The wipers are controlled by a lever on the right side of the steering column. As the lever is moved down, it switches the wipers to intermittent, low speed and high speed. If the lever is pulled toward the steering wheel, the washer sprays.
If the lever is pushed away from the steering wheel, the wipers sweep until it is released. The rear wiper/washer on GLC Hatchback is controlled by a rocker switch on the instrument panel. The RX7 rear wiper switch is on the console.
