talking about MIST in the manual. No MIST on the wiper controls, been sitting in my car turning it on and off like a clown for the last half hour. Even the Kia video doesn't tell you this, thanks for helping.
Haha! Me too!!! That's why I started making all of our videos. There are so many cases where I see something and say "I wish they would explain it a little differently" and that's why I make all of our videos.
You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me atm you can watch all of the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my brother these days :)
thank you soo much i just got a 2020 Kia Proceed GT with 8k miles on it and one of the whipers isn't cleaning propperly and i wanted to change both but couldn't find out how to raise them bc the hood was getting in the way, thank you again for the video helped alot!
Never knew about the double tap of the start button to turn on, but the car does not actually start correct? Good classes, always learning something new. Wonder why on the telluride they did not tuck the back windshield wiper under like on this vehicle?
Yeah, if you don't press your foot on the brake, one press brings you to the Accessory mode, the second tap brings you to the ON position (but doesn't start the car) I use this function all the time when I film indoors. I think the Telluride doesn't have the wiper there because we've always had it where it is on our SUV's. For 2021 they moved it to the spoiler on the Sorento, and I wonder if every future redesign of our SUV's won't include it there. It doesn't seem to have any downsides if you ask me.
Thanks for these classes. I really liked the one with tilting the mirrors. Could you do one on battery replacement on the key fob? I just received notice on my dash that it’s low. Thanks, Kia Soul, 2019.
The key thing can be a little tricky if you've never done it, but very easy if you know how. If in doubt, stop by your dealer. We do key fob battery replacements at no charge (other then the price of the battery)
Hi, Thanks for your question. Size may vary depending on the year of your vehicle, Without this information I am unable to answer your question. Also, we don’t receive the XCeed here in Canada, For the most accurate information I’d recommend calling your local dealerships parts department. Hope this helps!
I have a 2018 Optima SX and I don't have to do that last button press to put it in accessory mode, I can just hold the wiper stalk after turning the car off and they go right up no problem. Maybe that's just an Optima thing?
Same idea exactly. Turn the car to ON, back to OFF, then back to ACCESSORY and lift the wiper stalk and hold it until the wipers rise. ua-cam.com/video/BZSDtZPhBWs/v-deo.html
There isn't a screen saver, although you can now change some Apple CarPlay wallpapers, so that may be an option for some variety. As of now, I haven't seen a console for the centre row of the new Sorento.
Greetings from Vancouver BC. Wish I was in Ontario - would certainly buy from your dealership! Been watching a lot of your videos and I appreciate all the knowledge you provide. I will be picking up a 2022 PHEV Niro. Will this also work on that?
@@BrantfordKia Yes of course I tried it many times but it does not go to the accessories mode. Maybe there is another way to do it. I cant lift the wiper in this car. Thanks for your reply though
Is it really necessary to double tap? I thought if you just press the button once with your foot off the brake then it is also accessory mode. Am I wrong about this?
You're correct. But in order for the wipers to go into this service mode, the vehicle needs to be turned ON... then OFF... then back to accessory. That's why I went through the sequence that I did in this video.
I don't have a problem reaching it from the passenger side of the car, but that's a good point. I guess someone shorter than me, or with shorter arms may have to use a step stool beside the car. I hadn't really thought about that.
Great question. Yes, you can put it in accessory mode by just pressing the button once, but you can't get the wipers to activate like shown in this video, unless you first turn it on, then off, then back to accessory.
Not too complictated... even if you do want to train your old dog. :) Turn the car on, turn it off, turn it to accessory, then hold the wiper stalk up.
Followed all the instructions but my cars wipes just operate like normal and won’t stay in the raised position :/ sorento 2022 model. Edit: ok there is an additional part that is missing for 2022 models. TLDR; You need to lift AND HOLD the wiper stalk for 3 seconds in the up position .
Why in the world do you have to press the Power button four times before you can do that? On my Audi, I had to press it once before using the thing under the steering wheel.
Kia uses their own electronic systems. I suppose you could lift it, the X Line is a slight lift over the regular units. I'm not sure what kind of aftermarket kits are out there to make things more off-road worthy.
Wish the previous owner of my Optima knew this... there’s a chunk of paint missing out of the edge of the hood from the wipers being forced up at some point. 🤦🏻♀️
Haha! Awkward way to find that out! I had someone say to me in person, "so THAT'S how the paint got chipped there!" The more subscribers we get, the more I'll be able to help! :)
You want to get them lifted before it freezes, or carefully clear the snow and ice with them down. You can lift the wipers from the windshield, even in the lowered position, but you can't lift them up fully.
Still isn't going to help with snow and ice! How do you lift them OFF the windshield? That is the question. I have a 2023 Sportage, my 2018 I was able to lift them off of the windshield.
@@BrantfordKia thank you. The 2018 are not hidden, but it would be nice if they would park in the upright position when I turn the key off. They don't. I have tried different things to get them to park in the up pos. But thanks for your help
A bit older models: 1. lift the wiper, 2. do what you have to do, scratch the ice on the glass or change the wiper, 3. put the wiper down. New models: 1. make a breakdance on your head 2. sing the anthem of Zimbabwe backwards, 3. watch this video because the producers make things more and more complicated on simple everyday maintenance acitivites, 4. do jour job on the wipers. 5. again breakdance and the anthem in reverse order to put the wipers in defau;t positions. Clownworld at its best.
I think they do this because not every car in the world has the same infotainment system. That's something that would make sense to me, but I guess they don't do that. Either way, once you know how to do this, it's pretty easy.
Şunu birisi türkçe anlatsın arkadaş olmuyor önce start tuşuna basıyor sonra bir daha basıyor sonra kapatmak için basıp kolu 1 kademe açıyor ama olmuyor
Wow seems stupid. Having to press the button twice then turn it back off and then turn the button on just to get it to accessory mode. Why not just push the button once to get it to accessory mode. In cold climates with a lot of snow where I live, you have to lift the wipers up daily to clean under them, what a pain
talking about MIST in the manual. No MIST on the wiper controls, been sitting in my car turning it on and off like a clown for the last half hour. Even the Kia video doesn't tell you this, thanks for helping.
Thank you so much for this! I read how to do it, but am one of those people that needs to actually see it being done to really understand it.
Haha! Me too!!! That's why I started making all of our videos. There are so many cases where I see something and say "I wish they would explain it a little differently" and that's why I make all of our videos.

