the air intake control to the recircula‐
ted 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 comforta‐
ble.
• 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 obstruc‐
tions.
• 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 conditioning system, and adjust the temperature control to desired
temperature.
• If the windshield fogs up, set the mode to the

Climate control air filter
06.-
A: Outside air
B: Recirculated air
C: Climate control air filter
D: Blower
E: Evaporator core
F: Heater core The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust or other pollutants that come into the ve‐
hicle 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 de‐
crease, resulting in moisture accumula‐ tion on the inside of the windshield
even when the outside (fresh) air posi‐
tion is selected. If this happens, we rec‐ ommend that the climate control air fil‐
ter be replaced by an authorized Kia
dealer.NOTICE
•Replace the filter according to the
