When the operation of the air ventila-
tion is not needed, keep the switches
in the OFF position.
Each time you press the switch,the airflow will change as follows:
When pressing the switch for more than 1.5 seconds with the seat
cooler operating, the seat cooler
will turn OFF.
When the air ventilation seat is turned on, the seat may get cooler
after about 5 minutes.
Because the air ventilation uses the air in the vehicle, cooling effi-
ciency depends on the tempera-
ture of the air. In order to improve
cooling efficiency, use the air con-
ditioning system together.
The air ventilation seat defaults to the OFF position whenever the
Engine Start/Stop Button is turned
to the ON position. You can activate or deactivate the
rear air ventilation button by using
the REAR LOCK button on the rear
armrest or “System Settings” in
AVN (Audio, Video, and
Navigation). Detailed information
for “System Settings” is described
in a separately supplied manual. If
the REAR LOCK button activated
(LED “ON”), you can not activate
the rear air ventilation button.
After deactivating (LED “OFF”) the
REAR LOCK button, you can acti-
vate the rear air ventilation button.
If the REAR LOCK button has acti-
vated through AVN, you can deacti-
vate the REAR LOCK button only
through AVN.
The air ventilation seat is a supple- mentary cooling/heating system.
Use the air ventilation seat when
the climate control system is on.
Using the air ventilation seat for
prolonged periods of time with the
climate control system off could
cause the air ventilation seat per-
formance to impair. Do not place materials such as
plastic bags or newspapers under
the seats. The air vent may not
work properly as the air intake can
be blocked.
✽ NOTICE
When the air vent does not operate,
restart the vehicle. If there is no
change, have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized K900 Kia dealer.
OFF→ HIGH( )→ MIDDLE( )→LOW( )
→ When cleaning the seats, do
not use an organic solvent
such as paint thinner, ben-
zene, alcohol and gasoline.
Doing so may damage the
surface of the seats.
Do not spill liquid such as water or beverages on the
surface of the front seats and
seatbacks, or the air vent
holes may be blocked and
prevented from working prop-
erly.