@Juelz Baylor Definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
Thanks so much for your time and information. I was stuck until I watched your video
LOLO i have just looked at my uk Niro hybrid and yes, i cant move the wipers .. tried your trick and I can !! awsome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you soo much i just got a 2020 Kia Proceed GT with 8k miles on it and one of the whipers isn't cleaning propperly and i wanted to change both but couldn't find out how to raise them bc the hood was getting in the way, thank you again for the video helped alot!
Thanks man. Same for Santa Fe 2020??
Does the 2023 Sorento use the J style hook for mounting the wiper blades?
Never knew about the double tap of the start button to turn on, but the car does not actually start correct?
Good classes, always learning something new.
Wonder why on the telluride they did not tuck the back windshield wiper under like on this vehicle?
Right, as long as you don't put your foot on the brake the car will not start, just goes to the accessory and then the "on" position.
Yeah, if you don't press your foot on the brake, one press brings you to the Accessory mode, the second tap brings you to the ON position (but doesn't start the car) I use this function all the time when I film indoors. I think the Telluride doesn't have the wiper there because we've always had it where it is on our SUV's. For 2021 they moved it to the spoiler on the Sorento, and I wonder if every future redesign of our SUV's won't include it there. It doesn't seem to have any downsides if you ask me.
Thank you for uploading these videos!!!!
Thanks man! Kia does not give this info easily!!
At least for the Telluride, you don't need to cycle the power a 2'nd time, just ON & OFF once and lift the stalk.
Thanks for these classes. I really liked the one with tilting the mirrors. Could you do one on battery replacement on the key fob? I just received notice on my dash that it’s low. Thanks, Kia Soul, 2019.

You missed the part about setting on mist and holding it for 2 seconds.
This!
Please can you tell me what size for driver and passenger wiper blade for a Kia XCeed
Hi, Thanks for your question. Size may vary depending on the year of your vehicle, Without this information I am unable to answer your question.

Great video and great training for all👏👌👍🇵🇷
Thanks for watching!

