Kia Picanto: Wipers and washers / Windshield washers (front)

In the O (Off) position, pull the lever
gently toward you to spray washer fluid
on the windshield and to run the wipers
1-3 cycles.
Use this function when the windshield
is dirty.
The spray and wiper operation will continue
until you release the lever.
If the washer does not work, check the
washer fluid level. If the fluid level is
not sufficient, you will need to add appropriate
non-abrasive windshield
washer fluid to the washer reservoir.
The reservoir filler neck is located in
the front of the engine compartment
on the passenger side.
CAUTION
To prevent possible damage to the
washer pump, do not operate the
washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
WARNING
Do not use the washer in freezing
temperatures without first warming
the windshield with the defrosters;
the washer solution could freeze on
the windshield and obscure your vision.
CAUTION
- To prevent possible damage to the
wipers or windshield, do not operate
the wipers when the windshield
is dry.

blades, do not use gasoline, kerosene,
paint thinner, or other solvents
on or near them.

arms and other components, do
