How to Lift Up the Wiper Blades of the X-Trail?
2 Answers
The method to lift up the wiper blades of the X-Trail is: 1. Move the wiper blades to the middle position of the front windshield; 2. Pull the wiper blades outward. The functions of the wiper blades include: 1. Helping the vehicle maintain a safe distance from the centerline of the road on the left; 2. Assisting the driver in determining the position of the left wheels; 3. Helping to judge the position of the right wheels; 4. Aiding in estimating the distance between the right side of the vehicle and the roadside; 5. Assisting in parallel parking; 6. Removing raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield. The X-Trail is a compact SUV under Dongfeng Nissan. Taking the 2017 X-Trail Manual Classic 2WD as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4643 mm, width 1820 mm, height 1725 mm, and the wheelbase is 2706 mm.
I just replaced the wiper blades on my X-Trail and found it super easy to lift the wipers. After turning off the car and removing the key, wait a few seconds and quickly push the wiper control lever—usually moving it down or up once—and the wipers will automatically move to the middle and stop, allowing you to lift them easily for blade replacement or cleaning. Remember not to do this while the car is running, as it might scratch the windshield. The wiper lift mode is actually designed for maintenance and winter frost prevention. Last time I used it to clean the windshield, it didn’t freeze. It’s recommended to check the wiper blades regularly and replace them if they’re too worn, as poor wiping can affect driving safety.
