How to Use the Corolla Windshield Wiper?
2 Answers
On the back of the steering wheel, locate the windshield wiper control lever. The "O" position is the off position for the wiper. Push the lever up one position for a single wipe action. Push the lever down one position for the intermittent wiper mode, where the middle knob can adjust the interval time. Push the lever down two positions for the low-speed wiper mode, and push it down three positions for the high-speed wiper mode. Pull the lever back one position to activate the front wiper washer.
When using my Corolla, I found the wiper operation super simple. The wiper control stalk is on the right side of the steering wheel—pulling it downward switches to low-speed wiping, and pushing it down again shifts to high-speed, perfect for heavy rain. Pushing it upward activates intermittent mode, which automatically adjusts speed based on rainfall. Pushing it all the way up sprays washer fluid while the wipers activate to clean the windshield. I often use intermittent mode in light drizzles—it saves power and avoids excessive wiping. Remember, never wipe a dry windshield, as it can damage the wiper blades. Also, in winter, check for ice buildup before using the wipers to prevent motor damage. Make it a habit to inspect the wiper blades every quarter to ensure the rubber hasn’t cracked or aged, keeping your view clear and driving safer. Over years of driving, these small details have made rainy-day drives worry-free.
