Maintenance
OMQ4070094L
If the replacement is complete,
put down the wiper arm to place
it on the rear windscreen, and
turn the vehicle ignition to ON and
operate the wipers to check the
blade is installed correctly.
5. Make sure the blade assembly is
installed firmly by trying to pull it
slightly.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, have the
wiper blade replaced by a profes -
sional workshop. Kia recommends to
visit an authorised Kia dealer/ser -
vice partner.
CAUTION
If the wiper arm receives too much
force whilst pulling the blade, the
centre part may be damaged.
CAUTION
The wiper could not operate for
approx. 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.
The front windscreen 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.
