In the wiper control lever, the "OFF" position is for turning off the vehicle's wipers. Pushing the lever up to the "MIST" position activates a single wipe. The "INT" position is for intermittent wiping, and the interval time can be adjusted. The "LO" position is for low-speed wiping. Below is some related information about the Changan CS75 Plus: 1.

I've been driving the Changan CS75 Plus for almost half a year, and the wiper operation is super simple and easy to get the hang of. The control lever on the right side of the steering wheel is what you turn to operate the wipers: pulling it down once activates a single wipe, pushing it up one notch sets it to low speed mode for light rain, and pushing it all the way up to the top position is for high speed during heavy rain. The intermittent mode is in the middle position, automatically wiping at intervals when the rain is light. Pressing the button at the front of the lever activates the washer function, which is handy for cleaning off dust or bugs. When I first started driving, I wasn't very familiar with it and would fumble around in the rain, but after practicing a few times, it became smooth. By the way, it's important to regularly clean the wiper blades; dirty blades won't clean the windshield properly and can obstruct your view. I wipe the rubber blades with a damp cloth every two weeks to keep them flexible and the washer working well. Safety comes first when driving in the rain—activate the wipers promptly without hesitation and slow down if visibility worsens. If the wipers start making squeaking noises, it might be time to replace them. Generally, wiper blades should be replaced every six months, and they're not expensive—you can easily DIY it without going to the dealership.
With over a decade of driving experience, I know that using wipers properly can save a lot of trouble. The stalk on the right side of the steering column controls the wipers: twist it to adjust the speed. Pushing it down one notch sets the slow speed, ideal for moderate rain; pushing it all the way up activates the fast speed, perfect for heavy rain. The intermittent mode is in the middle, suitable for light rain with automatic wiping intervals. Pressing the button on the stalk sprays water to clean the windshield. Don’t fumble with the controls in the rain—practice and familiarize yourself with their positions while parked. A quick reminder: worn wiper blades tend to leave streaks and fail to clear the windshield properly, so replace them promptly. It’s recommended to check for cracks or hardening every six months. Adjust your driving speed according to the wiper settings in rainy conditions—increase the frequency if visibility is poor. Regularly clean the wiper blades with water to prevent dust buildup.
