2 Answers
The method to lift the wiper blades on a BMW 5 Series is as follows: 1. Turn off the car without pressing the brake pedal, then press the start button to power on the vehicle; 2. After the car is powered on, wait for about 5 seconds, then press the start button again to turn off the power; 3. Push the wiper control lever upward to the top and hold it for 3 seconds, then the wiper blades can be lifted. Models of the BMW 5 Series include: BMW 525Li, BMW 525LiM, BMW 530LiM, BMW 530Li, BMW 530Li xDrive, etc. Taking the 2021 BMW 525Li as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized car with body dimensions of: length 5106mm, width 1868mm, height 1500mm, and a wheelbase of 3105mm.
As a veteran BMW driver with over a decade of experience, let me tell you that raising the wipers on a BMW 5 Series is actually quite simple. Within 10 seconds after parking and turning off the engine, press and hold the wiper stalk on the right side of the steering wheel all the way down for two seconds, and the wipers will automatically move to the service position. This is especially convenient for winter car washes or replacing the rubber blades, but remember to act quickly as it won't work after the power is cut. Once raised, don't force them to avoid damaging the motor. Here's a little tip: it's best to raise them before snowfall and wrap the rubber blades with an old towel to prevent freezing. Before your next drive, just press the stalk once after turning on the power, and they'll return to position automatically. Don't forget to check the drainage holes, as frequent clogging can affect the wipers' lifespan.
