What does the knob on the wiper switch mean?
1 Answers
The knob on the wiper switch is generally used when the wiper switch is turned to the first gear. The wiper switch is usually located at the lower right of the steering wheel, with 'off' indicating that the wiper is in the closed state. Lifting it upwards once will make the wiper automatically return to its position, and the wiper will work once automatically. Pushing it down once is for intermittent operation, twice for low-speed continuous wiping, and three times for high-speed operation. Pushing it all the way up will return it to the off state. If none of these three gears provide the desired intermittent speed, you can adjust the desired intermittent speed by rotating the middle knob. The knob on the far side is the switch for the rear wiper. Turning it once is for low-speed operation, and twice is for high-speed. Lifting the entire wiper lever upwards sprays water on the front windshield, while pressing it down sprays water on the rear windshield. The toggle switch on the front of the wiper allows for fine-tuning the speed on the existing settings, which can be adjusted as needed. When operating the wiper washer, please note the following precautions: Do not use the washer when the washer reservoir is empty to avoid burning out the washer motor. Do not use the washer continuously for a long time. One or two seconds per spray is sufficient to avoid burning out the washer motor. In northern regions, before winter arrives, empty the washer reservoir and refill it with antifreeze washer fluid. In winter, do not operate the wiper or washer when the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield to avoid burning out the wiper motor. Do not operate the wiper on a dry windshield (when it's not raining). If the windshield is dirty, use the washer to lubricate it first before wiping.
