Should Windshield Wipers Be Lifted Up in Snow?
1 Answers
It is advisable to lift the windshield wipers in snowy weather, as this prevents them from being frozen by snow and frost. Reasons for lifting the wipers: Rubber has a specific temperature range for optimal use. If the wipers are consistently frozen by snow and frost (low-temperature conditions), it can reduce their lifespan and affect their wiping performance. Therefore, lifting the wipers during snowy conditions is highly recommended. Steps to lift the wipers: First, turn off the car's engine, and within 10 seconds, activate the windshield washer switch by pulling the lever (controlling the wipers) toward the driver's direction. Once the washer switch is pressed, the wipers will move to the front of the windshield, allowing you to lift them up directly.
