2. Lift up the wiper blade, and pull the
blade to remove it.
3. Install the new blade assembly by
inserting the center part into the slot
in the wiper arm until it clicks into
place.
If the replacement is complete, put
down the wiper arm to place it on the
rear windshield, and turn the vehicle
to ON position and operate the wipers
to check the blade is installed cor
-
rectly.
4. Make sure the blade assembly is
installed firmly by trying to pull it
slightly.
INFORMATION
To prevent damage to the wiper arms or
other components, have the wiper blade
replaced by a professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
CAUTION
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.
NOTICE
Commercial hot waxes applied by auto
-
matic car washes have been known to
make the windshield difficult to clean.
And it is the responsibility of customers
to wash and manage the vehicle with
adequate methods and materials.
