, the wipers will have different speed settings for the oscillation frequency. Each speed setting has its purpose, and we can choose the appropriate wiper speed based on actual conditions and personal preference.
When I first started driving, I also wondered how to use the wipers. Actually, the operation is quite similar across different car models. The lever on the right side of the steering wheel is the control stalk. A light push downward activates a single wipe, which is perfect for occasional raindrops. Pushing it up to the first position sets it to intermittent mode, where the wipers move every few seconds—ideal for drizzles. Pushing it further up engages low-speed continuous wiping, just right for moderate rain. Pushing it all the way to the top activates high-speed wiping, which is a lifesaver during heavy rain when visibility is poor. Some cars even have a knob to adjust the intermittent frequency, like my old Toyota. Remember, never force the wipers to operate when they're frozen in winter. Always spray windshield fluid first to soften the ice, or the rubber blades may tear. And don’t skimp on replacement wiper blades—cheap ones start squeaking after just a couple of months.
