When I first drove the BMW 5 Series, it took me a while to find the rear wiper. Turns out it's on the control stalk on the left side of the steering wheel - just flip it to activate. There's usually a small icon at the top or side of the stalk, like a brush sweeping, and pressing it or pushing upward turns the rear wiper on/off. Super useful when driving in rain with blurred vision, as it clears water stains off the rear window. A reminder for beginners: don't panic looking for it while driving - practice the feel in parking spaces first. BMW's design is quite user-friendly, grouping it with other functions to minimize button clutter. I also recommend regularly checking wiper blade wear - replacing old ones ensures effectiveness. Overall, this equipment is essential for safe driving, so keep the manual handy.
