How to use the automatic wiper on Tiggo 8 Plus?

[DeRyan]

Enter the driver's cabin and locate the wiper control lever on the steering wheel. Push the wiper control lever to the "MIST" position for a single wipe. Normally set the gear here. The "INT" position is the intermittent mode, where the interval time is adjustable. Pull the wiper lever backward to activate the front wiper spray.

When I first started driving the Tiggo 8 Plus, I was also curious about how to operate the automatic wipers. It's actually quite simple. After getting in the car, locate the control lever on the right side of the steering wheel. Turn it to the position marked AUTO or with a raindrop icon. Once set, the wipers will automatically activate when they sense rain. If the rain is light and you want to adjust the sensitivity, there's a small knob nearby that you can turn left or right—test it a few times to get the hang of it. This feature is especially handy when driving on highways in the rain, as you don't have to manually turn the wipers on and off. However, for new owners, I recommend checking the manual first to avoid setting the wrong mode. Additionally, the sensor is located in the upper middle part of the windshield—make sure not to cover it with tinting film. Clean it occasionally during car washes to prevent false triggers. Wiper blades can wear out and crack over time, so replacing them every year or two ensures optimal performance and prevents accidents due to poor visibility in the rain. Also, avoid letting the wipers freeze when parked, and in winter, add some antifreeze washer fluid to protect the motor.

I've been using the automatic wipers on my Tiggo 8 Plus for a while now, and the operation is foolproof. After getting in the car, don't rush to drive off—check for the AUTO option on the control stalk. Turn it to that position, and the sensor takes over. The first time I used it on a rainy day, it started wiping automatically, quite accurately. But remember to adjust the sensitivity knob; if it keeps activating unnecessarily during drizzles, turn it down to save power and avoid annoyance. Driving on highways in the rain is much more relaxing, with clearer visibility and improved safety. The sensor is located above the windshield, so avoid letting bird droppings or dust accumulate there, as it can affect sensitivity. If you encounter issues like the wipers not starting, it might be due to a dirty sensor or a blown fuse—try a simple clean first, and if that doesn’t work, visit a repair shop. Wiper blades are recommended to be replaced annually, especially in rainy southern regions where they age faster. In summer, avoid prolonged exposure of the windshield to direct sunlight, as thermal expansion and contraction can damage components. Regularly check the reservoir and top up with an appropriate amount of washer fluid to prevent dry wiping and extend lifespan.

My Tiggo 8 Plus's automatic wipers are quite convenient. Just turn the control stalk to the AUTO position, and the wipers will operate automatically based on rainfall. Keep the sensor unobstructed and clean it regularly to improve accuracy. Don't wait for squeaking sounds to replace the wiper blades - inspect them every six months to avoid failure at critical moments. Maintain a safe following distance in rainy conditions, as this feature helps reduce driver distraction.
