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.
PANORAMA SUNROOF (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION -
Sunroof control
lever
Do not continue to move the sun- roof control lever after the sunroofis fully opened, closed, or tilted.Damage to the motor or system
components could occur.

shade while driving. This could
result in loss of control and an acci-
dent that may cause death, serious
injury, or property damage.
WARNING
In order to prevent accidental oper-
ation of the sunroof, especially by a
child, do not let a child operate the
sunroof.
WARNING
Do not sit on the top of the vehicle.
It may cause vehicle damage.

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 air
conditioning selected) may cause fogging
of the windshield 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 while driving.

Features of your vehicle
✽✽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 used
with the windows closed.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 a slightchange in engine speed as the air con-
ditioning 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.

✽✽
NOTICE
Replace the filter according to the Maintenance Schedule.
If the car 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 suddenly
decreases, we recommend that the
system be checked by an authorized
Kia dealer.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 inspect-
ed by an authorized Kia dealer.
*: Your vehicle is filled with R-134a or R-1234yf according to the regulation in
your country at the time of producing.
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied your vehicle at
the label inside of hood. Refer to chap-
ter 8 for more detail location of air con-
ditioning refrigerant label.
WARNING - Vehicles
equipped with R-1234yf*
Because the refrigerant
is mildly inflammable
and at very high pres-
sure, the air conditioning
system should only be
serviced by trained and
certified technicians. It is
important that the cor-rect type and amount of
oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to
the vehicle and personal injury.
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.
