How to Lift the Wiper Blades on a Changan CS35?
2 Answers
Turn the key from the ON position to the OFF position. Within 5 seconds, move the wiper lever from its OFF position upward to the MIST position and hold it in the MIST position for more than 1 second. The wipers will enter maintenance mode, causing the wiper blades to move upward a certain distance, allowing you to lift the wiper arms and blades and keep them in an upright position.
I've been driving the Changan CS35 for several years and often need to position the wipers upright for blade replacement or to prevent wear during car washes. The steps are super simple: First, completely turn off the engine and remove the key or press the one-button start to cut the power. Then comes the crucial move—within 5 seconds after turning off the engine, quickly press the wiper spray button once (some models require holding the wiper stalk up for a few seconds). This will make the system park the wipers in the maintenance position. Next, gently lift the wiper arm upward by hand, and it will stand upright. Never force it up without entering this mode, as it can scratch the glass or damage the motor. I always check the joint for smooth movement; if it creaks, I add some lubricant to prevent rust. After the operation, return the wipers to their original position and test them before driving—safety comes first. Doing this before winter snow helps avoid freezing and sticking, extending their lifespan. I perform this maintenance roughly once a month, also taking the chance to clean dust and leaves from the windshield groove.
