AIR CONDITIONER AIR FILTER (IF EQUIPPED)
The air conditioner air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dustor other pollutants that come into the
vehicle from the outside through theheating and air conditioning system.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate
in the filter over a period of time, the
air flow from the air vents may
decrease, resulting in moisture accu-
mulation on the inside of the wind-
shield even when the outside (fresh)
are position is selected. If this hap-
pens, have the air conditioner air fil-
ter replaced by an Authorized Kia
Dealer. The air filter should be replaced
every 15,000 km. If the vehicle is
operated in the severely air-polluted
cities or on dusty rough roads for a
long period, it should be inspected
more frequently and replaced earlier.
When you try to replace the air filter
by owner maintenance, replace it
performing the following procedure,
and in this case, be careful to avoid
damaging other components.
