  4. Install the new blade assembly by inserting the center part into the slot in the wiper arm until it clicks into place.
  5. Make sure that the blade assembly is installed firmly by trying to pull it slightly.

    Place the wiper arm on the rear windshield, and start the vehicle to the ON position, and operate the rear wiper to make sure the blade is installed correctly.

    To prevent damage to the wiper arm or other components, have the wiper blade replaced by an authorized Kia dealer.

    TIP

    • The wiper may not operate for approximately 10 seconds if you try to operate it without washer fluid or if the blades are frozen. This is not a malfunction. It is a wiper protection system activated by the motor overload circuit within the wiper motor.

    • With the wiper blades raised up, clean the front windshield with a hose and wipe it with a clean towel. Whenever grease or wax has been applied to the wiper blades, wipe them clean.

    NOTE

    If you apply too much force to the wiper arm while pulling the blade, you may damage the center part.
