How to Lift the Wiper Blades on a BMW 5 Series?
2 Answers
To lift the wiper blades on a BMW 5 Series, follow these steps: After turning off the engine, do not remove the key. Press the wiper switch downward, then remove the key, and the wiper blades will lift up. The BMW 5 Series features a 4-door, 5-seater sedan body structure with dimensions of 5106mm in length, 1868mm in width, and 1500mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3105mm and a fuel tank capacity of 68 liters. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 135kW and a maximum torque of 290Nm. The front suspension uses a double-wishbone independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.
I've been driving a BMW 5 Series for several years and found that lifting the wipers is quite important in daily maintenance, especially to prevent freezing during cold seasons. First, make sure the car is completely turned off, then turn the key two clicks to the second position to power the dashboard without starting the engine. Next, operate the wiper control lever—usually push it down quickly once or hold the washer button for a few seconds—this will automatically move the wipers to a vertical position, entering maintenance mode. Quickly turn off the ignition, and they'll stay in place. Finally, you can manually lift them to prevent the wiper blades from sticking to the glass or to make replacement much easier. I also recommend regularly checking the wiper blades for wear to avoid poor visibility and ensure safety. This little trick saves hassle and extends the lifespan of vehicle components.
