The method to use the rear wiper on the Envision is: rotate the second knob on the wiper switch to 'off' to turn off the rear wiper. The Envision is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4694mm in length, 1839mm in width, 1686mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750mm. The Envision is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 124 kW at 5600 rpm and a maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1700 to 4400 rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson struts and a rear suspension employing a multi-link independent setup.

Operating the rear wiper on the Enclave is actually quite simple, and I'm used to handling these controls in my daily driving. It's usually located on the right-hand control stalk behind the steering wheel. This stalk has multiple adjustment settings: pushing it forward activates the rear wiper - a single push gives one wipe, while holding it down enables continuous wiping. Pulling it backward engages both the washer fluid and wiper simultaneously, which is handy for cleaning dust off the rear window. Make sure the vehicle is running when operating it, as the wiper will automatically stop when the control stalk returns to position. I remember needing to adjust the settings when I first used it - it's good to check the manual to familiarize yourself with the positions. The rear wiper is particularly important during rainy or foggy conditions when reversing, as poor visibility through dirty rear windows can easily lead to accidents. I recommend checking the wiper blades regularly for wear and tear - I replace mine every six months to prevent scratches. If the stalk gets stuck or malfunctions, it might indicate a switch failure or fuse issue - don't force it and get it checked at a repair shop immediately. Safety comes first, and you'll get the hang of it with some practice.

When I first bought the Enclave, I was curious about how to use the rear wiper. It took me a while to figure it out. On the lever to the right of the steering wheel, push it forward once to wipe the rear window, and push it deeper for continuous wiping. Pull it backward to spray water and wash—remember to pull it firmly for the water to come out. Don’t operate it too hastily, especially in the rain; wiping too frequently might cause it to jam or make noise. I find this feature particularly useful when driving in the suburbs—mud splashes can be cleaned with just a quick pull. Don’t forget to replace the wiper blades during regular maintenance; when they age, they won’t wipe cleanly and could affect safety. If the lever occasionally responds sluggishly, it might be due to loose wiring—check the battery switch yourself first or have it adjusted at the 4S shop. In short, practice makes perfect, so don’t be afraid to make mistakes.

The rear wiper is operated via a push-pull system on the turn signal lever. Simply push forward to activate wiping, with the frequency controlled by the pushing force; pull backward to trigger the washer pump for glass cleaning. Always monitor the rear window's water level during use to prevent pump dry-running and component damage. I often see users bending the lever due to incorrect operation—gentle pushes and pulls are sufficient. Regular cleaning of the wiper rubber strips can extend their lifespan and reduce noise. If cleaning performance declines, simply adjust the angle or replace the blade.

Operating the rear wiper is very convenient in rainy weather. Pushing the lever forward activates the wiper, and pulling it once triggers the wash function—quite user-friendly design. I often need to clean the rear window when taking my child out, and the one-pull water spray feature is a great help. Be careful not to use it too frequently in dusty conditions, as the spray nozzle can easily clog. If the wiper doesn't move, check if the nozzle is blocked or if the lever's spring is loose. During regular maintenance, take a moment to wipe the glass groove, as accumulated dirt can affect the wiping effect. Maintenance is simple—just replace the rubber blade every few months.
