Rear Window Wiper

A - Intermittent wiping.

B - Continuous wiping.

C - Rear window wiper off.

Depending on your vehicle, when you turn on the front wipers and shift the transmission into reverse (R), the rear wiper may switch to intermittent mode.

Rear Window Washer

Push the lever away from you to activate the rear window washer. When you release the lever, the wiper operates for a short time.

Do not operate the washer if the washer fluid reservoir is empty. This may cause the washer pump to overheat.

Rear Camera Washer (if equipped)

Operating the rear washer also activates the rear camera washer.
