Replacing the front wiper blade
Operation
僅 Turn off the vehicle.
僅 Move the wiper switch to the single
wiping (MIST/1x) position within 20
seconds.
僅 Hold the wiper switch for more than 2
seconds.
僅 Raise the wiper arm.
僅 Lift the wiper blade clip up. Pull down
the blade assembly and remove it.
僅 Install the new blade assembly.
僅 Upon starting the vehicle, the wiper
arms will return to their normal oper
-
ating position.
To prevent damage to the wiper arms or
other components, have the wiper blade
replaced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends visiting an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
僅 Do not use gasoline, kerosene, paint
thinner, or other solvents on or near
them.
僅 Do not attempt to move the wipers
manually.
僅 The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper malfunc
-
tion and failure.
僅 Do not allow the wiper arm to fall
against the windshield, since it may
chip or crack the windshield.
僅 If the wiper arm receives too much
force while pulling the blade, the cen
-
ter part may be damaged.
僅 The wiper could not operate for
approximately 10 seconds when the
wiper is operated without washer fluid
or the blades are frozen. This is not a
malfunction, it is a wiper protection
system activated by motor overload
circuit within the wiper motor.
僅 The front windshield should be
cleaned with water hose and wiped
with clean towel with wiper blades
raised up. Also, the wiper blades
should be wiped clean when the
grease or wax is applied to the blades.
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto
-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
