How to Lift the Wiper Blades on a Nissan Tiida?
2 Answers
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.
