Passengers should use extreme
caution when using seat warmers
due to the possibility of excess
heating or burns. The occupants
must be able to feel if the seat isbecoming too warm and to turn the

may cause burns even at low tem-
peratures, especially if used for
long periods of time. In particular,
the driver must exercise extreme
care for the following types of pas-
sengers:

dent they could come loose from
the pocket and injure vehicle occu-pants.

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.

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.

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 upinside of the windshield.
To turn the defrosting (and/or defog- ging) off, push the defrost button ( )
again. At this time the air flow mode will
change to the previous mode automat-
ically. (for manual climate control sys-tem, if equipped) Manual climate control system
