Instructions for using the wipers on the new Volkswagen Polo: Pushing the wiper lever forward or backward controls the front wipers, lifting it upward activates the front windshield washer, while pressing it downward controls the rear wiper. Pressing it down one notch turns on the rear wiper, and pressing it down further activates the rear window washer. If the rear wiper is continuously operating, lifting the lever upward once will turn it off. Here are some specific details about the wipers: 1. Wiper maintenance: Regular cleaning is required. Like other parts of the car, the wipers also need to be cleaned, and debris should be removed promptly. The front end of the wipers tends to accumulate debris, so regular inspection and cleaning are necessary. 2. Wiper speed settings: There are three speed settings: fast, medium, and slow. Observe the wiping speed of the wipers at each setting and check whether the wipers can maintain the same range of movement at different speeds.

I've been driving the Volkswagen New Polo, and the wiper switch is located on the right-hand steering column stalk. It's super easy to operate: pull the stalk once for intermittent wipe mode, and you can adjust the speed with the knob on the stalk head; push it up one notch for slow continuous wiping; push it two notches for fast wiping; pull the stalk down to spray water and wipe a few times, cleaning the windshield. On heavy rainy days, I use the fast mode, while for light rain, I adjust it to intermittent to save wear on the wiper blades. Remember not to let the wiper blades dry wipe, as it can damage both the glass and the wipers. Test the wipers before it rains to ensure they're working properly. When spraying water, make sure there's enough washer fluid. New cars might need original factory fluid to avoid clogging. Regularly check the wiper blades for cracks, and it's recommended to replace them every six months or so to extend their lifespan. Safety first—clear visibility is the most important thing for a more worry-free drive.

As a proud owner of the new Volkswagen Polo, I absolutely adore its wiper system. The design of the turn signal stalk is incredibly user-friendly – a simple upward push or downward pull effortlessly switches modes. A short pull activates the washer fluid spray, while a long pull adjusts the wiper speed. The intermittent mode can be automatically or manually adjusted based on rainfall intensity, becoming even smarter by adapting to vehicle speed changes. I also make it a habit to regularly clean the wiper blades to prevent dust and leaf buildup that could cause noise or uneven wiping. During rain or snow, the system proves highly practical, especially when combined with the rear window defogger for optimal visibility, making long drives worry-free. For maintenance, I use dedicated cleaning agents to wipe the blades monthly, keeping the rubber supple and extending its lifespan while preventing winter cracking. With these simple care routines, rainy-day driving remains hassle-free.

What Causes Abnormal Noises When a Car Turns?

Reasons for abnormal noises when a car turns: 1. Tire damage. If small stones are stuck in the tire or nails puncture it, abnormal noises will occur when turning. In this case, the tire should be inspected and repaired. 2. Incorrect toe-in value. If the tire's toe-in value is incorrect, the front wheels will not be parallel, causing friction and abnormal noises when turning. In this case, the toe-in value should be rechecked, and the vehicle should undergo a four-wheel alignment. 3. Steering gear damage. If the steering gear is damaged, internal parts may rub, or the steering system may malfunction, leading to abnormal noises when turning. In this case, the car should be taken to a repair shop or 4S store for professional inspection and repair. 4. Brake pad damage. If the brake pads are severely worn, abnormal noises may also occur when turning. In this case, the brake pads should be replaced.

How to Operate Automatic Transmission Gears?

Park (P): When parking, the gear is in this position. At this time, the wheels are mechanically locked to prevent rolling. The P gear should only be used when the vehicle is completely stopped. Reverse (R): Used for reversing. The safety button on the shift lever must be pressed to move the lever to the "R" position. Do not force the lever into the "R" position if the vehicle is not completely stopped. Neutral (N): Used for temporary stops (such as at a red light). To prevent the vehicle from rolling on a slope, always keep the brake pedal pressed when in N gear. Drive (D): In D gear, the transmission automatically shifts between 1st and overdrive (equivalent to 1st to 4th gears) based on speed and throttle conditions. This gear is used for normal road driving. Low (L): When going downhill or on long descents, shifting to this gear limits the car to the lowest gear automatically.
