Kia EV6: Maintenance / Wiper Blades
Contents:
When the windshield wipers no longer clean the windshield effectively, the wiper blades may be worn, hardened, cracked, or damaged and should be replaced.
To prevent damage to the wiper mechanism, wiper arms, or related components, never move the wiper blades manually.
The use of non-approved wiper blades on the Kia EV6 may lead to poor wiping performance, excessive noise, or premature failure.
Blade Inspection
Commercial hot-wax treatments used by some automatic vehicle washes can reduce windshield cleanliness and negatively affect wiper performance.
Contamination on either the windshield or the wiper blades can significantly reduce wiping effectiveness. Common contaminants include insects, tree sap, road film, dust, pollen, and wax residues.
If the wiper blades on your Kia EV6 do not clean properly, thoroughly clean both the windshield and the blades using a quality glass cleaner or mild detergent solution, then rinse with clean water.
CAUTION
Wiper Blades
To prevent damage to the wiper blades, never use gasoline, kerosene, paint thinner, solvents, or other aggressive chemicals on or near the blades.
Replacing Front Windshield Wiper Blade
|
After switching off the Kia EV6, move the wiper control lever to the single-wipe (MIST) position within 20 seconds and hold it for more than two seconds. The wiper arms will automatically move into the service position, allowing safe inspection and replacement of the front windshield wiper blades.
