Where is the rear wiper switch located?

The rear wiper switch is located on the wiper stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. The front wipers are controlled by moving the stalk up and down, while the rear wiper is controlled by pushing or pulling the stalk. The rear wiper is the wiper installed on the rear windshield of the vehicle. Rear wipers are commonly equipped on SUVs, MPVs, hatchbacks, and some liftback vehicles. A wiper is a tool installed on the front windshield of motor vehicles to simply clean rainwater and other debris that may obstruct the driver's vision. Precautions for using wipers: 1. Regularly refill the windshield washer fluid; do not use tap water as a substitute. 2. Ensure the wipers are used only when there is water on the glass surface. 3. Clean the wiper blade rubber and any debris on the glass surface promptly. 4. When the vehicle is parked for an extended period or in snowy/icy conditions, lift the wiper arms off the windshield.

I remember when I first got familiar with cars, I noticed that the position of the rear wiper switch varies significantly depending on the model. In my years of driving experience, for SUVs or hatchbacks, the rear wiper switch is usually located on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel, integrated with the light control lever. For example, twisting the top or pressing the side button of the stalk can activate it. Some high-end models might integrate it into the multifunction steering wheel buttons or a separate knob on the center console. Sedans rarely have rear wipers, but if you're driving a family SUV, this feature is particularly crucial for cleaning the rear window in rainy weather to avoid blind spots that could cause accidents. If you can't find it, don't panic—just pull out the owner's manual and check the dashboard controls section. I usually test it during car washes to ensure the wiper and washer function properly. If the location is unclear, asking a technician at the 4S dealership is always a good idea. Never overlook these small details for driving safety.
