Warming and ventilating the front
seats (if equipped)Warming the seatsThe front seats can be electrically heated
individually when the ignition switch is
ON. When the switch is ON, a number
ranging from 1 to 5 is displayed on the
switch (5 = warmest setting).
To turn off the seat warmer, set the
switch to 0.
The seat warmer turns off automatically
when the seat temperature reaches the
selected range and will turn on again if
the temperature drops below the select-
ed range.
Ventilating the seatsThe front seats are ventilated by the
small vent hole on the surface of the
seats and seatbacks, when the ignition
switch is ON and the control switch is dis-
played in the range of -1 to -3.
Do not spill liquid such as water or bev-
erages on the surface of the front seats
and seatbacks. For the air vent holes
may be blocked and prevent them from
working properly.
Do not place materials such as plastic
bags or newspapers under the seats. The
air vent may not work properly as the air
intake can be blocked.
When the air vent does not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is no change,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized KIA dealer.
As you operate the control switch, you
will be able to notice the temperature
change after 3 to 5 minutes. For the tem-
perature is adjusted by the small air vent.
For more effective use, you may use it
with the air conditioner and heater.

ON position with the engine OFF. This
movement is normal and will not affect
the accuracy of the tachometer once the
engine is running.

operation in the recirculated air
position may allow humidity to
increase inside vehicle which
may fog the glass and obscure
visibility.
Do not sleep in a vehicle with air conditioning or heating system
on. It may cause serious harm or
death due to a drop in the oxygen
level and/or body temperature.
Continued climate control system operation in the reciruclated air
position can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control
