Kia Sportage Prestige Hybrid

To have the wipers lift up you push the start button twice and immediately push the windshield wiper stalk on the steering column up. This will raise the wipers and freeze them in place. To lower them just push the start twice again and turn off the wipers.

Thanks for the heads up. I have not gone through the 200 page manual except for some things, would never have figured this one out intuitively.

Not that I know of, but if you are talking about the parking sensors, it's the P switch on the center console.
