What does 'pull' mean on the windshield wiper?

The 'pull' function on the windshield wiper means pulling it upward to automatically spray water and clean the front windshield. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Introduction: The wiper, also known as the windshield wiper, is a device used to remove raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. 2. Operating Principle: The power source of the wiper comes from an electric motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. The quality requirements for the wiper motor are quite high. It uses a DC permanent magnet motor, and the wiper motor installed on the front windshield is generally integrated with the worm gear mechanical part. The function of the worm gear mechanism is to reduce speed and increase torque. Its output shaft drives a four-bar linkage mechanism, which converts continuous rotational motion into left-right swinging motion.

In many vehicles, the 'pull' operation on the windshield wiper stalk refers to pulling the lever backward to activate the rear window wiper or washer function. For example, in SUVs or hatchback models, a single pull may initiate the rear glass wiping action, helping to clear rain and dirt, thereby improving rear visibility. This design is intended to enhance driving safety in rainy conditions. The specific operation varies by vehicle, with different brands exhibiting different behaviors: some activate the rear wiper directly upon pulling, while others combine it with washer fluid for cleaning. It is recommended that owners refer to their vehicle's user manual to confirm the functional details. Additionally, it is important to regularly check if the wiper blades are worn or cracked, as aged components can affect cleaning performance. I have seen many drivers overlook this function, leading to blurred rear visibility in emergencies and increasing the risk of accidents. It is advisable to replace wiper blades annually and keep the washer fluid reservoir full for unexpected needs, ensuring that every 'pull' operation is effective.

Bro, regarding the 'pull' function of the wiper, it actually means pulling the control lever to operate the rear window wiper or washer. When driving my buddy's car, pulling it automatically sweeps the rear glass - super convenient. Performance varies by model: some cars only activate the rear wiper when pulled, while others combine it with washer fluid. During rainy days when visibility is poor, a quick pull can clean the rear window instantly, preventing rear-end collisions. I suggest trying this operation in your own car - don't worry about mistakes, it usually won't damage components. Also remember to check your washer fluid level; you can even top it up with tap water if empty. Using the rear wiper during light rain or dusty roads is very practical for maintaining clear visibility. Make it a habit to regularly clean the washer nozzles to prevent clogging.

A seasoned driver tells you that the 'wiper pull' operation usually activates the rear wiper by pulling the lever backward. Having driven various cars, I know the pull function is designed to enhance driving safety in rainy conditions, especially during heavy rain when a pull clears the rear windshield. Different car models may behave differently—for example, pulling in a sedan might trigger the washer fluid, while an SUV may directly start the rear wiper. I recommend new drivers check the manual first to avoid confusion. With decades of driving experience, I always emphasize safety first: the pull function is simple and easy to use, but never abuse it to avoid distractions. Regular maintenance of the wiper system ensures stable performance. If the wiper blades are worn or the fluid is insufficient, the pull function may fail, posing a significant driving hazard.
