Features of your vehicle
If your vehicle is equipped with a sunroof,
you can slide or tilt your sunroof with the
sunroof control lever located on the over-
head console. The sunroof can only be opened, closed,
or tilted when the ignition switch is in theON position. In cold and wet climates, the sunroof
may not work properly due to freezing
conditions.
 After the vehicle is washed or in a rain- storm, be sure to wipe off any water that
is on the sunroof before operating it.
Sunroof open warning (if equipped)
If the driver removes the ignition key
(smart key: turns off the engine) and
opens the driver-side door when the sun-
roof is not fully closed, the warning chime
will sound for approximately 7 seconds
and a warning message will appear on
the LCD display.
Close the sunroof securely when leaving
your vehicle.

Recirculated air position
With the recirculated airposition selected, air from the passenger
compartment will be
drawn through the heat-ing system and heatedor cooled according to
the function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position With the outside (fresh)air position selected, air
enters the vehicle fromoutside and is heated orcooled according to thefunction selected.
✽✽ NOTICE
Prolonged operation of the heater in the
recirculated air position (without airconditioning selected) may cause fogging
of the windscreen and side windows and
the air within the passenger compart-ment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air con-
ditioning with the recirculated air posi-
tion selected will result in excessively dry
air in the passenger compartment.
Fan speed control
The ignition switch must be in the ON
position for fan operation.
The fan speed control knob allows you to
control the fan speed of the air flowing
from the ventilation system. To change
the fan speed, turn the knob to the right
for higher speed or left for lower speed.
Setting the fan speed control knob to the
“0” position turns off the fan.
WARNING
 The continuous use of recirculat- ed air in the climate control sys-
tem may increase humidity inside
the vehicle, causing the glass to
fog and obscuring visibility.
 Do not sleep in a vehicle with the air conditioning or heating sys-
tem on. It may cause serious
harm or death due to a drop in the
oxygen level and/or body temper-
ature.
 The continuous use of recirculat- ed air in the climate control sys-
tem can produce drowsiness or
sleepiness, which may result in a
loss of vehicle control. Set the air
intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position as much as
possible whilst driving.

5. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn the air conditioning system on.
 If the windscreen fogs up, set the mode to the or
position. Operation Tips
 To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the vehicle through the venti-
lation system, temporarily set the air
intake control to the recirculated air
position. Be sure to return the control
to the fresh air position when the irrita-
tion has passed to keep fresh air in the
vehicle. This will help keep the driver
alert and comfortable.
 Air for the heating/cooling system is drawn in through the grilles just ahead
of the windscreen. Care should be
taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
 To prevent interior fog on the wind- screen, set the air intake control to the
fresh air position and fan speed to the
desired position, turn on the air condi-tioning system, and adjust the temper-
ature control to desired temperature.OJD042118R

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 windscreen 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 autho-
rised Kia dealer.
