How do I use back windshield wipers?

I'm hoping to get my learner's permit this year, and I still have a few questions about cars. I hope this doesn’t sound too silly, but how do I use back windshield wipers?

Don’t worry, there are no silly questions when it comes to cars—there’s a lot to learn!
To use your back windshield wipers, do the following:
  • Make sure your ignition is on
  • Locate the turn signal switch beside your steering wheel
  • Turn the inner ring to activate the back windshield wipers. There are three common modes: O for off, 1 for intermittent, and 2 for normal speed
