Where is the rear wiper switch for the Volvo XC60?

Volvo XC60's rear wiper switch is located on the right side of the steering wheel, where there is a wiper lever. Below is more related information: Introduction to the wiper: 1. You can activate the rear wiper by pushing the wiper lever forward or backward. This operation differs from the up-and-down movement of the front wiper switch. Pushing the lever forward or backward controls the rear wiper's on/off function, intermittent swinging, automatic mode, and washer fluid spray. The rear wiper is the wiper for the rear windshield of the car. Rear wipers are commonly equipped on SUVs, MPVs, hatchbacks, and some liftback vehicles. 2. Sedans have a more inclined rear glass, while hatchbacks have a less inclined angle. The front wipers are hidden behind the engine hood, so when high-speed airflow passes over the front of the car, it is blocked by the hood, preventing any impact on the wipers.
I remember exploring this last time when driving my friend's Volvo XC60. The rear wiper switch is on the long stalk to the left of the steering wheel. Look closely at the end of the stalk, and you'll find a wiper icon. Rotate the entire stalk head counterclockwise to activate the rear wiper, which offers three adjustable speed settings. Pressing the button at the end lightly sprays washer fluid to clean the rear window. This rotary knob design might feel unfamiliar at first, but once you get used to it, you can operate it blindly with one hand. In winter, make sure to defrost the ice layer on the glass first, otherwise the motor can easily get stuck and burn out. By the way, the rear window defroster wires are located right below the wiper blade, so don't waste time looking for the switch on the climate control panel when trying to defog.
