If there is heavy accumulation of snow or ice on the windshield, remove it before operating the wipers, defrost the windshield for about 10 minutes, or until the snow and/or ice is removed before using the windshield wipers. If you do not remove the snow and/or ice before using the wiper and washer, it may damage the wiper and washer system.
Do not use the washer in freezing temperatures without first warming the windshield with the defroster; the washer solution could freeze on the windshield and obscure your vision.
If the wipers stop operating or remain outside of the normal stop position due to accumulated snow or other external factors, a warning message appears on the instrument cluster. Pull over to a safe location, park the vehicle, turn off the vehicle, open the hood, and completely remove any foreign material (especially below the wipers). Then operate the wipers to ensure proper operation.
If the wipers do not return to their normal position, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
