How to Use the Santana Windshield Wipers?
2 Answers
The Santana wiper switch is located on the lever behind the right side of the steering wheel. Pushing it upward activates the wipers for one sweep, while pushing it downward offers three speed settings: slow, medium, and fast. Pulling the lever toward the driver first sprays washer fluid and then activates a single wipe. When the wiper lever is set to the automatic intermittent mode, the wipers adjust their sweeping frequency based on the vehicle speed. The Santana has body dimensions of 4475mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1469mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2603mm. In terms of power, the 2019 Santana is equipped with an EA211 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The National VI version of the engine delivers a maximum power of 82 kW and a maximum torque of 145 Nm. The transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
Using the wipers on a Santana is quite simple. When I first started driving, I also figured it out myself. The wiper control lever is located on the right side of the steering wheel. Push it up for low-speed wiping, push it further for high-speed, and a light press activates the washer to clean the windshield. Normally, low-speed is enough for rain, while intermittent mode is suitable for drizzles. Remember not to use too much washer fluid to avoid waste. Wiper blades tend to wear out, so I check the rubber strips every six months and replace them if they don’t wipe cleanly, ensuring clear visibility and safe driving in the rain. It’s also good to keep a cloth in the car to wipe off oil stains on the windshield. Developing good habits can save a lot of hassle.
