Turn the wiper up or down?
1 Answers
Turning the wiper up turns it on. Pulling the wiper lever backward activates the rear wiper, while the middle OFF position turns the wiper off. Lifting the wiper lever upward activates the front wiper's washer function, spraying windshield fluid for cleaning. Most wiper switches are located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, known as the stalk-type wiper. The wiper is a blade structure installed in front of the windshield, consisting of a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. Its main function is to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the driver's view, improving visibility and enhancing driving safety. Rear windows of hatchbacks and SUVs are also equipped with wipers.
