Can I control back wiper

[ajk]

I can't find a control which allows me to control the back wiper. I noticed that the back wiper was wiping when I had the front wipers going without me requesting it to do so... is that how it works? Wipes when the front do whether it needs it or not?

:mrgreen: I think you need to take a closer look at your manual...the rear window wiper control is on the same stalk as the front wiper control. If you look closely, it's right at the end of the control arm and can be used independently of the front wipers. It sounds like you just hit them by mistake. I did the first few times in the car too!

Quickly read your manual! You will be attacked! :lol:

Please read your manual, you will learn so much about your vehicle.... Put it in your bathroom for a week :)

Whew, thanks!
Believe it or not, I do have the manuals with me at all times (breakfast, lunch break at work). I am on my second pass through! I have to confess being much more enthrolled with the Navi manual, because it is the first Navi for me. The wipers were not as exciting ;-) Thank you so much for endulging the simple answers. I promise to pay back some newbie with good answers in time too!

"When you shift the transmission to the reverse position with the front windshield wiper activated, the rear wiper operates automatically even if the rear wiper switch switch is off".
