Turning off the rear windshield wiper is essential for maintaining your vehicle and ensuring clear visibility while driving. When not in use, the wiper blades can become damaged or worn, reducing their effectiveness and potentially scratching the rear windshield. Additionally, leaving the wiper running unnecessarily consumes battery power and can be a distraction while driving.
To turn off the rear windshield wiper, simply locate the wiper stalk on the right-hand side of the steering column. The stalk typically has a symbol of a windshield with a wiper blade. Push the stalk down once to turn off the wiper.
