How to operate the wiper of BMW X1?
2 Answers
BMW X1 front wiper gear operation process: 1. Move the wiper lever to the bottom position to turn on the wiper, and move it upwards to activate the wiper. The higher you move it, the faster the wiper blade will wipe. 2. There is a button with an "A" on the wiper gear. Press it to light up for automatic wiper function. Precautions for driving BMW X1 in rainy days: 1. Cars are particularly prone to malfunctions in rainy days, so it is necessary to conduct a thorough safety inspection before traveling. 2. When driving in rainy days, prioritize slow speed, stay focused, and obey traffic rules. 3. Drive in the middle of the road on dirt roads. Since rainwater soaks the roadbed, the roadside is prone to collapse, which can cause rollover accidents. Therefore, when driving on dirt roads, especially avoid the sides and drive in the middle.
Driving the BMW X1, I found the wiper operation quite simple, just using the control stalk on the right side of the steering wheel. When I need to activate the wipers, a gentle push upward on the stalk sets it to medium speed, which works fine for light to moderate rain. Pushing it all the way up engages high speed, especially useful during heavy rain. Pulling the stalk down once puts it in intermittent mode, where the frequency can be adjusted based on rain intensity—some models even have a small dial on the steering wheel for fine-tuning the speed. To spray washer fluid and clean the windshield, simply press the button at the end of the stalk; this activates both the spray and wipers, which stop automatically after cleaning. Be careful not to let ice or leaves jam the wipers while they're operating, as this can damage the blades. Regularly check the wiper blades for wear and replace them before they start streaking. The whole process is just a matter of moving your fingers, and once you get familiar with it, it becomes second nature—especially crucial for safe driving in rainy conditions, where clear visibility ensures a more relaxed and secure ride.
