Tilt & telescopic steering
A tilt and telescopic steering wheel
allows you to adjust the steering
wheel before you drive. You can also
raise it to give your legs more room
when you exit and enter the vehicle.
The steering wheel should be posi-
tioned so that it is comfortable for
you to drive, whilst permitting you to
see the instrument panel warning
lights and gauges.To change the steering wheel angle,
pull down the lock release lever (1),
adjust the steering wheel to thedesired angle (2) and height (3), then
pull up the lock-release lever to lock
the steering wheel in place. Be sure
to adjust the steering wheel to the
desired position before driving.Heated steering wheel (if equipped)
With the ignition switch in the ON position, pressing the heated steer-
ing wheel button warms the steeringwheel.
✽✽
NOTICE
 The heated steering wheel will turn off automatically approxi-
mately 30 minutes after the heated
steering wheel is turned on.
 If you turn on the ignition again after turn off the engine in half an
hour (after operating heater but-
ton), the heated steering wheel will
be maintained in its 'ON' condition.

Recirculated air position
With the recirculated airposition selected, air from the passenger
compartment will be
drawn through the heat-ing system and heated
or cooled according tothe function selected.
Outside (fresh) air position With the outside (fresh)air position selected, air
enters the vehicle fromoutside and is heated or
cooled according to thefunction selected.✽✽ NOTICE
Prolonged operation of the heater in
the recirculated air position (without
air conditioning selected) may cause
fogging of the windscreen and side
windows and the air within the pas-
senger compartment may become
stale.
In addition, prolonged use of the air
conditioning with the recirculated
air position selected will result in
excessively dry air in the passenger
compartment.WARNING
The continuous use of recir- culated air in the climate con-
trol system 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
system on. It may cause seri-ous harm or death due to a
drop in the oxygen level
and/or body temperature.
The continuous use of recir- culated air in the climate con-
trol system 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 whilst driving.

When using the air conditioning
system, you may notice clear water
dripping (or even puddling) on the
ground under the passenger side
of the vehicle. This is a normal sys-
tem operation characteristic.
Operating the air conditioning sys- tem in the recirculated air position
provides maximum cooling, how-
ever, 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 operation characteristic. Climate control air filter The climate control air filter installed
behind the glove box filters the dust orother pollutants that come into the
vehicle 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 windscreen evenwhen the outside (fresh) air position is
selected. If this happens, have the cli-
mate control air filter replaced by a
professional workshop. Kia recom-
mends to visit an authorised Kia deal-
er/service partner.✽✽
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 cli-
mate control air filter inspections
and changes are required.
 When the air flow rate suddenly decreases, have the system
checked by a professional work-
shop. Kia recommends to visit an
authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
