How to Lift Up the Windshield Wipers on the X-Trail?
2 Answers
Method to lift up the windshield wipers on the X-Trail: First, rotate the wipers to the middle position of the front windshield, then pull them outward. The X-Trail is an SUV model under Dongfeng Nissan, with body dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1785mm in width, and 1685mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2630mm, front track of 1540mm, and rear track of 1545mm. The X-Trail is equipped with a 2.0L 151-horsepower L4 engine, naturally aspirated, with a maximum power at 6000rpm and maximum torque of 194 Nm, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 7 gears).
I've been driving my X-Trail for a while now, and whenever I need to replace the wiper blades or park in snowy conditions, I always lift the wipers up to prevent ice damage. The process is quite simple: first, turn off the car and make sure the engine is completely shut down; then quickly push the wiper control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel to the top position marked 'MIST,' which is roughly the single wipe setting, and the wipers will rise and stop in the middle of the windshield. At this point, you can gently lift the wiper arms straight up when you step out of the car. Remember to be gentle and avoid pulling too hard to prevent damaging the wiper motor or scratching the glass. I usually do this every quarter when checking the wiper condition, such as cleaning dust off the rubber strips to extend their lifespan. With the wipers lifted, replacing new blades becomes much easier, especially when working in the garage during cold weather. To reset them, just gently place them back in position or start the vehicle to avoid any accidents the next time you drive.
