New Sylphy's wiper blades lifting method: 1. Turn the key to the OFF position, which is the completely power-off position; 2. Pull the wiper control lever towards you, which is the action to spray washer fluid when powered on; 3. The wipers will start operating with a swishing sound but won't reset, staying in front of the windshield, allowing you to lift them. The New Sylphy is a family sedan under Dongfeng Nissan, with body dimensions of 4610mm in length, 1760mm in width, and 1495mm in height, a wheelbase of 2700mm, equipped with Dunlop 195/60R16 high-quality tires and seven-spoke style aluminum alloy wheels.
To lift the wipers of the new Sylphy, the key lies in activating the wiper service mode: First, ensure the vehicle is turned off, with the key removed or the power button switched off. Then, within 10 seconds, gently push the wiper lever on the right side of the steering wheel downward once. A 'click' sound indicates entry into the maintenance position, where the wiper arms automatically rise to the center of the windshield, allowing you to easily lift them by hand for adjustment or replacement. Remember to operate safely—avoid forcing the wiper arms to prevent spring damage. This method is also useful before car washes or for removing leaves and snow. After maintenance, exit the mode and restart the power to reset the wipers. It's recommended to inspect the wiper rubber every three months to prevent aging and maintain optimal cleaning performance.
Regarding the wiper lifting feature on the new Sylphy, I prefer to operate it after turning off the engine to prevent accidental activation that might damage the wipers. Typically, locate the wiper control stalk near the steering wheel, quickly push it downward once to the MIST position for a few seconds to complete the action—the wipers will then pop up to the standby position. Afterward, gently lift the wiper arm upward by hand, avoiding excessive force to prevent damaging the linkage points. This design is quite thoughtful, saving you from bending over and risking scratching the windshield during car washes, while also allowing you to check if the wiper blades are worn or damaged. Developing this habit saves time during winter de-icing or rainy season maintenance. It's also advisable to use a dust cover to extend the wipers' lifespan.
