The functions of the buttons on the Lavida's wipers are: 1. The 'high' button is for continuous high-speed wiper movement; 2. The 'low' button is for continuous low-speed wiper movement; 3. The 'three horizontal lines' button is for automatic intermittent wiper movement. When the wiper lever is set to the 'automatic intermittent movement' position, the wipers will adjust their movement frequency based on the set frequency and the vehicle's speed. Taking the Lavida 2021 1.5L Manual Fashion Edition as an example: it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with a length, width, and height of 4670mm, 1806mm, and 1474mm respectively, a wheelbase of 2688mm, equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission, and a top speed of 190 kilometers per hour.
Ah, I remember when I was first learning to drive with the Lavida, I was completely clueless about the wiper controls. The main rotary knob is on the right-hand stalk behind the steering wheel. Twist it to adjust wiper speed: one click sets it to intermittent mode for light rain, where the wipers swipe automatically; turn further to 'Low' for steady slow wipes during moderate rain, and 'High' for rapid swipes in heavy downpours. At the very tip of the stalk, there's a small button—press it to spray washer fluid while the wipers automatically swipe twice, clearing away dust instantly. Some models may have another button on the stalk for the rear wiper (if your car has a rear window wiper). Always focus on the road while operating these controls to avoid distractions. Over time, buttons may become slippery or nozzles clogged, affecting performance. My advice for beginners: practice locating these controls until it's second nature—safety comes first when driving in rain. Refill washer fluid promptly when empty to prevent dry pumping that could damage the motor. Regular maintenance like replacing wiper blades every season ensures longer, more reliable button operation.
I've been commuting in my Lavida for several years and know the wiper button like the back of my hand. The main rotary knob has three settings: intermittent, slow, and fast—switching as the rain changes, which is quite flexible. Press the washer button at the end of the stalk, and it sprays instantly, cleaning off dirt in a flash; if there's a rear wiper button, it can also clear the rear window. The key is adjusting the intermittent timing—some stalks have a small dial to tweak the interval. When driving in the rain, don’t let the button respond sluggishly—I’ve noticed the washer fluid runs out fast, so keep it topped up to avoid button failure. For maintenance, check the button’s smooth operation monthly; if it sticks, clean out dust and lubricate it, and replace wiper blades if they’re worn. Keep operations simple while driving—the button design is user-friendly, making it easy for beginners to adapt.
From the perspective of safe driving, the wiper button of the Lavida is crucial. The speed knob adjusts the wiper speed, ensuring clear visibility during heavy rain; the spray button removes dirt, but avoid pressing it when the windshield is dry. The button is conveniently located on the stalk for easy access, but avoid applying excessive force while driving. Don't forget to use the rear wiper button if equipped. Regularly test the button's responsiveness to prevent malfunctions that could lead to accidents; if the wiper fluid runs out and the button doesn't respond, replenish it promptly. Operating the buttons in the rain makes the journey safer, and mastering their use significantly reduces risks for novice drivers.
