How to Lift the Wiper Blades on a Sagitar?

Method to lift the wiper blades on a Sagitar: 1. Insert the car key, turn to the power-on position, then turn back; 2. Turn off the power, push the wiper switch downward, and the wiper will automatically stop when it reaches the top; 3. At this point, you can directly hold the middle part of the wiper blade and lift it. To restore it to its original position, turn on the ignition and operate the wiper switch. The Sagitar has a body length, width, and height of 4753mm, 1800mm, and 1462mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2731mm. The Sagitar features a distinctive family-style design, presenting an overall appearance that is both elegant and stable, with smooth body lines and refined detailing.

I recently bought a Volkswagen Sagitar and found that the method to lift the wipers is quite simple: after parking and turning off the engine, quickly push the wiper control lever on the right side of the steering wheel downward once; the wipers will immediately move to the middle of the windshield, allowing you to easily lift them. This operation is useful in winter to prevent the wipers from freezing to the glass or when replacing new wiper blades. After completing the task, don’t rush to start the car—gently lower the wipers first to avoid damaging the motor by pulling too hard; the wipers will automatically reset the next time you start the car. The whole process is safe and efficient, and I often perform this maintenance before cold snaps to protect the vehicle from accidental scratches. This design is very smart and easy to learn.

Having driven the Sagitar for nearly three years, I've mastered the wiper lifting technique: immediately after the vehicle is completely turned off, press the wiper lever downward once, and the wipers will stop in the middle position, allowing you to lift them. This Volkswagen-specific maintenance mode is very practical for daily use, preventing freezing or facilitating wiper blade cleaning. Remember to park on level ground before operating, and use the one-touch start to turn off afterward to avoid damage. I check this during seasonal maintenance and find it extends wiper lifespan. Never force the wipers when the engine is running, as it may cause mechanical failure. It's simple and quick to operate – try it and you'll get the hang of it.

As an average car owner, I didn't know how to lift the Sagitar wipers before. Actually, just press the wiper lever once after turning off the engine, and the wipers will move to the middle position, allowing you to lift them easily. This method prevents wipers from freezing in winter or makes replacement less labor-intensive. Ensure the car is safely parked, and gently put them back after operation.
