A wiper switch in a car is a control mechanism that allows the driver to operate the windshield wipers. It is typically located on the steering column or dashboard within easy reach of the driver. The switch is designed to have multiple settings to adjust the speed and functionality of the wipers.

The wiper switch has different positions or functions. The most common ones include:

• Off: This position turns off the wipers completely.
• Intermittent: In this setting, the wipers operate intermittently, pausing between each sweep, allowing the driver to adjust the frequency according to their preference.
• Low Speed: This setting activates the wipers at a slower speed, suitable for light rain or mist.
• High Speed: The high-speed setting increases the wiper speed to quickly and effectively clear the windshield during heavy rainfall or snowfall.
• Washer: When the wiper switch is pulled or pressed in this position, it activates the windshield washer system, spraying fluid onto the windshield to aid in clearing dirt, debris, or grime that may hinder visibility.

The wiper switch plays a crucial role in ensuring driver safety by allowing them to adapt the windshield wipers' speed and operation to the prevailing weather conditions.
