How to Lift the Wiper Blades on a BMW 1 Series?

Method to lift the wiper blades on a BMW 1 Series: First, ensure the car is in the off state but do not press the brake pedal. Press the start button without igniting the engine, just to power on the car. After keeping the car powered on for about 5 seconds, press the start button again to turn off the power. Then, push the wiper control lever all the way up and hold it for 3 seconds, and the wiper blades will lift up. The dimensions of the BMW 1 Series are 4239mm in length, 1748mm in width, and 1421mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2660mm. The luggage compartment volume ranges from 330 to 1150L, and it features a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. In terms of configuration, the BMW 1 Series comes standard with LED headlights, an 8.8-inch central touchscreen display, brake assist, driving assistance imaging, keyless start, driving experience control system, and emergency call function.
As someone who frequently tinkers with cars in the garage, I think the BMW 1 Series wiper arm positioning requires a specific method. Don't rush to lift them directly—you might scratch the hood paint! Here's the correct procedure: Sit in the car, turn off the engine (don't press the brake), and quickly press the ignition button twice to power on. Then immediately pull the wiper control stalk toward you firmly for about 3 seconds—the wipers will slowly move to the center of the windshield and stop, like standing at attention. After this, you can gently lift the wiper blades to replace the rubber inserts or clear snow. A reminder: In winter, always remember to lift the wipers; otherwise, if they freeze and you try to use them, you might burn out the motor.