There may be some slight variation. This will work with all of the cars, what your describing may not always work with every car. Thanks for sharing!
How about the Kia Forte with key?
Same idea exactly. Turn the car to ON, back to OFF, then back to ACCESSORY and lift the wiper stalk and hold it until the wipers rise. ua-cam.com/video/BZSDtZPhBWs/v-deo.html
@@BrantfordKia thank you for the video. Stay safe
@@mr.rodneygregg3445 Thanks! You too!
Is there a screen saver on the radio? Also do they sell a console for the 2nd roll for a 2021 sorento?
There isn't a screen saver, although you can now change some Apple CarPlay wallpapers, so that may be an option for some variety. As of now, I haven't seen a console for the centre row of the new Sorento.
Greetings from Vancouver BC. Wish I was in Ontario - would certainly buy from your dealership! Been watching a lot of your videos and I appreciate all the knowledge you provide. I will be picking up a 2022 PHEV Niro. Will this also work on that?
I believe that the Niro wipers are clear and you can just lift them like you always have on a traditional vehicle.
I have a 2020 forte that uses the key to start, would it be almost the same process to get the wipers up?
Yes. Turn the car on, then off, then to accessory, and lift the wiper stalk and hold it until the wipers come up. Great question.
@@BrantfordKia thanks for this info I've been wondering how to do this for a while
@@andersonpatrick2436 I should have linked this video for you: ua-cam.com/video/BZSDtZPhBWs/v-deo.html
I tried it on my 2020 Forte EX but doesnot seem to work. Can you please confirm if it works on this car? Thanks for your video
It will work on any vehicle that you can't lift the wipers because the hood is in the way. Maybe try it again, to see if you can get it to work?
@@BrantfordKia Yes of course I tried it many times but it does not go to the accessories mode. Maybe there is another way to do it. I cant lift the wiper in this car. Thanks for your reply though
Never mind.... I just saw your other old video on Forte. Its little different. I will try again.
Thank you for this!!!!
Thanks for watching, and also for letting me know that this was helpful!
Subbed I thought the wipers not coming up meant the car might have been hit in the front 😂😂😂
Is it really necessary to double tap? I thought if you just press the button once with your foot off the brake then it is also accessory mode. Am I wrong about this?
You're correct. But in order for the wipers to go into this service mode, the vehicle needs to be turned ON... then OFF... then back to accessory. That's why I went through the sequence that I did in this video.
Just like with a std key, first position is unlock or ACC1, 2'nd position is ACC2
Thanks! I was afraid it was a manufacturing defect when I couldn't raise the wiper blade of my new Sorento.
Thank you! I never thought about that! Your videos are the best. Learned a lot from your videos. Earned a sub from me for sure!
Awesome!! Thanks!!
For everyone that it’s not working for. The trick is to hold the whispers switch up until the blades move
how do you reach passenger side wiper arm after in service position?
I don't have a problem reaching it from the passenger side of the car, but that's a good point. I guess someone shorter than me, or with shorter arms may have to use a step stool beside the car. I hadn't really thought about that.
Can’t you just push the button once for accessory mode?
Great question. Yes, you can put it in accessory mode by just pressing the button once, but you can't get the wipers to activate like shown in this video, unless you first turn it on, then off, then back to accessory.
Thank you peter.
Thanks for watching!
I'm referring to pulling them up off of the windshield when it snows
Wish there was an easier way...tough teaching this old dog new tricks.
Not too complictated... even if you do want to train your old dog. :) Turn the car on, turn it off, turn it to accessory, then hold the wiper stalk up.
@@BrantfordKia Or I can just pull up the wiper on my mustang...one and done...but since I love my Forte Gt and telluride I'll overlook this nuisance.
@@ricoe3288 Yeah, it's not my favourite feature, but it's not difficult to do once you know how.
@@BrantfordKia 👍

Kia did not tell me this when I bought my Sorento. Thank you.
Glad I could help!
Wish I saw this before I scratched the ember of three hood. Sad times
Whoops! I tried!!
Why in the world do you have to press the Power button four times before you can do that? On my Audi, I had to press it once before using the thing under the steering wheel.
But can a suspension be lifted? what traction control does Kia Uses? Haldex or any? Considering one as a 7 Seater
Kia uses their own electronic systems. I suppose you could lift it, the X Line is a slight lift over the regular units. I'm not sure what kind of aftermarket kits are out there to make things more off-road worthy.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work on a 2105 K900, guess they hadn't figured it out yet.
2021 Sorento Hybrid EX. Tried. Didnt work. Put it in accessory mode, pull up on lever, nothing happens.
Ok. Got it. Have to double tap it on, then hold the wiper stalk up. Just pulling it up and letting it go doesnt do it
Wish the previous owner of my Optima knew this... there’s a chunk of paint missing out of the edge of the hood from the wipers being forced up at some point. 🤦🏻♀️

how to get low fluid level warning to go off
top up fluid?
Mine do not do this. They go up and down like windshield wipers. They do not go and stop.....
How about an 18 with a key?
Here's a video that I made that should help you out. ua-cam.com/video/BZSDtZPhBWs/v-deo.html
@@BrantfordKia thank you. The 2018 are not hidden, but it would be nice if they would park in the upright position when I turn the key off. They don't. I have tried different things to get them to park in the up pos. But thanks for your help
1:45
For some reason this isnt working for me :(
So you press the button four times and lift the lever.
I'm not sure if that's exactly what is required, but yes it has to be turned on and off, and then you follow the rest of this video.
It's all common sense👍
Yup. Not too difficult.
A bit older models: 1. lift the wiper, 2. do what you have to do, scratch the ice on the glass or change the wiper, 3. put the wiper down.

Why not just put it in the infotainment unit? Service wipers. This is stupid
I think they do this because not every car in the world has the same infotainment system. That's something that would make sense to me, but I guess they don't do that. Either way, once you know how to do this, it's pretty easy.
Nice
Thanks for watching!
Should be menu setting.
Yeah, I don't disagree.
Why are you not showing hoe to take the blade off? Most important thing!
Because that's the same as every other car. Lifting the wipers is unique to some of our vehicles. I could make another video in the future.

It Doesn’t work
I can't believe Kia intentionally designed the wiper arms this way. It's so stupid and pointless.
what a dumb design. every winter you have to re-read how to do this function because you will forget.
Ok blah blah blah just get to it.
Sounds like you could have saved some time by searching for another video instead of writing this comment.
You didn’t address key turn with same issue
