CORRECT PROCEDURE FOR RAISING
WINDSHIELD WIPERS
 NOTICE
This bulletin has been revised to include additional information. New/revised
sections of this bulletin are indicated by a black bar in the margin area.
When servicing the windshield wipers on 2015MY~ K900 (KH), 2016MY~ Optima (JFa/JF),
and 2018MY~ Stinger (CK) vehicles during PDI, make sure to use the procedure outlined
below to raise the wiper arms to the fully vertical position in order to avoid damaging the
paint on the rear edge of the hood. It is important to note that the wipers on these vehicles
are recessed under the hood to provide better appearance and reduced wind noise
characteristics. This procedure applies to both key start and SMK type ignition systems.
Raising the windshield wiper arms:
1. Turn the vehicle ignition ON with the engine OFF and
then turn the ignition OFF.
2. Within three (3) seconds after turning the vehicle ignition
OFF, raise the wiper blade control stalk and hold it for
more than two (2) seconds (A).
3. The wiper arms will move upward and stop in the fully
vertical position (B). The wiper arms may now be moved
away from the windshield for any needed PDI process or
service procedures.
4. Once finished servicing the wipers, turn the vehicle
ignition ON with the engine OFF. Then, move the wiper
blade control stalk up to return the wipers to the “parked”
position.
5. Finally, turn the vehicle ignition to the OFF position.
NOTE: all dealer personnel should become familiar with
this procedure to prevent paint damage when using a
raised wiper arm as a sign for vehicle readiness status,
or for locating the vehicle in a storage yard.
