Where is the rear windshield wiper switch located?
2 Answers
The rear windshield wiper switch is located on the control levers on either side of the steering wheel. The function of the wiper is to brush away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and increasing driving safety. The maintenance methods for the wiper are: 1. When using the wiper to remove dust from the windshield surface on sunny days, spray glass cleaner and avoid dry wiping; 2. Manually clean other stubborn or hard dirt on the glass; 3. When lifting the wiper blade, hold it by the spine and gently place it back; 4. In winter, use an ice scraper to remove ice chips from the windshield surface before using the wiper; 5. Repair any wiper malfunctions as soon as possible.
I've been driving for over a decade and helped many new drivers locate their rear wiper switch. The position varies significantly by model: for SUVs like the Haval H6 or Tiguan, it's usually on the right-hand wiper stalk near the steering wheel—just twist the small knob at the end to activate the rear wiper. In sedans such as the Corolla, you might find a dedicated button on the center console. When it rains, stay calm—familiarize yourself with the stalk's position by touch before driving to avoid distracted searching. Some newer models feature touchscreen controls, where the rear wiper option lives in the display menu. Safety tip: Always check that the washer fluid functions properly, and promptly clear heavy rain from the rear window for optimal visibility.
