How to Lift the Octavia's Wiper Blades?
2 Answers
The method to lift the Octavia's wiper blades is: 1. Turn the car key to the 'on' position without starting the engine, causing the dashboard lights to illuminate; 2. Pull the wiper switch downward to activate the wipers; 3. At the moment the wipers start working, turn the key back; 4. Quickly remove the car key; 5. Stop the wipers in the middle of the front windshield to lift them. The Octavia is a sedan under the SAIC Volkswagen Skoda brand, with body dimensions of 4659mm in length, 1814mm in width, and 1460mm in height, a wheelbase of 2686mm, a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and a trunk capacity ranging from 590 to 1580 liters.
I've been driving the Octavia for several years and often need to lift the wipers upright and return them to position. The steps are actually quite simple: first turn off the car and shut down the engine, then quickly push the wiper control lever upward. Wait about half a second, and the wipers will stop in the center of the windshield. At this point, you can gently lift them to stand completely upright. Remember, the vehicle must be turned off during this operation—do not start the engine, as it may damage the wiper motor. To reset, perform the same steps: push the lever to return the wipers to the center position before lowering them. This is especially important in winter, as frozen wipers on the windshield can cause the rubber blades to crack. Lifting them prevents freezing and avoids scratching the glass the next day. This method also makes replacing new wiper blades easier—clean the windshield first to reduce dust interference during the replacement process.
