To lift up the wipers on a BMW X1, follow these steps: 1. Ensure the vehicle is turned off; 2. Press the start button to power on the vehicle without pressing the brake pedal or starting the engine; 3. Wait for 5 seconds, then turn off the power; 4. Push the wiper control lever upwards and hold it at the top position for more than 3 seconds. The wipers will then lift up, and you can move them away. Additional information: As a mid-cycle refresh model, the BMW X1 maintains the same overall proportions as the current model, with the addition of some family design elements in certain details. The iconic double-kidney grille is larger in size, combined with the sporty front bumper, creating a strong visual impact.
For the BMW X1 wiper blades to stand up, I remember doing this often when washing the car or replacing the blades. After turning off the engine, wait a few seconds, then quickly push the wiper control lever downward once, and the wipers will automatically lift to the vertical position, making it convenient for you to operate. If you accidentally miss the timing, you can gently lift them manually, but avoid using excessive force to prevent damage to the windshield. After washing the car, don’t forget to return them to their original position, as the wipers will reset normally. It’s recommended to clean the wiper blade rubber strips each time you wash the car to prevent dust buildup from affecting performance. BMW’s design is quite thoughtful, and there usually aren’t any sticking issues—just regularly check the rubber strips for wear to avoid bigger problems. Safety first: always turn off the engine before operating to prevent accidental activation.
