How to lift the wiper of Kia K5?
2 Answers
Method to lift the wiper of Kia K5: When the engine is turned off and the power is shut down, push the lever upwards for about 3 seconds to lift the wiper. Wiper replacement time: Generally, it is recommended to replace the wiper once a year. However, if the wiping effect is still good and the wiper rubber has not aged, the replacement can be delayed. Therefore, the key factor is the condition of the wiper itself. If within a year, the wiper fails to clean the windshield effectively and the rubber feels hard, it needs to be replaced. Common causes of wiper damage are as follows: 1. Poor road conditions with a lot of dust and sand particles, which greatly affect the wiper; 2. Turning on the wiper before spraying water in rainy days; 3. Using tap water instead of windshield washer fluid.
Many Kia K5 owners ask about this during car repairs. After turning off the engine, don't remove the key—immediately push the wiper stalk all the way down and hold for 3 seconds. The wipers will automatically rise to the middle of the windshield, allowing you to lift them manually. The key is to perform this within the 10-second window before the vehicle's electrical system shuts down; if you're too slow, the system will lock. This method is most convenient for snow removal in winter, but remember to return the wipers to their original position before driving, otherwise the wiper arms may damage the paint on the hood.
