Usage method of the rain-sensing wipers on the Volkswagen Tharu: Pull the lever backward to spray washer fluid on the front windshield. The higher you lift the wiper switch, the faster the frequency. LOW means low-speed gear, HIGH means high-speed gear, OFF is to turn off the switch. When not using the wipers, turn to this position. The 1X gear will automatically rebound after being pulled to this position, and then the wiper will work once. Precautions for wipers: 1. Keep them clean. If streaks appear on the windshield, the wiper blades may be dirty. You can sprinkle alcohol on a towel and wipe the surface of the wiper blades. It is recommended to regularly check and clean the wiper blades to keep them in a clean condition at all times; 2. Keep away from sunlight. When the vehicle is not used for a long time, try to park it in a shady place. The Volkswagen Tharu is a car launched by SAIC Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4453mm in length, 1841mm in width, 1632mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680mm.
When I first drove the Volkswagen Tharu, I didn't know how to operate the automatic wipers at first. Later, I figured it out: after starting the car, locate the position marked AUTO on the wiper stalk on the right side of the steering wheel, and gently push it to activate. It automatically detects the intensity of rainfall through a sensor at the top of the windshield. When it rains, the wipers will activate automatically based on the rain intensity—slow wipes for light rain and faster wipes for heavy rain. There's also a knob on the stalk to adjust sensitivity; turning it to a higher setting makes the wipers more responsive. Remember not to cover the sensor area, as window tint or dust can affect its sensitivity. At first, I was worried it might malfunction, but after using it a few times, I found it to be very accurate. Especially during heavy rain on the highway, it worked smoothly, allowing me to focus on driving without distraction, significantly improving driving safety. I recommend new owners try it out and get used to it—it's incredibly convenient once adapted.
