BMW X1's rear wiper switch is located on the top of the wiper control lever as a rotary knob. Turn it forward to activate the rear wiper. Here are the specific details about the BMW X1: 1. Exterior: As a mid-cycle refresh model, the overall proportions remain consistent with the current version, with the addition of the latest family design elements in some details. The iconic double-kidney grille is larger, paired with a sporty front bumper, delivering a stronger visual impact. Additionally, the headlight assembly has been visually enhanced, featuring a new spoon-shaped LED daytime running light for a sharper and more imposing look. The dimensions of the new BMW X1 are 4565/1821/1620mm, with a wheelbase of 2780mm. 2. Interior: The interior retains the styling of the current model, with changes mainly in details, such as the new-style electronic gear shift lever, further elevating the sense of luxury. The new BMW X1 comes standard with LED headlights, front sport seats, an electronic gear shift lever, six-color ambient lighting, and a driver-side welcome logo.

As a car enthusiast, I find the rear wiper activation on the BMW X1 very intuitive. On the right-hand control stalk behind the steering wheel, there's a dedicated ring for rear wiper control. Simply rotate it once after starting the vehicle to activate the rear wiper; further rotation adjusts the speed, such as intermittent or continuous modes. BMW's human-centered design integrates this function on the same stalk to prevent driver distraction. The rear wiper proves particularly useful during rainy or muddy conditions, helping maintain rear window clarity for improved visibility and safety. Remember to operate it only after ignition, otherwise it may not respond. New owners should consult the manual's diagrams to confirm the exact location and regularly inspect wiper blade wear. Personally, I habitually engage the rear wiper during foggy conditions - while not frequently used, it can be lifesaving when needed. Test the washer function via the same stalk or a separate button to ensure proper operation.

What is the fault when the BMW X1 power steering fails?

BMW X1 power steering failure is caused by steering gear failure, power assistance failure, lack of oil, heavy steering, steering noise, or steering system oil leakage. More information about power steering is as follows: 1. Power steering system: It is mainly divided into hydraulic power steering and electric power steering. Hydraulic power steering is a traditional method with the advantages of low cost and sufficient steering power, commonly used in household vehicles. In comparison, electric power steering has more advantages. First, the motor provides assistance only during steering, which can reduce fuel consumption; second, the steering assistance level can be adjusted through software, providing a noticeable "road feel" at high speeds, improving vehicle stability; third, the system is easy to assemble and maintain. 2. Self-rescue method for electronic power steering failure: Lift the throttle, push the gear lever into a low gear, pull the parking brake, and when the speed significantly decreases, press the brake pedal to gradually stop the vehicle.

What does trouble code C0018 mean?

After removing the negative ground cable of the battery, the engine operation data stored in RAM will be lost, resulting in poor performance of the vehicle for a considerable period after repair, or the reappearance of previously cleared trouble codes after driving for some time. 2. Malfunctioning features: Sometimes it may also cause some useful features to malfunction, such as the audio lock function, which is one of the common situations.

How to apply for a car ETC?

ETC can be applied for at bank branches, expressway service areas, and other institutions. The application requires the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A Postal Savings credit card application form is needed, as this credit card will be used to bind the ETC card. After obtaining the credit card, swipe it twice and use the POS receipt to collect and install the ETC onboard device for free at designated Postal Savings outlets. No fees are charged during this process. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection. The application requires the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and vehicle license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the vehicle license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. A bank card is needed for deducting expressway toll fees. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle in their name. Here are the precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: Many car models have a steeply angled windshield, which can reduce the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it can increase blind spots for the driver. Install it behind the rearview mirror on the right side to avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: The ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement, as it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the blackened areas on the windshield and positions that might block the solar panel. Do not remove it arbitrarily once installed: The button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If the tag is removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This mechanism is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic toll payment for the vehicle ahead. The ETC lane recognizes vehicles at a speed of 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information and failed toll deduction. When using a debit card to bind ETC, insufficient balance can also lead to failed toll deductions.
