Nissan Qashqai wiper usage method: 1. Locate the wiper control lever on the lower left side of the steering wheel; 2. Push the wiper lever upward one position to activate the wiper; 3. To turn off the wiper, push the lever downward to the OFF position. Wipers can be categorized by their driving mechanisms into mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric types. Wiper removal steps: 1. Lift the wiper arm away from the vehicle's windshield; 2. Keep the wiper perpendicular to the windshield for stability; 3. Find the tab at the contact point between the wiper rubber blade and the metal arm; 4. Press the tab to remove the old wiper.

I've been driving the Qashqai for several years, and the wiper operation is actually quite simple. There's a control lever on the right side of the steering wheel—gently push it downward for low-speed wiping, which is suitable for light rain; push it upward for high-speed wiping, which works well in heavy rain. There's also a small button on the lever—press it to spray water and clean the front windshield, and the wipers will automatically swipe a few times afterward to clear the water. Some Qashqai models come with automatic wipers, which use a rain sensor to detect the size of raindrops and adjust the speed accordingly. You can adjust the sensitivity in the dashboard menu, such as setting it to be more responsive so the wipers move faster even in light rain. For regular maintenance, remember to check the wiper blades periodically to prevent them from aging or getting stuck. Before the rainy season, it's best to spray some windshield washer fluid for lubrication. I check mine monthly to keep the wipers smooth and quiet. If visibility gets blurry in heavy rain while driving, switch to high-speed mode promptly to ensure safety.

As a parent who commutes by car, I take safety very seriously when using the Nissan Qashqai's wipers. The operation is quite intuitive: the small lever on the right side of the steering wheel allows you to switch modes with a light touch. Push it down once for intermittent wiping, ideal for light drizzle; push it twice for continuous wiping, suitable for moderate rain; and push it up for high-speed wiping. The washer function is also straightforward—just press the button at the end of the lever to activate the washer fluid while the wipers clean the windshield. Depending on the Qashqai model, there might be an automatic setting that detects rainfall intensity, with sensitivity adjustable via the dashboard, which is very user-friendly and hassle-free for beginners. Driving in the rain requires clear visibility, so regularly clean the windshield to prevent oil buildup and check the wiper blades for wear or deformation to ensure effective wiping. During every maintenance visit, I remind the technician to inspect the wiper system—a small investment to prevent bigger issues, as safety always comes first.

When I first learned to drive the Qashqai, I was always confused about how to use the wipers, but it's actually not difficult. There's a control lever on the right side of the steering wheel—start by locating it. Pull it down once to activate the wipers at a slow speed, and push it up to switch to a faster speed. There's a small button on the lever; pressing it will spray water to clean the windshield, and the wipers will automatically swipe a few times. If the Qashqai has an automatic mode, it can adjust itself—when the rain is heavy, it reacts faster, so you don’t need to worry about forgetting to adjust it. Remember to turn on the wipers promptly when it rains; don’t delay too long and affect your driving. Routine maintenance is also simple—don’t neglect cleaning the wiper blades.
