CAUTION
After remove the overload con-
dition, if the problem of wiper
blades or operating the motor
remains, we recommend that
the system be checked by an
authorized Kia dealer.
❈ ❈ Overload condition
- In a rainy day when driving
through a long tunnel
- When wax car wash
- Water-repellent coating
(coated glass)
- Cleaning the windshield
cleaners
- Excessive blade wear etc.
In a rainy day if the windshield glass
gets dry when driving through a long
tunnel, the wiping velocity may
reduce to protect the motor and
blade. It will return to its normal state,
after passing through the tunnel.
In case of overload the wiper motor
that the function adjusts speed auto-
matically in vehicle. This feature pre-
vents damage to the wiper motor and
blade. In case of removal overload
conditions, it will return to its normal
position. By the pressure of the wind
at high speed wiper blades can be
moved upwards. This prevents dam-
age due to wiper motor overload by
the pressure of the wind.
Operating the wiper blade and wiper
switch operates normally, it will
return to its normal position.

When the operation of the passen-
ger's side wiper blade is limited by
accumulated snow on the cowl top
cover, operating angle of the driver's
side wiper blade will be reduced to
avoid collision between the wiper
blades. Operating under a reduced
angle, the driver's side blade stop
position will be different.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
If you do not remove the snow
and/or ice before using the wiper
and washer, it may damage the
