Air conditioning system operation tips
 If the vehicle has been parked in directsunlight during hot weather, open the
windows for a short time to let the hot
air inside the vehicle escape.
 Use air conditioning to reduce humidi- ty and moisture inside the vehicle on
rainy or humid days.
 During air conditioning system opera- tion, you may occasionally notice aslight change in engine speed as the
air conditioning compressor cycles.
This is a normal system operation
characteristic.
 Use the air conditioning system every month only for a few minutes to ensure
maximum system performance.  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
characteristic.
 Operating the air conditioning system in the recirculated air position provides
maximum cooling, however, continual
operation in this mode may cause the
air inside the vehicle to become stale.
 During cooling operation, you may occasionally notice a misty air flow
because of rapid cooling and humid air
intake. This is a normal system opera-
tion characteristic. Climate control air filter The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or
other pollutants that come into the vehi-cle from the outside through the heating
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 accumulation on the inside of
the windshield even when the outside
(fresh) air position is selected. If this hap-
pens, we recommend that the climate
control air filter be replaced by an author-
ized Kia dealer.

 For maximum defrosting, set the tem-perature control to the hottest position
and the fan speed control to the high-est speed.
 If warm air to the floor is desired while defrosting or defogging, set the modeto the floor-defrost position.
 Before driving, clear all snow and ice from the windshield, rear window, out-
side rear view mirrors, and all side win-
dows.
 Clear all snow and ice from the hood and air inlet in the cowl grill to improveheater and defroster efficiency and to
reduce the probability of fogging up theinside of the windshield. Manual climate control systemTo defog inside windshield
1. Set the fan speed to the desired posi-
tion.
2. Select desired temperature.
3. Select the position.
4. The outside (fresh) air will be selected automatically. If the position is selected, air conditioning (if equipped)
will also be selected automatically.

WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING
WARNING - Windshield
heating
Do not use the position during
cooling operation in extremely
humid weather. The differencebetween the temperature of the out-side air and the windshield couldcause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, causing loss
of visibility. In this case, set the
mode selection to the position
and fan speed control to the lowerspeed.

Auto defogging system
(Only for automatic climate control
system, if equipped)
Auto defogging reduces the possibility of
fogging up the inside of the windshield by automatically sensing the moisture of inside the windshield.
The auto defogging system operates when the climate control system is on.
✽✽ NOTICE
The auto defogging system may not
operate normally, when the outside tem-
perture is below -15 °C.

operates.
If more moisture is in the vehicle, higher
steps operate as follow.
Step 1 : Operating the air conditioning
Step 2 : Outside air position
Step 3 : Blowing air flow toward the wind- shield
Step 4 : Increasing air flow toward the windshield
