How to Lift the Wiper Blades on a BMW X1?
2 Answers
To lift the wiper blades on a BMW X1, follow these steps: 1. Press the start button to turn on the power; 2. Wait for about 5 seconds and press the start button again to turn off the power; 3. Push the wiper control lever all the way up and hold it for 3 seconds. The BMW X1 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4565mm in length, 1821mm in width, and 1620mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 103 kW and a maximum torque of 220 Nm.
I also encountered this issue when driving my BMW X1 before. In winter, when replacing the wiper blades, you need to lift the wipers first. The method is actually quite simple: first, completely turn off the car—remember, it must be in the off state. Then, don’t wait too long; immediately press down on the wiper stalk on the right side of the steering wheel (the same action you use to make the wipers sweep once), but this time, hold it down for about two seconds. At this point, you’ll see the wipers slowly move to the middle of the windshield and stop—this is the specially designed service position. Now, you can manually lift them up. After finishing, start the car, and the wipers will automatically reset. Remember not to force them up—my neighbor once lifted them directly and ended up scratching the paint on the edge of the hood, costing over 800 yuan to fix.
