System operation
Ventilation
1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to the outside(fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
Heating
1. Set the mode to the position.
2. Set the air intake control to the outside
(fresh) air position.
3. Set the temperature control to the desired position.
4. Set the fan speed control to the desired speed.
5. If dehumidified heating is desired, turn the air conditioning system (if equipped) on.
If the windshield fogs up, set the mode to the or
position.
Operation Tips
To keep dust or unpleasant fumes from
entering the car through the ventilation
system, temporarily set the air intakecontrol to the recirculated air position.
Be sure to return the control to the
fresh air position when the irritation
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 windshield. Care should be
taken that these are not blocked by
leaves, snow, ice or other obstructions.
To prevent interior fog on the wind- shield, 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. Air conditioning Kia air conditioning systems are filled
with R-134a or R-1234yf refrigerant.
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. Adjust the fan speed control and tem- perature control to maintain maximum
comfort.
Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or R-1234yf according to the regulation in
your country at the time of production.
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied to your vehicle onthe label located inside of the hood.
Refer to chapter 8 for the location of the
air conditioning refrigerant label.

NOTICE
 When using the air conditioning sys- tem, monitor the temperature gauge
closely while driving up hills or in
heavy traffic when outside tempera-
tures are high. Air conditioning sys-
tem operation may cause engine over-
heating. Continue to use the blower
fan but turn the air conditioning sys-
tem off if the temperature gauge indi-
cates engine overheating.
 When opening the windows in humid weather air conditioning may create
water droplets inside the vehicle.
Since excessive water droplets may
cause damage to electrical equipment,
air conditioning should only be run
with the windows closed.Air 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 the windows on rainy or humid days,
decrease the humidity inside the vehi-
cle by operating the air conditioningsystem.
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.
CAUTION
The refrigerant system should
only be serviced by trained andcertified technicians to insure proper and safe operation.
The refrigerant system should be serviced in a well-ventilatedplace.
The air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) shall never berepaired or replaced with one
removed from a used or salvaged vehicle and new replacement MACevaporators shall be certified (and labeled) as meeting SAE Standard
J2842.

Features of your vehicle
Operating the air conditioning systemin 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 characteristics.
Climate control air filter (if equipped) 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 the climate control
air filter be replaced by an authorized Kia
dealer.✽✽NOTICE
 Replace the filter according to the Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is being driven in severe
conditions such as dusty, rough roads,
more frequent climate control air fil-
ter inspections and changes are
required.
 When the air flow rate is suddenly
decreases, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.

Air Conditioning refrigerant label ❈ The actual Air Conditioning refrigerant
label in the vehicle may differ from the
illustration. Each symbols and specification on air
conditioning refrigerant label means as
below ;
1. Classification of refrigerant
2. Amount of refrigerant
3. Classification of Compressor lubricant
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied your vehicle at thelabel inside of the engine room.
Refer to chapter 8 for more detail location
of air conditioning refrigerant label.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-sor lubricant
When 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, we recommend that the system be
inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING - Vehicles
equipped with R-134a
Because the refrigerant
is at very high pressure,the air conditioning sys-
tem should only be
serviced by trained and
certified technicians. It is importantthat the correct type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to
the vehicle and personal injury.

Recirculated air position
The indicator light on the
button illuminates when therecirculated air position isselected.
With the recirculated air position selected, air from
the passenger compart-
ment will be drawn throughthe heating system andheated or cooled accordingto the function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position The indicator light on the
button does not illuminatewhen the outside (fresh) airposition is selected. With the outside (fresh) air position selected, air enters
the vehicle from outside andis heated or cooled accord-ing to the function selected.✽✽NOTICE
Prolonged operation of the heater in the
recirculated air position (without air
conditioning selected) may cause fog-
ging of the windshield and side windows
and the air within the passenger com-
partment may become stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated air
position selected will result in excessive-
ly dry air in the passenger compart-
ment. WARNING
Continuous operation of the cli- mate control system in the recir-
culated air position may allowhumidity to increase inside the
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.
Continuous operation of the cli- mate control system in the recir-culated 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 driving.
