NOTICEIt should be noted that prolonged oper-
ation of the heating in recirculated air
position will cause fogging of the wind-
shield and side windows and the air
within the passenger compartment will
become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the “recirculated air
position” selected, will result in exces-
sively dry air in the passenger compart-
ment.
Temperature control knobThe temperature control knob allows you
to control the temperature of the air flow-
ing from the ventilation system. To
change the air temperature in the pas-
senger compartment, turn the knob to
the WARM position for warm and hot air
or COOL position for cooler air.
Turn the left knob to control the driver
side air temperature.
Turn the right knob to control the pas- senger side air temperature.
WARNING
Continued climate control systemoperation 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 recirculated air
position can cause drowsiness or
sleepiness, and loss of vehicle
control. Set the air intake control
to the outside (fresh) air position
as much as possible while dri-
ving.

3Heating and ventilation (rear)Temperature, fan speed and mode of the
rear climate control system can be con-
trolled independently regardless of the
front climate control system operation.
However, the front climate control system
should be operated together for rear air
conditioning;
1. Set the front fan speed to the desired
position.
2. Push the air conditioning button.
3. Set the rear temperature, fan speed and mode to the desired position.
Rear fan speed controlFrom front seat
Set the rear fan speed control (REAR)
knob in the front climate control panel to
the desired position (except R and 0
positions).
To change the rear fan speed, turn the
knob to the right for higher speed or left
for lower speed.
Setting the knob to the OFF(0) position
turns off the rear fan. From rear seat
Set the rear fan speed control (REAR)
knob in the front climate control panel to
the R position and set the rear fan speed
control knob on the rear control panel to
the desired position.
To change the rear fan speed, turn the
knob to the right for higher speed or left

Air conditioning (if equipped) All Kia Air Conditioning Systems are
filled with environmentally friendly
R-134a refrigerant which is not damag-
ing to the ozone layer.
1. Start the engine. Push the air condi- tioning button.
2. Set the mode to the position.
3. Set the air intake control to the outside air or recirculated air position.
4. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
5. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
6. Adjust the fan speed control and tem- perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
When maximum cooling is desired, set the temperature control to the COOL
position, set the air intake control to the
recirculated air position, then set the
fan speed control to the highest speed.
CAUTION
When using the air conditioning system, monitor the temperaturegauge closely while driving up hills or in heavy traffic when out-side temperatures are high. Air conditioning system operationmay cause engine overheating.Continue to use the blower fan but turn the air conditioning sys-tem off if the temperature gauge indicates engine overheating.
When opening the windows in humid weather air conditioningmay create water droplets insidethe vehicle. Since excessive water droplets may cause dam-age to electrical equipment, airconditioning should only be run with the windows closed.

3Air conditioning system operation tips
If the vehicle has been parked in direct
sunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
To help reduce moisture inside of win- dows on rainy humid days, decrease
the humidity inside the vehicle by oper-
ating the air conditioning system.
During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice a
slight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles on.
This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
Use the air conditioning system every month if only for a few minutes to
ensure maximum system perfor-
mance.
When using the air conditioning sys- tem, you may notice clear water drip-
ping (or even puddling) on the ground
under the passenger side of the vehi-
cle. This is a normal system operation
characteristics.
Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position does
provide maximum cooling, however,
continual operation in this mode may
cause the air inside the vehicle to
become stale.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricantWhen the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ-
ence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by an
authorized Kia dealer.
CAUTION
The air conditioning system shouldbe serviced by an authorized Kia dealer. Improper service may causeserious injury.
CAUTION
When the performance of the air conditioning system is reduced it isimportant that the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant isused. Otherwise, damage to the compressor and abnormal systemoperation may occur.

3Automatic operationThe automatic climate control system is
controlled by simply setting the desired
temperature.
The Full Automatic Temperature Control
(FATC) system automatically controls the
heating and cooling system as follows;
1. Push the AUTO button. It is indicated
by AUTO on the display. The modes,
fan speeds, air intake and air-condi-
tioning will be controlled automatically
by temperature setting. 2. Push the TEMP button to set the
desired temperature.
If the temperature is set to the lowest
setting LO (17°C/62°F), the air condi-
tioning system will operate continu-
ously.
3. To turn the automatic operation off, press any button except temperature
control button. If you press the mode
selection button, air-conditioning but-
ton, defrost button, air intake control
button or fan speed knob, the selected
function will be controlled manually
while other functions operate automat-
ically.
Regardless of the temperature setting,
when using automatic operation, the air
conditioning system can automatically
turn on to decrease the humidity inside
the vehicle, even if the temperature is set
to warm.

CAUTION
Never place anything over the sen- sor located on the instrument panel to ensure better control of the heat-ing and cooling system.
