How to Lift the Wiper Blades on a Nissan Tiida?

[StIsabel]

The Tiida is equipped with anti-theft wiper blades. When the engine is off, push the wiper control lever upward for 10 seconds, and the wipers will automatically move to the center of the windshield and stop, allowing you to lift them. Here is some information about the Nissan Tiida: 1. Powertrain: The Tiida is powered by a 1.6-liter HR16DE all-aluminum inline 4-cylinder engine, featuring a DOHC (Double Overhead Camshaft) structure combined with CVTC (Continuous Variable Valve Timing Control) technology. 2. Braking System: It utilizes front and rear disc brakes, which offer advantages such as rapid heat dissipation, lightweight construction, simple design, easy adjustment, shorter braking time, and more stable performance.

When I used to drive a Tiida, I often needed to raise the wipers, especially when washing the car or replacing the wiper blades. The operation is quite simple: first, make sure the car is turned off, then wait for the wipers to automatically return to their resting position, which usually takes a few seconds after turning off the ignition. Next, quickly move the wiper lever to the highest speed position and release it. After hearing a click, immediately get out of the car and gently lift the wiper arm to raise it. Don’t forget that the base of the wiper might sometimes catch on the edge of the windshield, so apply light force to avoid damage. This design is meant to prevent scratches on the windshield from the wipers during car washes and also makes it easier to check for wiper blade wear. This operation is common for most Nissan Tiida models post-2010, but always check the manual before proceeding—safety first. Making it a habit to do this every six months can significantly extend the lifespan of your wipers.

I've studied the wiper system of the Nissan Tiida. The key to lifting the wipers lies in the control logic. After turning off the engine, the wiper motor loses power, but you need to use the stalk to trigger a temporary state: first move it to the high-speed position and then release, which puts it into maintenance mode, releasing the lock. Then you can manually lift the wiper arms, preventing battery drain or accidental activation that could damage the motor. It's recommended to perform this operation in a garage with level ground to reduce the risk of vehicle movement. Doing this regularly also allows you to check for any looseness at the wiper connections and replace worn rubber blades promptly, saving money and improving efficiency. Especially in northern winters before freezing temperatures, lifting the wipers prevents them from freezing, which greatly benefits driving safety. Don't overlook this small detail.

For safety, the Nissan Tiida's wiper arms must be lifted in the correct sequence. After turning off the engine, wait for the wiper arms to stop completely. Then, move the wiper lever to the fast mode and release it—the arms will unlock with a snap, allowing you to lift them manually. Never attempt this while the engine is running to avoid confusing the system and damaging the car. I've seen cases where forced pulling damaged the clips, leading to costly repairs—always use gentle force. This procedure is designed to prevent windshield scratches when washing the car or replacing wiper blades. Performing this step before regular car washes extends wiper lifespan, but be careful not to bend the arms at sharp angles. It's recommended to clean the rubber blades with a cloth.

As an experienced driver, I'm used to setting up the wipers on my Tiida like this: turn off the car, wait a few seconds until the wipers stop, then move the stalk to the high-speed position and release. After hearing a click sound indicating they're unlocked, gently lift the arms from the front of the car. The whole process takes about ten seconds, mainly for easier car washing or checking wiper blade wear. When washing the car with high water pressure, lifting them prevents windshield damage and lets you inspect the rubber strips for cracks or debris, allowing timely replacement to maintain clear visibility. Doing this quarterly saves money and hassle on vehicle maintenance. Take your time with the operation and ensure the car is parked steadily.
