BMW X3 Owners Manual: Fold-out position of the wipers

Fold wipers back when you want to change the blades or with pending low temperatures.

1. Switch the ignition on and off again.

2. With icy conditions make sure that blades are not frozen to the windshield.

3. Press the wiper lever up beyond the point of resistance and hold it for approx. 3 seconds, until the wiper remains in a nearly vertical position.

After the wipers are folded back down, the wiper system must be reactivated.

Folding wipers back down

Before switching the ignition on, fold the wipers back down to the windshield; otherwise, the wipers may become damaged when they are activated.

1. Switch on the ignition.

2. Push wiper lever down. Wipers move to their resting position and are ready again for operation.
