How to Use the Rear Wiper?
2 Answers
The car's wiper lever has this switch, just toggle it to change between different gears. By default, the knob is in the "O" position at the bottom. This is the gear to turn off the rear wiper. Adjust the knob to the middle position to turn on the rear wiper.
When driving my car, I often need to use the rear wiper, especially when reversing or waiting at a red light in the rain—having a clear view of the rear is super important. Operating it is quite simple: usually, there's a rear wiper switch on the control lever to the right of the steering wheel. Push it forward once to activate, and it will automatically swipe the glass a few times. If you want to spray water to clean the rear window, push it all the way and hold for a second or two—you’ll hear the water sound when it works. When I first started learning to drive, I didn’t quite understand and often fumbled with the controls, but I later checked the user manual to figure it out. It’s important not to use the wiper on a dry windshield, as it can damage the rubber blade and create a lot of noise. During regular maintenance, check the wiper’s condition—if it squeaks or doesn’t wipe cleanly, replace the rubber blade as soon as possible to avoid sudden failure affecting safe driving. Before each drive, take a quick glance at the rear window for dust and use the wiper to clear it, preventing water buildup from obstructing visibility. Remember, settings may vary slightly between car models, but the overall operation is generally similar.
