How to use a rear wiper properly?

I've bought Skoda Fabia 2006 recently. I can't still figure out how to activate a rear wiper without the 'shampoo' being released. I just want to be able to wipe the rear window when it rains instead of washing it every time.
Many Thanks

Is it a push or a twist? You're probably just pushing or twisting a notch further than needed.0

To wipe once push it forward one click and then back one click again. No need to keep pushing it forward0

IIRC, VAG vehicles have long been a single operation - so it's entirely possible your Skoda is, too.
Push once for wash/wipe. Hold for a longer wash. When the timed wipe is finished, it settles to intermittent. Push again to turn intermittent off.
What does the owner's handbook say...?0 -
why don't u look in the manual0

You are pushing the lever to far.
Push lever to switch wiper on, it will stop, push further to get wash. When you let go it will drop back to wipe position.0
