CHECK YOUR CAR2025 Zeekr 7X · Europe English online manual · Long Range RWD reference

Checked against the official European English MY2025 7X online manual on 27 October 2026. China-market apps, hardware and OTA versions differ. Match your car’s display and equipment; the Chinese report supplies context, while the manufacturer manual supplies the procedure.

THE QUICK ANSWER

With the car in P, blades stopped and free of ice, open Safety & Service → Service and select the wiper maintenance position. Return the arms gently before restoring normal operation.

Chinese owner report: context, not a diagnosis

The owner describes wiper blades no longer clearing well after use. This is an individual report or discussion, not evidence of a widespread defect. The checks below concern the European export car; they do not establish what caused the Chinese owner’s symptom.

Before you start

Park with the wipers off and make sure the blades are not frozen to the glass. Obtain compatible replacement blades if the aim is to replace worn ones.

Follow the export-car controls

1Set the service positionOpen the car-settings menu → Safety & Service → Service and set the wiper blades to their maintenance position.
2Access the front blades carefullyLift the front arms away from the windscreen. A towel beneath an arm can protect the glass while a blade is being handled.
3Restore normal operationAfter the work, gently return the blades to the windscreen. Use Safety & Service → Service to set the normal operating position.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

Check that both blades are correctly fitted before use. The manual describes wear and dirt as reasons for reduced clearing and recommends compatible blades from an approved partner. The Chinese owner’s reported lifespan is an individual experience, not a replacement interval for every 7X.

Common questions

Can I use the same lifting angle for the rear arm?+

Do not assume so. The manual separately limits rear-arm movement to 20 degrees; this guide concerns the front service position.

Should I run wipers frozen to the glass?+

No. Free them from ice before operating or setting up maintenance.
