How to Turn On the Automatic Wipers in a Golf?
2 Answers
To activate the automatic wipers in a Golf, first locate the rain-sensing wiper control switch (located on the right-hand stalk near the steering wheel). By rotating the knob, you can adjust the sensitivity of the rain-sensing wipers. The right-hand stalk has three adjustable positions: 0 (off), auto (automatic wipers), and continuous wiping mode. To start the wipers, push the stalk forward to enable the automatic wiper function, where the wipers will operate based on detected rainfall intensity. Additional wiper information: 1. Wipers are tools installed on a vehicle's windshield to clear rainwater and debris for improved visibility. 2. There are two main types: traditional intermittent wipers (most common, with 3-4 adjustable speed settings controlled by the driver) and rain-sensing wipers (typically found in mid-to-high-end models).
The automatic wipers on my Golf are very convenient for me. There's an AUTO position on the right-hand control stalk—just a gentle push activates it. A sensor at the top of the windshield detects raindrop size and automatically adjusts the wiper speed, so I don't have to worry about it when it rains. I use this feature often while driving—it's hassle-free and enhances safety. Just remember not to block the sensor area, as clean glass ensures optimal performance. When you first get the car, it's a good idea to check the manual to confirm adjustment methods for your specific model—some variants even allow sensitivity tweaks via a rotary knob. Regular maintenance of the wiper blades is also crucial to prevent aging from affecting performance. This feature is a truly practical helper, making rainy-day driving much more reassuring.
