Where is the windshield wiper?

The windshield wiper is located on the right side of the steering wheel. Pushing it upwards once activates intermittent wiping, and the speed increases the further you push it up. Pulling it all the way down stops the wiper. Below is an introduction to car windshield wipers: 1. Structure of the wiper: The wiper assembly includes components such as a motor, reducer, four-bar linkage, wiper arm spindle, and wiper blade assembly. When the driver presses the wiper switch, the motor starts, and its rotational speed is increased in torque through a worm gear mechanism to drive the swing arm. The swing arm then drives the four-bar linkage, which in turn causes the shaft mounted on the front bulkhead to swing left and right. Finally, the shaft drives the wiper blade to sweep across the windshield. 2. Features of the wiper: It is heat-resistant, cold-resistant, acid and alkali-resistant, corrosion-resistant, fits the windshield well, reduces motor load with low noise, has strong water-repellent properties, and is soft enough not to scratch the windshield.
Hey, speaking of windshield wipers, they are quite noticeable on the front windshield of our cars—those things connected to an arm. When it rains heavily, just push the small lever on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the wiping motion. The placement is very ergonomic, allowing operation without distraction while driving. I recommend regularly checking the rubber blades for aging or cracks, as worn blades can leave streaks and impair visibility. During the rainy season, pay extra attention to using the washer fluid system to clean dirt off the glass. If no fluid sprays out, the reservoir might be empty—just top it up with dedicated windshield washer fluid. During routine maintenance, have the technician check the wiper motor and wiring to prevent unexpected failures and ensure safe driving in the rain. This is quite important.
