Maintaining pristine visibility is a key part of safe and confident driving, and it all begins with well-maintained wiper blades. Modern BYD vehicles, known for their advanced technology and sleek design, often feature wipers that park in a low, aerodynamic position. While this enhances the car’s efficiency and style, it can make accessing the blades for routine cleaning or replacement a challenge.
Unlike traditional cars that use a lever-and-ignition sequence, BYD leverages its sophisticated electric architecture and central infotainment system to simplify this task. The process is fully digital, intuitive, and designed for maximum convenience.
Here’s how to activate the Wiper Service Mode on your BYD.
The Digital Approach to Wiper Service
Gone are the days of fiddling with ignition sequences and stalks. Your BYD puts vehicle control at your fingertips through the central touchscreen. Activating the service mode is a simple menu-driven process.
-
Power Up the Vehicle:
Ensure your BYD is powered ON. You can be in READY mode (able to drive) or simply have the infotainment system active; you do not need to start driving. -
Navigate the Infotainment Menu:
On the main screen, tap on Settings (often represented by a gear icon). From there, look for and select the Vehicle Settings or Vehicle Health menu. Within that submenu, you will find an option labeled “Maintenance,” “Overhaul,” or “Service Position.” -
Activate Wiper Service Mode:
Inside the menu, you will see a toggle or button for “Wiper in service position” or “Wiper Maintenance Mode.” Select it. You will likely receive a confirmation prompt. Confirm your selection, and the wiper arms will automatically move to a vertical position on the windshield and stop, giving you clear and easy access. -
Return to Normal Operation:
Once you have finished cleaning or replacing the wiper blades, it’s crucial to deactivate the service mode through the screen. Simply navigate back to the same menu and toggle the “Wiper in service position” setting OFF. The wipers will then return to their standard resting position.
Important Safety Note: Always activate the service mode before lifting the wiper arms away from the windshield. Forcing them up without the electronic mode engaged could damage the wiper motor or arms.
This smart, integrated feature is a perfect example of how BYD uses innovation to enhance ownership ease. By moving vehicle functions into the intuitive infotainment system, BYD ensures that maintaining your vehicle is as simple and hassle-free as driving it.
Keep your windshield clear and your BYD performing perfectly for every journey.
