CLIMATE CONTROL AIR FILTER
Filter inspection
If the vehicle is operated in the
severely air-polluted cities or on
dusty rough roads for a long period,it should be inspected more fre-
quently and replaced earlier. When
you, the owner, replace the climate
control air filter, replace it performing
the following procedure, and be care-
ful to avoid damaging other compo-
nents. Replace the filter according to the
maintenance Schedule. Filter replacement
1. With the glove box open, remove
the stoppers on both sides. 2. Open the glove box and remove
the support strap (1).

Maintenance
3. Remove the cover whilst pressingthe right-side lock of the cover and
remove the climate control air fil-
ter. 4. Replace the climate control air fil-
ter.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order of disassembly.
✽✽ NOTICE
When replacing the climate control
air filter install it properly.
Otherwise, the system may produce
noise and the effectiveness of the fil-
ter may be reduced.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
The emission control system of your
vehicle is covered by a written limited
warranty. Please see the warranty
information contained in the Service
Passport in your vehicle.
Your vehicle is equipped with an emission control system to meet all
emission regulations. There are three emission control
systems which are as follows.
(1) Crankcase emission control sys- tem
(2) Evaporative emission control sys- tem
(3) Exhaust emission control systemIn order to assure the proper function
of the emission control systems,
have your vehicle inspected and
maintained by a professional work-shop in accordance with the mainte-
nance schedule in this manual. Kia
recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner. Caution for the Inspection and
Maintenance Test (With Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) system)
To prevent the vehicle from mis-
firing during dynamometer test-
ing, turn the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system off by
pressing the ESC switch.
After dynamometer testing is completed, turn the ESC system
back on by pressing the ESC
switch again.
1. Crankcase emission control system
The positive crankcase ventilation
system is employed to prevent air
pollution caused by blow-by gases
being emitted from the crankcase.This system supplies fresh filtered air
to the crankcase through the air
intake hose. Inside the crankcase,
the fresh air mixes with blow-by
gases, which then pass through the
PCV valve into the induction system. 2. Evaporative emission con-
trol System
The Evaporative Emission Control
System is designed to prevent fuel
vapours from escaping into the
atmosphere.
Canister
Fuel vapours generated inside the fuel tank are absorbed and stored in
the onboard canister. When the
engine is running, the fuel vapours
absorbed in the canister are drawninto the surge tank through the purge
control solenoid valve.
Purge Control Solenoid Valve (PCSV)
The purge control solenoid valve is
controlled by the Engine Control
Module (ECM); when the engine
coolant temperature is low during
idling, the PCSV closes so that evap-
orated fuel is not taken into the
engine. After the engine warms-up
during ordinary driving, the PCSV
opens to introduce evaporated fuel to
the engine.

Diesel Particulate Filter
(if equipped)
The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
system removes the soot in the
exhaust gas.
Unlike a disposable air filter, the DPF
system automatically burns (oxidizes)
and removes the accumulated soot
according to the driving condition. In
other words, the active burning byengine control system and high
exhaust gas temperature caused by
normal/high driving condition burns
and removes the accumulated soot.
However, if the vehicle continues to
be driven at repeated short distance
or driven at low speed for a long
time, the accumulated soot may not
be automatically removed because
of low exhaust gas temperature.
More than a certain amount of sootdeposited, the malfunction indicator
light ( ) illuminates. When the malfunction indicator light
blinks, it may stop blinking by driving
the vehicle at more than 60 km/h (37mph) or at more than second gear
with 1500 ~ 2500 engine rpm for a
certain time (for about 25 minutes). If the malfunction indicator light ( )
continues to be blinked or the warn-
ing massage “Check exhaust system”
illuminates in spite of the procedure,
visit a professional workshop and
check the DPF system. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia deal-
er/service partner.
If you continue to drive with the mal-
function indicator light blinking for a
long time, the DPF system can bedamaged and fuel consumption can
be worsen.
Lean NOx Trap (if equipped)
The Lean NOx Trap (LNT) system
removes the nitrogen oxide in the
exhaust gas. The smell can occur in
the exhaust gas depending on the
quality of the fuel and it can degrade
NOx reduction performance, please
use the regulated automotive dieselfuel.
CAUTION
- Diesel Fuel
(if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regulated automotive diesel fuelfor diesel vehicle equipped with the DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel includinghigh sulfur (more than 50 ppmsulfur) and unspecified addi-tives, it can cause the DPF sys- tem to be damaged and whitesmoke can be emitted.
