What does the 'pear' button in the car mean?
2 Answers
The 'pear' button in the car controls the rear wiper. Here is a detailed introduction about car wipers: Overview: The wiper is an important accessory installed on the windshield, designed to remove rain, snow, and dust that obstruct the view on the windshield glass. It plays a crucial role in driving safety. Wipers can generally be categorized into vacuum wipers, electric wipers, and wipers with electronic control units. Components: An electric windshield wiper typically consists of a wiper arm, wiper blade assembly, rubber blade, blade holder, blade support, wiper arm spindle, wiper base plate, motor, reduction gear, drive linkage, drive link hinge, wiper switch, and wiper switch knob.
I've been tinkering with cars for years, and when someone mentions 'pear' on an interior button, it's probably a mix-up with 'park'. That's the parking gear in automatics where you lock the transmission to prevent rolling—essential for safety stops. If not park, it might stand for something rear like defogger or assist systems in newer models, but 'pear' isn't common lingo in manuals I've flipped through. I always say check your vehicle's handbook since labels vary by maker; some use codes or icons. Misreading could lead to accidental shifts or features activating, so getting it right helps avoid mid-drive scares and keeps maintenance smooth, like ensuring fluids aren't stressed by wrong button presses. Plus, learning control symbols makes you smarter on the road and saves trips to the shop.
